May 1st - New Firearms Regulations

By now you probably have all heard about the new firearms regulations that have been brought into effect by the Federal Government. I am not here to comment on the regulations but rather to inform our members on how the BCRA is responding to these regulations. As a Provincial Association we are working with the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association in a consolidated response, as this affects all shooting disciplines from coast to coast. I have attached the latest Bulletin from the DCRA as well as a PDF of the regulations. As things evolve I will try to keep you all informed. Remember that these regulations affect us all regardless of the discipline we have chosen to pursue.
Peter Dobell
President
