LRGC Bulletin - URGENT!

Urgent Request to ALL Members!

Handgun and Rifle Ban - they want to confiscate our legal property!

You thought it would never happen - now they moving to do it!

In late August of this year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a mandate letter for Bill Blair.

For those of you not familiar with Blair, he’s the ex-Toronto cop turned Member of Parliament who was recently appointed to a brand new Ministry and given the title “Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Prevention”.

His job, primarily, is to assist in ensuring Bill C-71 gets passed AND to “lead an examination of a national ban on handguns and assault weapons, while not impeding their lawful use by Canadians” – there’s an oxy-moron if there ever was one!
(BTW - their definition of an "assault weapon" is any semi-auto!)

What does this examination look like? Well, shortly after his orders came down from on high, Blair stood in committee and promised to conduct a full and balanced “public consultation” before the end of the calendar year.

Here is your "public consultation"!

Please MAKE time to fill out this online survey right away and forward it to your friends and family to do the same. Please do it NOW - before you forget - survey closes Nov 10!

Direct Survey link: https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/cnslttns/hndgn/index-en.aspx

DO NOT IGNORE THIS REQUEST - IT MAY BE THE LAST CHANCE YOU GET TO SEE YOUR FIREARMS! (YOU KNOW OUR LONG GUNS WILL BE NEXT!)

You know that the "gun-control" advocates will be hard at work getting the common uninformed person to complete this survey based on fear and ignorance - so we need to counter that effort!

WE NEED EVERY LRGC MEMBER AND MORE TO COMPLETE THIS SURVEY!
PLEASE FILL IN THE SURVEY AND GET EVERYONE YOU CAN TO DO SO TOO - ASAP!  

Please do this NOW!

Your LRGC Board!

  Notice - New Membership Policy 

starting June 1, 2018

All new and renewing members, and any guests utilizing any outdoor range (archery included)
will be required to read and sign a "Shooter's Agreement" indicating that they have read, understood, and will abide by all firearm safety and club rules.  This will require approximately 15 minutes prior to receiving your new membership card, renewal sticker or guest day pass (or you may download, review and bring the signed form with you - go to "membership" tab to download). It is intended that this process will be required only once (unless unforeseen major rule changes are forthcoming).  Your signed form will be recorded in the LRGC database once received. It should be noted that this is already standard policy for all indoor range users, and is now being expanded to include outdoor range users. Note that those individuals using both indoor and outdoor facilities will be required to sign bothindoor and outdoor "Shooter's Agreements" as they are quite different! 
Thanks for your cooperation!

Your LRGC Board at work trying hard
to make all our club ranges safe!

(Note: As always - any and all comments regarding club policy should be directed to the Board or planning@lrgc.com
and not the office staff!)
