RSVP to our next Restricted firearm safety course in Winnipeg, MB
Take a Canadian Restricted Firearm Safety Course to start the process of applying for your Restricted Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) to handle and own restricted firearms legally in Canada. Please keep in mind that most Restricted firearms are handguns, and as per 2020 there has been a freeze on the transfer of ownership of handguns in Canada. Restricted licenses may still be required for some occupations (security, props, etc).
This course is provided by the RCMP and administered by our trained Firearm Safety Instructors. You will learn how to handle, store, display, and transport restricted firearms safely, how to comply with federal firearms laws, and how to apply for your PAL should you wish to do so.
Upon completion of the course, students will be eligible to apply for their Restricted license. We will provide all documents and information needed.
