CRFSC — Canadian Restricted and Non-Restricted Firearm Safety Course Exam — Questions and Answers

Question 1: You are examining a cartridge and notice the primer is located in the center of the case head. What type of ammunition is this?

Caseless
Centerfire (Correct answer)
Pinfire
Rimfire

Correct answer: Centerfire

Modern ammunition is primarily categorized as either rimfire or centerfire. Centerfire ammunition has its primer located in a central pocket at the base of the cartridge case. Rimfire ammunition, by contrast, has the priming compound contained within the hollow rim of the cartridge.

Question 2: A restricted firearm being transported must have its ammunition:

Loaded in the magazine but not chambered
Stored separately from the firearm (Correct answer)
Secured in the same locked container as the firearm
Carried in the owner's pocket for quick access

Correct answer: Stored separately from the firearm

Ammunition must be stored separately from the restricted firearm during transport.

Question 3: Which of the following actions is required BEFORE handling any firearm?

Load the magazine to verify it fits
Engage the manual safety before doing anything else
Perform the Two-Step Action Check to confirm it is unloaded (Correct answer)
Point it in a safe direction and check the safety

Correct answer: Perform the Two-Step Action Check to confirm it is unloaded

The first action upon receiving or picking up a firearm is to perform the Two-Step Action Check to confirm it is unloaded.

Question 4: An owner with a restricted firearm arrives at their destination shooting range but it is closed. They should:

Return home with the firearm, which is permitted under the original ATT (Correct answer)
Leave the firearm in their locked car in the range parking lot and wait
Transport the firearm to a nearby open range if it is on the ATT
Transport the firearm to a gunsmith for safekeeping

Correct answer: Return home with the firearm, which is permitted under the original ATT

Returning home with the firearm is permitted under the original ATT when the destination is closed.

Question 5: A gun owner stores a non-restricted rifle unloaded in a hard-sided locked case. The key is kept in the same unlocked drawer as some rifle ammunition. Is this legally compliant?

No, because hard-sided cases are not approved storage containers
Yes, because the firearm itself is in a locked case
Yes, because the ammunition is in a separate drawer from the firearm
No, because the ammunition is accessible alongside the means to open the locked case (Correct answer)

Correct answer: No, because the ammunition is accessible alongside the means to open the locked case

If the key to the locked container is stored with accessible ammunition, the overall arrangement may be considered non-compliant because unauthorized access is too easy.

Question 6: When physically handing a firearm to another person, what is the correct procedure to ensure safety?

Keep the action closed but remove the magazine before handing it over.
PROVE it is unloaded yourself, then pass it with the action open and muzzle in a safe direction. (Correct answer)
Announce that it is loaded, point it upwards, and hand it over grip first.
Engage the safety, close the action, and pass the firearm carefully.

Correct answer: PROVE it is unloaded yourself, then pass it with the action open and muzzle in a safe direction.

The correct procedure is to first perform the PROVE procedure to confirm the firearm is unloaded. The firearm should then be passed with its action visibly open, so the receiver can also verify its state. Both individuals must ensure the muzzle is controlled and pointed in a safe direction throughout the transfer.

Question 7: A Canadian resident wants to take their restricted handgun to a shooting competition in the United States. What is the first step?

Contact U.S. Customs and Border Protection only
Apply for a temporary export permit from the RCMP
Obtain an Authorization to Transport AND comply with U.S. import requirements including ATF Form 6NIA (Correct answer)
Simply declare the firearm at the border with the Canadian registration certificate

Correct 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.

Question 8: You pick up an unfamiliar firearm. What is the FIRST action you should take?

Dry-fire it to assess the trigger pull
Verify the serial number against registration documents
Check whether it is loaded by opening the action (Correct answer)
Look down the barrel to check for obstructions

Correct answer: Check whether it is loaded by opening the action

The first action with any firearm is to treat it as loaded and immediately verify its status by opening the action and visually and physically checking for ammunition.

Question 9: Which of the following best describes a 'semi-automatic' action in a handgun?

The shooter must manually cycle the slide after each shot
Holding the trigger causes continuous fire until the magazine is empty
The trigger must be cocked manually before each shot
Each trigger pull fires one round and automatically chambers the next (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Each trigger pull fires one round and automatically chambers the next

A semi-automatic pistol uses energy from each fired cartridge to eject the spent case and chamber the next round, requiring a separate trigger pull for each shot.

