So...apparently at some point in the not too distant past I actually desired to own a firearm and seem to have taken a course enabling me to aquire said firearm. I say "apparently" because it has been so long that its faded from memory.

BUT, in the mail today was a crisp new card enabling me to purchase finally!!

So my timeline was:
March 20,21 PAL/RPAL course
Month later got my paperwork and submitted within the week
The system said application received on May 12 (I only got that info in June)
My application was processed around July 1, then they told me i could have references call in.
July 3 - reference called and had 10 minute interview.
30 minutes later - online system showed license issued.
License in mail July 13.

Fun=imminent. This was southern ontario for the record.

So here's what I'm thinking for first purchases:

Walther PPX 9mm (IWI 941 is second choice)
Maverick 88 Field
Remmington 783 (was hoping for .308 but might need to settle for smaller)
Norinco CQ-B AR
10-22 of some sort for my tacticool build

(these are all pretty cheap but my thought is try a low end version and get some exposure and upgrade as able as it seems like the resale on these is pretty decent)
