Canadian Firearm owners only please?

Saskatchewan, Canada – handgun acquisition.

Here goes – I would like to own a handgun for target shooting. All I do know is that our handgun laws are very stringent.

1) what are the basic requirements to purchase a handgun in Saskatchewan?

2) can one be imported legally from the USA? A buddy in North Dakota has a legally registered pistol for sale.

3) can I shoot targets on a private farm?

4) are there gun ranges where I can fire this gun?

5) what are the storage requirements? I have a small safe in the house. Would that be acceptable?
I used to hunt in Ontario decades ago. I gave up all my rifles at that time. I just wish to do some recreational pistol shooting.

I don’t know about Sask. specifics but I know the details that are common in all provinces:

1: You need an RPAL permit. To get that you need to pass a background check, take some safety courses, and pay a fee. When you’re done that you need to wait a few weeks/months for your permit to be processed and delivered. Every time you buy a handgun you need to fill out a bit more paperwork, apply for an Authorization to Transport, and wait.

2: Yes, but to personally import it is way too much hassle. Contact http://www.questar.ca/ for more information, they’ll even import firearms for you.

3: No, absolutely not. A handgun is a restricted-class weapon and can only be fired at a licensed gun range.

4: Yes, but since the government requires everyone with a handgun to only shoot at ranges the memberships run pretty high. Here in Ontario $300/year is considered cheap.

5: You have to keep a handgun unloaded at all times unless you’re on a range. You can keep it in your safe, unloaded, and that’ll be fine. Since it’s a safe you can ever keep loaded magazines right next to it for ease of storage. If you want to store a handgun in a gun cabinet it must be unloaded AND locked in some way, whether it be with a trigger lock, cable lock, or something else of the sort, and the cabinet must be locked. I forgot the procedure for keeping a handgun on display, but I’m pretty sure it can be done with enough locks.

Like was already suggested, it’s best to contact someone in Sask. Strangely, the CFO is not the best person to talk to. They’re not known to have the best grasp of the actual laws and are often downright wrong. Talk to someone at your local friendly gun range and they should be able to walk you through the licensing and get you on your way.

Smith & Wesson Handgun Safes

Regulations For Installing Gun Safes

If you keep a firearm, whether it is a handgun, a rifle or a shot gun then the law states that it is your responsibility to ensure that it is kept in a safe place, preferably a gun safe or cabinet. A safe or cabinet that is used for storing any kind of firearm must conform to British Standards 7558(1992).

Gun safes and cabinets should be securely attached to a hard surface, and it should not be possible to remove the fixing bolt with a force less than 2kN. Gun safes or cabinets should always be kept locked with at least one secure lock; alternatively a pre-hardened close shackle padlock of no less than 1,000 differs should be used. Gun safes or cabinets should be stored in a secure, preferably concealed place and a garage or outhouse is not really suited to the purpose. You should only use safes and cabinets that meet the British Standard mentioned above to store firearms. Other cabinets may be allowed but they have to be examined by a firearms enquiry officer who will decide whether or not they are suitable.

Handguns

Handguns come under section 5 of the firearms act and as such it is illegal to own one in the UK unless you have an exemption certificate granting permission to possess a handgun. If you own a handgun then it should be kept in a gun cabinet or secure cabinet made from steel.

Shotguns

If you keep a shotgun then ideally it should be stored in a dedicated gun cabinet, however, if a gun cabinet is not available then some other approved method of storage should be used. Alternative storage should conform to specified safety measures and similar security to a gun cabinet. This can be in a substantial locked cupboard or it should be secured to a wall with a chain or wire hawser and this should also be locked.

Rifles

Rifles need to be stored in a dedicated gun cabinet or in a special gun room that has adequately secured doors and windows. The rifle bolts should be stored separately from the rifle and in a similar container. The bolt container may be a part of the gun cabinet providing it has its own separate locking system. Ammunition should always be stored separately in a ventilated box and then a locked container. Again this can be part of the main cabinet but should be locked separately.

General Safety Concerns

If you keep several guns then you really should consider installing an intruder alarms system that conforms to British Standards 4737.

All of the external doors to premises where guns are kept should be secured with five lever mortice locks. If you live in a high risk area or in premises such as a shared house or block of flats then you should not keep guns there. Firearms should be stored away from the area at an armoury or with a firearms dealer. If you are a gun collector then you should not keep them on open display.
