Yep, the paperwork isn't all that hard.
And once the in's n out's of the system are learned, the rest of it is easy, just a PITA.
Carry the license, it has the conditions, PAL, RPAL, PPAL (if you have such a thing, lucky!)
I carry photocopies of each reg, in each case. That way opening one case has all the paperwork for the rest of the cases. Same with the ATT.
Plus a copy of each goes into the glove box. That way my transport also has a copy, so I don't need to dive into a case, should I be asked.
Of course, copies of each are in the safe at home. Plus in the safety deposit box at the bank with all my other valuable paperwork.
I second doing the course at Proline in Inglewood. The instructors are usually from Edmonton. They are awesome. The course used to be run once/twice a month. PAL on Saturday, RPAL on Sunday. A decent way to spend a weekend. Cover thy butt, get both. Makes it easier should you want to use the other half of your license.
When I did mine, the PAL was in the morning, and the RPAL was in the afternoon. They run a short challenge-based course as well.
Though, I'm looking at getting a membership down at the new range,
www.theshootingcentre.com . Their video range looks pretty darn cool. Plus, satisfies the other half of the RPAL condition of "recreational target shooting".
I don't mind the restricted portion on handguns, it makes sense, they've been heavily documented for a long time. The part I disagree with is the emotional, non-scientific basis for long guns to be restricted. That part angers me. Plus, civilians, in this country, do not need full rock and roll. Though fun, completely non-practicle.
