|Pre-requisite: none

- Learning Structure: Combined lecture and hands-on training

This course is required to be able to buy and own any non-restricted firearms for any legally recognized purpose in Canada.
You will be instructed in their safe handling, including the legal requirements of transporting, storage, and display of non-restricted firearms.
The CFSC courses will be held in Unit 21, Upper Floor, 1110 Birchmount Road, Scarborough, ON
The class size is limited to 10 people, so that everyone gets enough time handling the firearms and becoming familiar with them. The course will have both theory and practical handling of disabled firearms (real guns, but unable to fire).
Class will start at 8am Saturday morning, and will cover the non-restricted firearm group; rifles and shotguns of all popular action types.
Blackpowder firearms will be discussed, but not handled. There will be several handling portions where everyone in turn gets to handle and learn the different types of action. The course will have written and practical testing; the practical testing is required to be one-on-one with the examiner, so the order in which people finish the written test is the order in which the practical tests are done. This will mean, on average, that the day can stretch to around 7pm, depending on student testing ability.
