Canadians have different reasons for wanting to own a firearm. Whether it's to hunt for food, to shoot for sport, to protect one's family... And despite how impossibly difficult our government tries to make it, here are 3 reasons why you SHOULD get your RPAL (Restricted Possession and Acquisition License) in 2024.

Yeah, and I voted for JT in 2015 because he ran on a platform of eliminating "First past the post" elections so we could have a REAL democracy. Well that never happened. PP will rah-rah about Liberal gun bans so he can get votes, then once he gets your votes, he'll 180 on it so he can endear himself to urban Ontarians which is why C-21 exists in the first place.

@simongilchrist3329 Месяц назад

Get your RPAL while you still can, even if you never plan to own a gun. Circumstances change, both personal and political, and you may one day need a firearm. I think a conservative win may be a firearms owner win but Trudeau should have taught you that urban politicians making rules around firearms is a recipe for disaster. As long as your criminal background check is clean, you should be fine. I regret letting mine lapse. Lost out (temporarily, I hope) on the chance to get a pistol or AR15. Got it activated now and I’m making up for lost time. I’m fortunate enough to live on a large rural property where I can legal shoot in my own yard, and I’m loving that.

While the number of options has certainly diminished, there are still some restricted long guns you can get with an RPAL. Politically, the more RPAL owners, the more potential sway we may have in terms of political will. For example, there are 2.3 million licensed firearms owners...a complete handgun ban would be harder to "sell" if 80% of us were RPAL holders vs. only 10%. I have always said, get it now while you still can.

@gregl2459 Месяц назад

Also if you do own restricted firearms and you are living with a partner he or she should also have their RPAL whenever restricted firearms are present in the dwelling where you both live. As a RPAL licence holder you can write a letter for your common law or spouse to say these restricted firearms are on loan to he or she so they can take them to the range as well provided they have the RPAL licence.

@canadianoperator Месяц назад

This is a great point. More to that, if police ever question whether your spouse has access to the firearms and the answer is yes but they don’t have a license, you’re in BIG trouble. Of course, that begs the question, do you even talk to the police? To which the answer is no, no you don’t, never, for any reason. :)

@gregl2459 Месяц назад

@@canadianoperator that was one of the points I was trying to make but ran out of time to make my comment. Also on the same post I made earlier I was told that the letter you write for your spouse to borrow said restricted firearms you don’t have to put a time limit on the letter or as to basically loan them out to your spouse indefinitely so if any problems arise those firearms would be on loan to him or her until you pass away. There are a few loopholes that exist I’d suggest getting Firearm Legal Defence Insurance I have it because the laws are changing all the time! CYA

@@gregl2459This letter business would really not help you with respect to restricted firearms. That’s because they are registered. So if you wanted to have paperwork showing you loaned them to your spouse, you’d need to have a borrowing permit, even if it’s for the same address. It would be the only official recognized documentation to prove that your partner is allowed to be in possession of those firearms.

SBR, not AR. For us that means any rifle with a barrel shorter than 18.5” - which the vast majority of ARs from the US not specifically made for the Canadian market are. Standard barrel lengths in the US range from 14-16”. Both would be considered restricted here because of their barrel length.

@canadianoperator 16 дней назад

I don’t think there is any difference between whether the person has a business or individual license. You can obtain a borrowing and temporary storage permit and BORROW the gun. To rent implies you’re paying to borrow it it from a stranger (business) which I don’t think is what this process is intended for. The only time you’re renting a gun is when you’re at the premises of a range that rents it to you for the duration of your stay at the range. For that, an ATT or TSP is not required as the firearm is not moving off the property.

@canadianoperator Месяц назад

Have to disagree here. Despite the current legislation, handguns and the RPAL are not useless. It only depends on your use case and whether it’s practical for you. The RCMP can’t just show up and search your property. They need either reasonable grounds to believe you are a danger to someone, which would have had to have been reported, or a search warrant. In both cases, they’d need to be able to articulate why they wanted to search. Lastly, if you use any firearm to defend your home you are liable under the law based on interpretation of section 33/34 by a judge. That has nothing to do with whether you have an RPAL or not.