Question 10: Before shooting, what must you identify beyond your target?

The wind direction and speed
What lies in the backstop and beyond in case of a miss or pass-through (Correct answer)
The approximate distance to the target
Whether other shooters are ready

Correct answer: What lies in the backstop and beyond in case of a miss or pass-through

You must identify what is beyond your target because a bullet can travel through or miss the target and injure people or property further away.

Question 11: What is the term for a condition where the bullet becomes lodged in the barrel without exiting after a cartridge fires?

Squib load (Correct answer)
Cook-off
Hangfire
Misfire

Correct answer: Squib load

A squib load occurs when insufficient propellant ignites, producing just enough pressure to push the bullet partway down the barrel where it lodges — firing another round behind it can destroy the firearm and injure the shooter.

Question 12: At an approved shooting range, a restricted handgun owner must ensure the firearm is handled in what manner while not actively shooting?

Stored in a locked case until the shooter's turn
Kept unloaded with the action open and pointed downrange or in a safe direction (Correct answer)
Holstered and loaded for quick access between relays
Left on the shooting bench unattended if the range is supervised

Correct 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.

Question 13: Which federal act primarily governs the classification of restricted and prohibited firearms in Canada?

The Criminal Code of Canada (Correct answer)
The Public Safety Act
The Firearms Act
The Safe Streets and Communities Act

Correct 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.

Question 14: What is the primary hazard of storing ammunition in a vehicle during hot summer weather?

Heat can cause cartridges to detonate inside the vehicle
Extreme heat degrades the brass causing cartridges to split (Correct answer)
Primers can separate from the case and fall out
The powder absorbs moisture and becomes inert

Correct answer: Extreme heat degrades the brass causing cartridges to split

Prolonged high heat weakens brass cases, causes propellant degradation, and can lead to misfires or case failure when the ammunition is later fired.

Question 15: In Canada, what does the term 'muzzle discipline' mean in a safe-handling context?

Keeping a cap on the muzzle during storage
Always keeping the muzzle pointed in the safest possible direction (Correct answer)
Using a suppressor to reduce muzzle blast
Cleaning the barrel after every use

Correct answer: Always keeping the muzzle pointed in the safest possible direction

Muzzle discipline means always controlling where the firearm is pointed so that an accidental discharge causes the least possible harm.

Question 16: An ATT for a restricted firearm is issued by:

The provincial government
The Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) of the province or territory (Correct answer)
The owner's shooting club
The RCMP detachment nearest to the owner's home

Correct answer: The Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) of the province or territory

The Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) of the relevant province or territory issues ATTs for restricted firearms.

Question 17: How does a gas-operated semi-automatic action cycle?

The shooter manually racks the slide after each fire
Propellant gas is tapped from the barrel to drive the bolt or piston rearward (Correct answer)
Recoil from the bullet directly pushes the bolt back
A motor winds the action spring after each shot

Correct answer: Propellant gas is tapped from the barrel to drive the bolt or piston rearward

Gas-operated actions bleed propellant gas through a port in the barrel to push a piston or bolt carrier rearward, compressing the recoil spring and cycling the action.

Question 18: A handgun registered in Canada is reported stolen. What must the owner do?

Report only to the local police; no firearms registry notification is required
Report the theft to police and to the Registrar of Firearms as soon as possible (Correct answer)
Only report to the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program
Wait to see if it is recovered before reporting

Correct answer: Report the theft to police and to the Registrar of Firearms as soon as possible

The law requires an owner to report the loss or theft of a registered restricted firearm to both police and the Registrar of Firearms promptly.

Question 19: What licence is required in Canada to possess a restricted firearm such as a handgun?

FAC (Firearms Acquisition Certificate)
RPAL (Restricted PAL) (Correct answer)
ATT only
PAL (Possession and Acquisition Licence)

Correct answer: RPAL (Restricted PAL)

The Restricted PAL (RPAL) is required to possess restricted firearms, including most handguns, in Canada.

Question 20: Which rule addresses the need to know what your bullet will do after it leaves the muzzle?

