CRFSC Practice Exam – Complete Guide for Canadian Firearm Safety

A common type of non-restricted firearm is a rifle. In Canada, non-restricted firearms are typically firearms that are not classified as restricted or prohibited and usually include many types of rifles and shotguns that have a barrel over a certain length and are not designed for rapid fire.

Rifles, which can be used for various purposes including hunting and sport shooting, fit within the definition of non-restricted firearms due to their typical design and uses. On the other hand, pistols are classified as restricted firearms, and machine guns and automatic rifles are categorized as prohibited firearms under Canadian law. Therefore, the classification of rifles as non-restricted makes them a fundamental component of firearm ownership in Canada, suitable for many recreational and sporting activities.
