Thats what I was saying in my previous post. No mention of that on the form but got an email asking for proof. It is not legal to shoot a restricted weapon anywhere but a gun range.

True; But I imagine some people will never own restricted weapons, will never join a gun club, but are only getting rpal as a middle finger to liberals only haha. Let ya know what I find out

I had to send in the paperwork for my renewal last year. It is a confirmation of purpose form. I joined a gun club last year but I think an associate membership satisfies this requirement. (What my neighbor did)

If you say you are a collector, no proof of range membership. Being a collector opens you up to different rules around inspections though..

MP Bill Liar said yesterday he expects it will cost in the range of $756 million for the federal gun buy back program. I'm hoping he misses it huge and peeps take option 1 and keep their guns to be used again when a sane govt gets control of the country once again.

Yup, I've asked them on the phone if all the gang members bought their range permit too.... It was silence on the other end.

Wow good for you. This makes absolutely no sense to me but it appears to have worked for you? I guess the question is? Do you currently own a restricted weapon?

I'm just as flabbergasted as you are man. Makes no sense for sure.
No I dont have one, I imagine some people..... hahaha

Maybe that’s why? Maybe when you do try and purchase one and go through all the jumping through hoops you will be required at that time?

You're probably right.
Thus why I prefer the crossbow lol.

That’s my understanding of it too - you can have an RPAL without owning any R’s, but once you pick up your first piece all the other range/transport bullchit kicks in.

I wish people would stop using the term weapon when referring to a firearm. It is only a weapon if used as such. There are two legitimate reasons to own a firearm. One is for hunting and the other is for target or sport shooting. To purchase a firearm you require a PAL or RPAL. If you wish to buy a weapon you need to go on the black-market which requires neither a PAL or RPAL. Yes fire arms are used as weapons, but a firearm is only as dangerous as the person using it. Knives, baseball bats and even vehicles have been used as weapons as well. I own several restricted firearms and the only use they get is to make holes in paper at the range. I do not consider my firearms as weapons, but rather, as a tool or instrument to facilitate my sport. No different than a hockey stick other than the fact that I need to be licensed to own them.

So please stop using the term weapon when referring to legitimately owned fire arms.

I don't think you have to belong to a club for a PAL but you do for an RPAL. If you don't then start looking. They won't give you a card if you dont have proof of membership.

I had my RPal for 8-10 years ish before owning a restricted firearm. I didnt have any interest in restricted firearms at the time, but decided to write both when I was 18.

Never had to have proof of a range membership until I had a restricted firearm registered to me.

I think that is the way. I had my restricted for several years before I purchased one and I had to buy a range membership before acquiring said restricted pea shooter