Know your target and what is beyond it (Correct answer)
Assume every firearm is always loaded
Control the muzzle direction at all times
Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot

Correct answer: Know your target and what is beyond it

The rule 'Know your target and what is beyond it' requires shooters to consider the full path a bullet may travel after leaving the muzzle.

Question 21: In the context of firing procedures, what is the primary purpose of 'follow-through'?

C) To maintain all marksmanship fundamentals for a moment after the shot is fired to ensure the bullet's path is not disturbed. (Correct answer)
A) To rapidly prepare for a second shot by immediately resetting the trigger.
D) To allow the shooter to begin breathing again immediately after the trigger is pulled.
B) To quickly look at the target to see where the shot landed.

Correct answer: C) To maintain all marksmanship fundamentals for a moment after the shot is fired to ensure the bullet's path is not disturbed.

Follow-through is the act of maintaining the shooting form—grip, stance, sight alignment, and trigger control—for a moment after the shot breaks. This ensures that no movement disrupts the firearm while the bullet is still traveling down the barrel, which is critical for accuracy.

Question 22: Why is it essential to keep a firearm pointed in a safe direction after a suspected misfire?

Because the trigger mechanism may be damaged and could fire unexpectedly
Because a hangfire could cause a delayed ignition and discharge (Correct answer)
To allow the barrel to cool down before handling
To prevent moisture from entering the action and barrel

Correct answer: Because a hangfire could cause a delayed ignition and discharge

A misfire could actually be a hangfire, where delayed ignition occurs seconds after the apparent failure to fire.

Question 23: A sporting shooter is found guilty of domestic assault. What is the most likely consequence regarding their firearm licence?

Their licence remains valid unless a judge specifically orders otherwise
Their licence is suspended for 90 days pending appeal
Their licence may be revoked and a prohibition order may be issued (Correct answer)
They receive a formal warning and must complete anger management training

Correct answer: Their licence may be revoked and a prohibition order may be issued

A criminal conviction for violence typically results in revocation of the PAL and may trigger a prohibition order under the Criminal Code.

Question 24: What does ACTS stand for in Canadian firearms safety?

Assume loaded, Control the muzzle, Trigger finger off, See your target (Correct answer)
Always, Check, Trigger, Secure
Assume, Check, Target, Secure
Aim, Control, Trigger, Safety

Correct answer: Assume loaded, Control the muzzle, Trigger finger off, See your target

ACTS stands for Assume the firearm is loaded, Control the muzzle direction, Trigger finger off the trigger, See your target and what's beyond.

Question 25: Under Canadian law, which of the following is the firearm owner's responsibility when allowing a minor (under 18) access to a non-restricted firearm for hunting?

The minor must have written parental consent filed with the local police
The minor must hold their own Minor's Licence (under-18 PAL) or be under direct adult supervision (Correct answer)
The minor must complete the CFSC course but does not need a licence for hunting
No special requirement; non-restricted firearms can be freely used by anyone on private land

Correct answer: The minor must hold their own Minor's Licence (under-18 PAL) or be under direct adult supervision

Minors may possess non-restricted firearms for hunting if they hold a Minor's Possession Licence or are under the direct and immediate supervision of a licence holder.

Question 26: Why should you never look down the barrel of a firearm to check if it is loaded?

The barrel is too dark to see anything useful
If the firearm discharges, the shooter would be directly in the path of the bullet (Correct answer)
It can scratch the bore's rifling and affect accuracy
It is only safe to do if the bolt is removed first

Correct answer: If the firearm discharges, the shooter would be directly in the path of the bullet

Looking down the barrel exposes your face directly to the muzzle; any unintended discharge would cause fatal injury.

Question 27: Regarding the transportation of ammunition for a restricted firearm, which statement is correct according to Canadian regulations?

Ammunition must be transported in a separate, locked container from the firearm.
Ammunition can be stored in the same locked case as the securely locked and unloaded firearm. (Correct answer)
Ammunition may be kept in the magazines as long as the magazines are not in the firearm.
Ammunition must be transported in a different vehicle than the firearm.

Correct answer: Ammunition can be stored in the same locked case as the securely locked and unloaded firearm.

While ammunition must be stored separately from the firearm for storage at home, during transportation, it is permissible to store the ammunition in the same locked, sturdy container as the unloaded and trigger-locked restricted firearm.

