✍️ Sample CRFSC Questions & Answers

1. A firearm owner wants to lend their non-restricted rifle to a friend for a hunting trip. What legal requirement must be met?

✓ The friend must hold a valid PAL that authorizes possession of that class of firearm

The borrower must hold a valid PAL authorizing possession of that firearm class, as they will be in possession of the firearm.

2. When verifying a semi-automatic restricted handgun is unloaded, what is the correct final step of the PROVE procedure?

✓ Examine the chamber, receiver and magazine well

The PROVE acronym ends with Examine the chamber, receiver, and magazine well to confirm no cartridges remain — this is the definitive check.

3. A licensed collector wishes to display a restricted handgun at a firearm show. Which authorization is required?

✓ An Authorization to Transport to and from the show venue

Transporting a restricted firearm to a gun show requires an ATT or an applicable licence condition, just like any other transport of a restricted firearm.

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

✓ 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.

5. Under Canadian law, for what purpose may a restricted firearm be lawfully transported WITHOUT an Authorization to Transport (ATT)?

✓ Travelling directly to and from an approved shooting club or range

In many provinces, ATTs are built into the PAL conditions for direct transport between the owner's home and an approved range.

6. A non-restricted firearm owner moves to a new address. What is their legal obligation under the Firearms Act?

✓ Notify the Canadian Firearms Program of the address change within 30 days

Licence holders must notify the Canadian Firearms Program of an address change within 30 days to keep their licence records current.
