Important Information

There are two firearms courses you can take

To own or buy most Rifles and Shotguns you need a licence with Non Restricted privileges. Before applying you need to take the Canadian Firearms Safety Course.
To own or buy Handguns you need a licence with Restricted privileges. Before applying you need to take the above course plus the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course.
