Hello everyone.

Well Im new to this and this looks like a good way to get some info. I used to hunt rabbits and small critters as kid but actually havent shot a gun in over 20 years. The new inlaws want me to start hunting with them and I said sure! Now, where do I start is the question. They have no idea as they are Native and dont know the rules that govern me, whitie :lol: . So hear I am. How do I get started? Licenses or courses I need to obtain a firearm? Compulsorary hunting course? Put it this way, Im brand friggin new so please speek in laymans if ya can. Thanks again.

Individuals who wish to acquire restricted firearms must also take the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC) and pass the tests or challenge and pass the CRFSC tests without taking the course.

You will need to take the CFSC Firearms course for a Firearms licence and the CORE course to obtain a resident hunting licence in BC.