Question 28: Can a restricted firearm be transported across a provincial border?

Yes, if the owner notifies police 24 hours in advance
No, restricted firearms cannot cross provincial borders
Yes, but the ATT must be valid for transport in the destination province (Correct answer)
Yes, with no additional requirements if the owner has a PAL

Correct answer: Yes, but the ATT must be valid for transport in the destination province

Cross-provincial transport requires an ATT that is valid for the destination province or territory.

Question 29: What is the recommended storage arrangement if a household includes both children and firearms?

Teach children not to touch firearms and leave them accessible but unloaded
Store firearms in a high location that children cannot reach without a ladder
Keep firearms in a biometric safe so only adults can access them quickly
Store firearms locked and unloaded, with ammunition locked separately and out of children's reach (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Store firearms locked and unloaded, with ammunition locked separately and out of children's reach

Canadian safe storage regulations require firearms to be locked and unloaded, and best practice separates ammunition in a locked location inaccessible to children.

Question 30: In the context of safe storage, what does 'rendered inoperable' typically mean for a long gun?

Keeping the barrel detached from the stock
Removing the bolt or using a trigger lock (Correct answer)
Discharging all rounds before storage
Storing the ammunition in the same locked container

Correct answer: Removing the bolt or using a trigger lock

Rendering a firearm inoperable means disabling it so it cannot be fired, commonly done by removing the bolt or applying a trigger lock.

Question 31: When storing a restricted handgun in a locked safe that is specifically built for the secure storage of firearms, which of the following statements is correct according to regulations?

Ammunition for the handgun must be stored in a completely separate locked safe.
A secure locking device is not required if the safe meets regulatory standards. (Correct answer)
The handgun must be stored with a chamber flag inserted.
A secure locking device, such as a trigger lock, must be attached to the handgun.

Correct answer: A secure locking device is not required if the safe meets regulatory standards.

According to Canadian regulations, if a restricted firearm is stored in a vault, safe, or room that was specifically constructed or modified for the secure storage of firearms and is kept securely locked, it does not need to have a separate secure locking device (like a trigger lock) attached to it. The security of the safe itself meets the requirement.

Question 32: Under what condition may a chief firearms officer issue an Authorization to Carry (ATC) for a restricted handgun for personal protection?

Only in exceptional circumstances where conventional law enforcement protection is unavailable and life is at risk (Correct answer)
To any business owner who handles cash regularly
To rural residents who live more than 50 km from police services
To any resident who completes the CRFSC course

Correct answer: Only in exceptional circumstances where conventional law enforcement protection is unavailable and life is at risk

An ATC for personal protection is issued only in rare, documented cases where police protection is inadequate and the applicant faces an imminent and documented threat.

Question 33: Which course must be completed before applying for a Restricted PAL in Canada?

A provincial hunting licence course
CRFSC (Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course) in addition to CFSC (Correct answer)
Any online firearms course
CFSC (Canadian Firearms Safety Course) only

Correct answer: CRFSC (Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course) in addition to CFSC

Applicants must pass both the CFSC and the CRFSC before being eligible to apply for a Restricted PAL.

Question 34: On a semi-automatic rifle, the bolt carrier group fails to return fully to battery after firing. The most likely cause is:

The ejector is too long
Fouling, weak recoil spring, or an oversized cartridge base (Correct answer)
The magazine is empty
The firing pin is broken

Correct answer: Fouling, weak recoil spring, or an oversized cartridge base

Failure to return to battery is commonly caused by carbon fouling in the chamber, a worn recoil spring, or an out-of-spec cartridge preventing complete closing.

Question 35: What does the term 'action' refer to when describing a firearm?

The trigger pull weight required to fire the firearm
The legal classification of the firearm under the Criminal Code
The mechanical assembly that loads, fires, extracts, and ejects cartridges (Correct answer)
The speed at which the firearm cycles between shots

Correct answer: The mechanical assembly that loads, fires, extracts, and ejects cartridges

The action is the complete mechanical system — including the bolt, trigger group, extractor, and ejector — that performs the cycle of operations: feed, chamber, lock, fire, unlock, extract, and eject.

Question 36: Which of the following actions is required before handing any firearm to another person?

