I agree with his description pretty much except that it isn't the "nearest"
range, it is the range named on your transport permit. If you want to bring
it to a smith or go to a different range then, take time off work to get
more 'paper' on a face-to-face meeting with a firearms officer.
If only my vote counted, they'd be gone . . .

And our Prime Minister has decided that he wants to ban all handguns in
Canada ( with few exceptions ).

Robert:
One of your fellow Canadian says it best in his response to the proposed Ban
found on this same site:
"Like many other Canadians, I legally own a handgun, which I shoot
recreationally at an approved firing range. As I was listening to Paul
Martin's proposed ban on handguns this morning, it occurred to me that he
might not understand the already heavy restrictions placed upon handgun
ownership in Canada.
So, in order to clarify, I thought I would write and explain the steps I
have to go through in order to use my firearm:
1) I go to my gun safe, where I am legally required to store the gun,
unloaded.
2) I key in the combination to open the safe.
3) I confirm that the handgun is secured and rendered inoperable by a
legally required trigger lock.
4) I transfer the handgun into a lockable carry case.
5) I lock the case, as I am legally required to do.
6) I confirm that I have the registration certificate for the firearm on my
person.
7) I confirm that my Possession and Acquisition License for restricted
firearms is on my person.
8) I confirm that I have a valid, federally issued, authorization to
transport my firearm.
9) I take the locked case to my vehicle, and lock it in the trunk, as I am
legally required to do.
10) I drive my vehicle, without stopping, and by the most direct route, to
the nearest approved firing range, as I am legally required to do.
11) When I am finished shooting at the range I take the gun directly
home,and lock it back in the safe, as I am legally required to do.
Perhaps Mr. Martin would be so kind as to explain something for me. How does
further restricting my liberty to own and use a handgun solve the problem of
gun violence in the socially disadvantaged Jane and Finch area of Toronto?"
