  1. Which federal act primarily governs the classification of restricted and prohibited firearms in Canada?

    Answer: The Criminal Code of Canada

    The classification of restricted and prohibited firearms is set out in the Criminal Code of Canada, while licencing and registration are governed by the Firearms Act.

  2. A restricted handgun owner moves to a new address. What must they do?

    Answer: Notify the Chief Firearms Officer of the new province or the RCMP within 30 days

    Firearm owners must notify the appropriate authority of an address change; failing to do so can affect licence validity.

  3. At an approved shooting range, a restricted handgun owner must ensure the firearm is handled in what manner while not actively shooting?

    Answer: Kept unloaded with the action open and pointed downrange or in a safe direction

    Range safety rules and safe handling practices require a firearm not in immediate use to be unloaded with the action open and oriented safely.

  4. Which of the following is a valid 'approved purpose' under the Firearms Act that allows a restricted firearm to be used?

    Answer: Target shooting at an approved range and collecting

    The Firearms Act lists target shooting at approved ranges and collecting as the lawful purposes for which a person may possess a restricted firearm.

  5. How must a restricted handgun be rendered safe before being placed in a transport case?

    Answer: Magazine removed, chamber cleared, action open

    Proper safe condition for transport requires removing the magazine, clearing the chamber, and verifying the firearm is unloaded.

  6. A Canadian resident wants to take their restricted handgun to a shooting competition in the United States. What is the first step?

    Answer: Obtain an Authorization to Transport AND comply with U.S. import requirements including ATF Form 6NIA

    Exporting a restricted firearm from Canada requires an ATT for the Canadian side, and the U.S. requires a completed ATF Form 6NIA for temporary importation by a non-resident.

  7. What happens to a restricted firearm licence if the holder's licence expires and is not renewed?

    Answer: The holder becomes unlicenced and cannot legally possess the restricted firearm

    Without a valid PAL, a person is not authorized to possess a restricted firearm and is in violation of federal law.