Point the muzzle downward and hand it over
Remove the magazine only
Engage the manual safety only
Clear and verify the firearm is unloaded (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Clear and verify the firearm is unloaded

You must always clear and visually/physically verify the firearm is unloaded before transferring it to anyone.

Question 37: What is 'muzzle rise' and what technique helps control it?

The movement of the front sight post during sight adjustment
The increase in muzzle velocity when using a longer barrel
The forward movement of the firearm during recoil
The upward movement of the muzzle during recoil, controlled by gripping firmly and using correct stance (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The upward movement of the muzzle during recoil, controlled by gripping firmly and using correct stance

Muzzle rise is the upward movement of the muzzle during recoil, which can be controlled with a firm grip, proper stance, and keeping the wrists locked.

Question 38: What action should you take if your firearm fails to fire after pulling the trigger (misfire)?

Shake the firearm to dislodge the round
Immediately open the action and discard the round
Keep the firearm pointed downrange for at least 30 seconds before opening the action (Correct answer)
Tap the back of the slide to seat the round further

Correct answer: Keep the firearm pointed downrange for at least 30 seconds before opening the action

A hangfire (delayed ignition) can occur, so keeping the firearm pointed downrange for 30 seconds before opening the action prevents injury from a late-firing round.

Question 39: Which of the following individuals would be INELIGIBLE to obtain a PAL under the Firearms Act?

A licensed hunter who relocated to a new province
A permanent resident with a valid work permit
A person who has completed the CFSC course
An individual with a recent court-ordered prohibition from possessing firearms (Correct answer)

Correct answer: An individual with a recent court-ordered prohibition from possessing firearms

An individual subject to a prohibition order from possessing firearms is ineligible to hold a PAL for the duration of that order.

Question 40: When a semi-automatic firearm is 'in battery,' this means:

The safety is engaged and the hammer is cocked
The firearm has been cleared and made safe
The magazine is seated and the chamber is loaded
The bolt or slide is fully forward and the firearm is ready to fire (Correct answer)

Correct answer: The bolt or slide is fully forward and the firearm is ready to fire

'In battery' specifically describes the condition where the bolt or slide has returned fully forward, closing the breech so the firearm can fire safely.

Question 41: Is keeping a loaded gun in storage permitted?

FALSE (Correct answer)
TRUE

Correct answer: FALSE

In Canada, the safe storage of firearms is strictly regulated to prevent accidental discharge and unauthorized access. It is explicitly prohibited to store a loaded firearm, whether restricted or non-restricted. Firearms must always be unloaded and stored securely to ensure public safety.

Question 42: In Canada, who must consent to a background check before a PAL is issued?

The applicant's employer
Two firearms-owning references
The applicant and their current or former spouse/common-law partner (Correct answer)
The applicant's family physician

Correct answer: The applicant and their current or former spouse/common-law partner

The PAL application requires consent for a background check that includes notification to the applicant's current or former spouse or common-law partner.

Question 43: What is the primary benefit of using a two-handed grip when firing a handgun?

It provides greater stability and recoil control for improved accuracy (Correct answer)
It is required by Canadian law for all handgun shooting
It allows the shooter to fire more rapidly
It prevents the slide from cycling and causing malfunctions

Correct answer: It provides greater stability and recoil control for improved accuracy

A two-handed grip significantly increases stability, manages recoil more effectively, and allows for faster target reacquisition after each shot.

Question 44: Under Canadian storage regulations, what is the difference in requirements between a non-restricted firearm and a restricted firearm during storage?

Restricted firearms may be stored loaded in some provinces; non-restricted may not
Non-restricted firearms must always be disassembled; restricted do not
There is no difference; all firearms have identical storage requirements
Restricted firearms require a locked container or locked room in addition to a trigger lock, while non-restricted have less strict requirements (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Restricted firearms require a locked container or locked room in addition to a trigger lock, while non-restricted have less strict requirements

Restricted firearms have stricter requirements, including being stored in a locked container or locked room and requiring a trigger lock, while non-restricted requirements vary based on ammunition accessibility.

Question 45: A shooting club member discovers a crack in the frame of their restricted handgun. They want to have it repaired. Which step is NOT required?