@@canadianoperator If you have handguns, they can inspect your storage facilities anytime, they cannot search your whole house unless your handgun is not locked up(then they will have that warrant in seconds) Either way, any gun that can only be fired at a range is useless.

@stefanocappella9612 Месяц назад

In alberta my friends are told they can't even get the restricted now. I have mine.😊

@canadianoperator Месяц назад

This is not true. :) you can still get your RPAL no matter where you are in Canada, so long as you can find a place to take the course. If the course is not being offered, that would be the reason. But the licensing system is federal, and all applications go to the same place for processing.

@Thomas-dz4eg Месяц назад

Get your RPAL! It may take a little longer for the restricted portion, due to the lack of demand right now. lts taking longer for our local instructor to fill the restricted classes. But if you are willing to travel, you can probably get into a class sooner!

@canadianoperator Месяц назад

I would think it would be faster and easier since the demand is low. But I do agree that willingness to travel, even an hour or so, can really help. I did mine near Hamilton and I was able to schedule a class within 2-3 weeks of requesting a spot.

After trying to book at a friend's course location I was told they're booked till October. This was in April 2024. Found the RCMP website and was able to book both pals at the beginning of May. Have since sent in application and waiting patiently for my licence to arrive. I decided to go ahead and try for the same reasons you mentioned. Life for legal firearms owners will hopefully look roseier for the future.

Not to mention if they change rules..if you have a RPAL they may have some sort of Grandfathering clause?

@canadianoperator Месяц назад

Well, in a way that’s what happened to handguns. With the current law you’re expected to surrender them when you die (of course without compensation) and you can’t get new ones, but you can use what you have.

@TheSoab117 Месяц назад

Also when borrowing your friend's gun, you fill an ATT so they know where it is in that specific period and then do you also meed to file an ATT each time you go to the range also?

@canadianoperator Месяц назад

The thing that tells them where the gun is, is actually the borrowing permit. That is what can last up to 6 months. The ATT is required for getting the firearm from their place to yours and back. The ATT required for bringing their firearm from your place to the range is covered by your RPAL itself. And you should always carry all 3 of these documents with you when transporting the firearm.

@Swisba Месяц назад

RPALs are useless unless you have access to a range and a membership, which is near impossible to get unless you know somebody. I’ve tried in 3 different provinces and the wait times for range memberships was probably longer than to get a license. Not to mention the restricted category includes many rifles that are clearly non restricted. It’s a matter of principle to not own registered firearms. I wasn’t adult durring the time when registration was brought in for non restricted but I’ll never own or register a firearm myself.

@canadianoperator Месяц назад

I disagree. Wilderness protection, pest management, hunting, recreational shooting, competitive shooting… many reasons to have a PAL. The reason there are waiting times to join ranges and clubs is because they’re in demand. I waited 9 months to join one, and 6 to join another. That’s not bad at all. So, just because your experience didn’t lend itself to being practical, doesn’t mean that RPALs are useless.

@Swisba Месяц назад

@@canadianoperator it’s literally for recreational shooting only. I’m only talking about RPAL and yes it is useless, and a waste of money. People with RPALs are the same people who would shrug their shoulders at another non restricted registry. You’re ok with registering your ar15 why not your savage BA or your mosberg shotgun? Just ready to jump through another one of their hoops.

"Unlike our American neighbours to the south, we don't have a right to own them. I think we should" My rights come from God and not from government. I may be thrown in jail, by a tyrant government, for asserting my rights but I still have the right none the less. Since the Charter of Rights and Freedoms Preamble states: "Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law." and since they cannot show me a document, signed by God, that grants them authority over me and the rights given to me by God, then they are my equal, not my master.

@canadianoperator Месяц назад

To be frank, rights, at least the way we understand them, don’t actually exist. If a”God” wanted you to have them, you would. And they’d be actual rights and not temporary privileges, because rights can’t be arbitrarily taken away.
