RCMP Canadian Fire Arms Program line is bombarded with calls today. Tried to change my range from Phoenix to Wabamun Gun Range, got through after being on hold for a long time, then they transferred me to a dead end.
What are you referring to as to "change your range" ?

When you purchase a handgun they ask you for a range that you are a member of. When you join a range they file with the provincial RCMP that your a member. I can only use my registered restricted firearm at that range. I want to go to the range close to my residence and phoenix one of our local ranges is undergoing renovations at this time.

Well technically you don't need to be a member of a range to purchase a restricted firearm, if you don't have a range membership though you have no authorization to transport said restricted firearm. Now if you have a range membership I am 90% certain you are not limited to only that range provided you can travel directly to a range from your residence without stopping. I am a member at 3 different ranges and use them all depending on the day and what I am going to shoot.

The guys at Phoenix are awesome, spent a good 6 hours there and probably $5-600 one day when I was just getting into pistols and figuring out what I liked and didn't like to shoot.

I was told in my RPAL course that I must be registered at a range prior to purchase of a restricted weapon. When I bought both they asked each time. Then spoke with RCMP Firearms office today and they said I must be member or a range or they wont approve the transfer. When getting my RPAL I got a second one about 2 weeks after that says Standard and transportation conditions are attached to this license.

Yes the phoenix crew sounds awesome, spoke to them on the phone and they were very helpful. The Wabamun gun range is 15 minutes away from me, ill try that for the summer then go to phoenix in the winter.

And this just in. What’s todays headline from our government? Today the Liberal govt announced that BC will be the first province to legalize small amounts of hard drugs like cocaine, heroin and fentanyl. It will be legal to carry personal amounts and they won’t be confiscated. Because no one ever died from a drug overdose in this country? Good gawd let me off this ride….
this ride is 4 coupons Ken hang the fack-on buddy

These are the people that are a danger to our country, he should be locked up for trying to subvert the Constitution of the US. He and his fellow Democrats are a clear and present danger to this country but I dare them to try and take our guns from us, they will have major bloodshed on their hands.

This is what we were taught as well in our RPAL course. When I ordered my AR my dealer told me I needed to join a range to shoot it if I wanted to have the request go through. He had a membership book in his desk for Claresholm for $30 lifetime if I remember? I have never been there but joined the Calgary District Target Shooters Club as they built a world class range 4 miles from my farm and that’s where I do the majority of my shooting.

Typical liberal thinking, legalize drugs to stop a people problem, ban guns to stop a people problem.
