FIREARM COURSES

There are two classes of Firearms licenses: Non-restricted and Restricted which are available to civilians. To possess a firearm license with both privileges, you must take Canadian Firearms Safety Course (Non-Restricted) and Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (Restricted) course and must pass exams for each class with at least 80% mark. We offer courses for both the firearms classes and exams can be challenged in class after completion of the course on the same day.

Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC/Non-Restricted):

 

This course is an introductory level course and provides license holders privileges of the non-restricted class of firearms. Non-restricted firearms are primarily manual repeating long guns: Rifles and Shotguns. Some semi-automatic center fire long guns also fall in the non-restricted class provided their barrel is greater than 470mm (18.5 inches) in length.

Topics covered in the Canadian Firearms Safety Course:

  • Major types, parts and actions of firearms.
  • Basic firearms safety practices

Majority of the handguns and semi-automatic rifles in Canada can be classified as restricted firearms if they are centerfire semi-automatic firearms with a barrel length greater than 105mm (4.1 inches) unless otherwise classified by RCMP.
