Canada Gun Advice? Strelok 03/09/20 (Mon) 01:29:56 d25f4b No.689209

Up north citizens are not allowed to purchase guns for the purpose of self defence or wield guns in self-defence, as best I understand it.

Luckily, target sport with pistols is coincidentally an attractive hobby which many of us Canadians feel compelled to pursue for the purpose of improving our hand-eye coordination for better video game skills.

Plus, the ability to use a rifle would also be useful to provide food to live on, should we ever happen upon a forest full of dear whom we may legally hunt once having procured a license to lawfully do so.

I would like some advice on the various ways we can responsible pursue these hobbies. For example, I know I need a CFSC pass to get a PAL and a CFRSC to get an RPAL.

Before investing in these (because the clock ticks) it seems like I should first buy a gun safe and any other accessories I would need to store a firearm, and have enough money saved up to purchase a firearm and some ammo, plus enough to cover membership fees, before I actually expect to get the PAL, so I can make the more use of it at the nearest range.

I am wondering, would it be better while I'm working on my CFSC to just buy an air rifle that I don't need a license for and begin training at a range with that? Then I could say in my application "I enjoy air rifle target shooting but gunpowder rifles look interesting too so I thought I would try them next".

Anyone have some advice on starting out with air guns (no license needed) and how to build good safety habits on storing/transporting? I want to get in the habit of locking up even an air gun (even if it is less lethal) to carry over to when I would need to get a transportation permit from police to visit a firing range with a gunpowder weapon.

Also do you guys ever meet guys to go hunting with at firing ranges? Or how do you strike up conversations at work or in bars to make hunting friends?

All the CFSC are cancelled due to wuflu right now but just do the course as soon as possible. At minimum it takes 3 months for your license to show up. Don't be a faggot and make sure you do the restricted too. They explain the storage and transportation rules.

Non restricteds just have to be unloaded to transport and locked when stored.

Restricteds need to be unloaded, locked and locked in a case when stored and transported and you must have a paper copy of the registration to transport.

You don't need a safe.

Don't buy a "budget" gun. Save up for something good and reputable

You don't need a range membership to shoot non restricteds. But a range member is a good spot to meet locals just ignore fuddlore.

Pellet guns are great for shooting practice but again don't cheap out

Start talking to anyone about it and say you want to get into it. Leafs are weird and hide that they own guns because they're afraid of lefty opinions, you'd be surprised how many people are into guns.