Keeping the firearm in a locked case during transport
Filing a temporary deactivation notice with the RCMP before transport (Correct answer)
Ensuring the firearm is unloaded during transport
Obtaining an ATT or using a licence condition to transport the firearm to the gunsmith

Correct answer: Filing a temporary deactivation notice with the RCMP before transport

There is no requirement to file a deactivation notice before transporting a restricted firearm for repair — an ATT (or licence condition), unloaded condition, and locked container are the relevant requirements.

Question 46: After removing the magazine and observing the chamber of a semi-automatic pistol, which of the following steps is essential to completing the PROVE procedure?

Pointing the firearm upwards and dry-firing it.
Wiping down the exterior of the slide.
Examining the bore for any obstructions. (Correct answer)
Re-inserting the empty magazine.

Correct answer: Examining the bore for any obstructions.

The 'E' in PROVE stands for 'Examine the bore.' This is the final step to ensure the barrel is clear of any obstructions, which could be dangerous if the firearm were to be fired. The full sequence is Point, Remove, Observe, Verify, and Examine.

Question 47: What is the purpose of the ejector in a semi-automatic firearm?

To remove live rounds from the magazine
To feed the next cartridge from the magazine
To lock the slide open after the last round
To strike the case and flip it clear of the action after extraction (Correct answer)

Correct answer: To strike the case and flip it clear of the action after extraction

The ejector is a fixed or spring-loaded component that strikes the base of the extracted cartridge case, kicking it out of the action.

Question 48: Which of the following represents a key ETHICAL (not strictly legal) responsibility for a firearms owner?

Renewing your Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) on time.
Avoiding any discussion or display of your firearms that could invite theft or cause alarm to others. (Correct answer)
Storing non-restricted firearms with a trigger lock.
Transporting a restricted firearm in a locked, opaque case.

Correct answer: Avoiding any discussion or display of your firearms that could invite theft or cause alarm to others.

While storage, licensing, and transport are legal requirements, a key ethical responsibility is exercising discretion. Advertising that you have firearms can make your home a target for theft. Being considerate of how non-firearm owners perceive firearms is part of being a responsible member of the community.

Question 49: What must a restricted firearm owner do when they acquire a new restricted firearm in Canada?

Notify local police immediately by phone
Notify their provincial firearms office within 30 days
Store it for 30 days before use
Register the firearm with the RCMP within a reasonable period after transfer (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Register the firearm with the RCMP within a reasonable period after transfer

New restricted firearm acquisitions must be registered through the Canadian Firearms Program to comply with the Firearms Act.

Question 50: What is the primary consideration when determining a 'safe direction' to point a firearm when not at a range?

Towards the ceiling, as it is generally unoccupied.
Towards a window, so the bullet exits the building without harm.
A direction where an accidental discharge will be stopped by a reliable backstop without causing injury or damage. (Correct answer)
Any direction as long as the safety is engaged.

Correct answer: A direction where an accidental discharge will be stopped by a reliable backstop without causing injury or damage.

A safe direction is one where a bullet would be safely stopped without harming anyone, considering potential penetration through walls, floors, and ceilings, as well as ricochets. This requires identifying a solid backstop, like a concrete wall in a basement or a specifically designed clearing box, not just an empty space.

Question 51: Which of the following best describes the fundamental marksmanship principle of 'sight alignment'?

C) The proper positioning of the front sight in relation to the rear sight. (Correct answer)
A) Placing the aligned sights onto the desired point of impact on the target.
B) The relationship between the dominant eye, the rear sight, and the target.
D) Focusing intently on the target just before squeezing the trigger.

Correct answer: C) The proper positioning of the front sight in relation to the rear sight.

Sight alignment is solely the relationship between the firearm's front and rear sights, independent of the target. The goal is to have the top of the front sight level with the top of the rear sight, with an equal amount of light on both sides of the front sight post.

Question 52: Under Canadian law, who may borrow a restricted firearm?

Only police officers
Anyone with a PAL, regardless of the firearm class
Only a person who holds a valid RPAL and is under the supervision of the owner (Correct answer)
Any Canadian citizen aged 18+

Correct answer: Only a person who holds a valid RPAL and is under the supervision of the owner

A restricted firearm may only be borrowed by someone who holds the appropriate RPAL and is under the direct supervision of the registered owner.
