It appears the new Alberta CFO is not so willing to make the membership requirement so stringent, but all it takes is her to be replaced by a less amiable pawn and the games will change. Remember this when election time rolls around, the CFO is a provincial appointee now.

The federal legislation allows the CFO to attach conditions to a license or transfer, but the federal legislation does not specify that it is mandatory to have a range membership to own a restricted firearm. When a CFO requires a range membership, it is because that CFO chose to impose that condition, not because the federal legislation requires it. The new CFO seems more concerned with complying with the federal regulations rather than in imposing her own desires on firearms owners, as past CFOs did.
