Canadian Firearms Safety Course

CANADIAN FIREARM SAFETY COURSES

When there is enough interest the Lethbridge Fish and Game Association, in conjunction with the Southern Alberta Firearms Education (SAFE) Society will offer the CANADIAN FIREARM SAFETY COURSE.

Why should you take this course? Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to apply for a Possession and Acquisition license. A Possession and Acquisition license allows you to legally own firearms and purchase additional firearms. The types of firearms that you can purchase depends on whether you have completed just the Non-Restricted (rifles and shotguns of normal length) course or whether you have also completed the Restricted (shorter barrel/overall length rifles and shotguns and normal length handguns) course. Due to high levels of demand we re now recommending two PAL/RPAl Instructors. Both these instructors are active in our community and provide excellent courses. Arranged in alphabetical order.

There are Currently Two LFGA Members offering PAL & RPAL courses. See details below.

Allan Friesen. The cost of the Non-Restricted course is $120. The additional cost of the Restricted course is $100. You may register for and take both courses for a total curse fee of $220.

Interested in Firearm safety courses? My non-restricted course is $150. The non-restricted courses are run monthly on the 3rd Saturday (Except for December). The restricted course is $120. and will only be offered 3 times in 2024 on a Sunday following the non-restricted course. I hold these courses in the classroom at the LFGA Shooting Sports Facility (the Range) down in Peenaquim Park. If the weather allows, we will hold these courses outside to incorporate safe practices… and feel the sun on our face and fresh air in our lungs.

With the current legal wranglings regarding handguns, should you take the restricted course? There are still firearms that can only be obtained by the holder of a restricted license. So there is still an advantage.
