You may ask why anyone would still want to get a 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞? Even if you can not or don’t want to own a restricted firearm. This is a question we commonly get, so let’s answer it!

𝙇𝙖𝙬𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙀𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙮𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 -There are many professions out there such as law enforcement, corrections, the military, or even security where having your restricted possession and acquisition licence (RPAL) is a job requirement or, a huge asset on your resume.

𝙇𝙖𝙬𝙨 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 - Fi****ms law in Canada is constantly changing, what is the case today with such things as a handgun freeze, may not be the case tomorrow.

𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 - As was the case on May 1st 2020, when an Order-in-Council reclassified over 1500 types of fi****ms from the non-restricted/restricted class to the prohibited class, and many subsequent additions to that list.

𝙄𝙛 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙙, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙗𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 - If the government was to come out and move all semi-automatic fi****ms into the restricted class (including your semi-automatic .22LR), and you already have your RPAL, the process to keep it is much easier.

Governments in both Australia and New Zealand have done this, it is not farfetched to think it could happen here. If you only have your non-restricted PAL, you will be in line behind over 1 million other Canadians simultaneously trying to upgrade. This will create long lines to access the course and even longer lines to upgrade your licence.

𝙄𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙝 𝙣𝙤𝙣-𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 - You only go through the process once, instead of twice. This reduces headaches for you.

If you have any questions, please reach out! We are always happy to talk.
