Great to hear some good news these days! After being denied as a club, the Montreal guys won their appeal. Congrats to the Concordia team (@cussa_mtl) for their well deserved reinstatement 🎉

As per their Facebook post:

Hello Everyone!
It's been a tumultuous time for both our club, sports shooters, and Canadians in general, but we would have some good news to share! As some of you may know, we launched an internal challenge with the CSU judicial board over our club status. The verdict was rendered on May 1st 2020. The result of this challenge was that CUSSA has been officially recognized as a CSU club. In other words: We Won!!! That means we will have more funding and opportunities to bring you more awesome CUSSA events in the coming months. As everybody knows, as part of the Quebec government’s COVID re-opening plan, outdoor shooting ranges are now allowed to operate. However, due to restrictions on space and new distancing protocols, many do not allow unlicensed guests to be present. We are keeping a close eye on the situation and are working to create an event as soon as it is both safe and possible to do so while following all the proper social distancing guidelines.

OIC BANNED FIREARM

In 2015 the SIG MCX was introduced at the world famous SHOT Show in Las Vegas. This firearms has a short-stroke gas operated action with a closed, rotating bolt which provided increased safety for the user. In January of 2019 it was announced that Saskatchewan's Ministry of Environment would train conservation officers with this firearm.

The features on this firearm classify it as a modern sporting style rifle, a common designation for any semi-automatic produced after World War Two and intended for the civilian market. With a maximum magazine capacity of 5, like all semi-autos in Canada, this rifle is similar to many others that have been produced in the last 70 years.

OIC BANNED FIREARM

One relic of the past has a new purpose in today's society and that is the Springfield M14. Since it's retirement from service in 1968, it has become an iconic piece of American history, and is used in ceremonial services every year.

This firearm is an example of a great subject for education for both firearms safety and American history in the 20th century.

Today the Springfield M14 is used in sport shooting, in services to honour fallen soldiers and is officially considered to be a ceremonial firearm.

OIC BANNED FIREARM

The Beretta Cx4 Storm was and still is produced in Italy from 2003. It is a firearm that was specifically designed with sport shooters in mind, it can accommodate both right and left handed shooters.

It is chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum and combined with it's ergonomic and lightweight design it is a very effective paper hole puncher. Many target shooters could be found at their local gun club seeing if they could shoot a better score than their friends with this firearm.

This firearm is common in many competitions that utilize pistol caliber carbines. The CUSF opposes the prohibition on sporting firearms in Canada.

OIC BANNED FIREARM The CZ Scorpion is functionall

OIC BANNED FIREARM
The CZ Scorpion is functionally no different than many other guns which are non-restricted and were not targeted. Let's take a look at this firearm in further detail by understanding how firearms and ammunition are named and why. For example, this CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Carbine chambered in 9mm:

The CZ stands for the company that produced the firearm, Česká zbrojovka a.s. Uherský Brod. This Czech owned company specializes in the manufacturing of firearms with the purpose of hunting and sporting needs

EVO 3 indicates that this firearm is the third iteration of this firearm produced by the company. The S1 Carbine designation tells us that it is a semi-automatic, carbine style long rifle.

9mm is the round that the firearm is chambered for. More technically it is the 9x19mm Parabellum which was developed in Germany in 1902 by Georg Luger and thus was deemed the name 9mm Luger by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (a standards institute founded in 1926). Understanding and appreciating firearms is something that every firearms owner in Canada does. Because of this, sport shooting is one of the safest activities to do because every single experienced shooter appreciates and respects the tools of their sport.

OIC BANNED FIREARM

In 1973 the Ruger Mini-14 was released as a lightweight semi-automatic rifle for use by civilians around the world.
The gun was originally chambered in .223 Rem with the this model known as the Ranch Rifle. Later models, known as the Mini Thirty, were chambered in 7.62x39mm which is a 30 caliber round, hence the name.
Because there were two main variants, this firearm became a popular choice for hunters, providing the owner with the option to choose the appropriate caliber for the game they were hunting as well as a reliable build quality that would not malfunction while in the bush.

This firearms is massive in the world of Canadian sport and recreational shooting and its prohibition will have large, lasting detrimental effects on the sport

The Canadian University Shooting Federation stands

The Canadian University Shooting Federation stands with our fellow sport shooters, hunters, hobbyists and collectors across the country in condemning the arbitrary and undemocratic nature of the May 1st OIC gun ban. In a show of unity, over 50 Canadian organizations spanning every province ask for our 3 main concerns to be heard:

1. The use of an Order in Council circumvents democracy, avoids the deliberation of evidence, delivery of expert witness testimony, and a full study of the issue. There is no vote amongst legislators therefore no voice for Canadians.

2. This measure targets the wrong demographic entirely, focusing solely on licensed firearms owners who safely and lawfully owned this property without issue previous to this OIC. The government’s primary duty is to uphold the safety of the citizens of Canada. This measure fails to address the criminal acquisition of, or illicit use of firearms.

3. The expense of this ban is immeasurable and prohibitive, from the implementation of a buy-back program, the destruction en masse of confiscated firearms, the framework and administrative costs to implementing the program, to the devastating impact on a multi-billion dollar industry, their employees and families.

Have you ever used an electronic target system?

These systems show immediate feedback to the shooter and bystanders allowing for a more engaging experience for those watching and an improved training experience for the shooter. These systems can work on a variety of technologies ranging from measuring the sounds of impacts to laser measurement. (📷Photo accreditation to familywmr on Flickr under CC 2.0 license📷)

Banned Sporting Rifle: ArmaLite 15

The ArmaLite rifle was originally designed in 1956 with a gas operated and roatating bolt action, chambered in .223 rem. Alternate versions of the gun were adapted for military use which became known as the M16 rifle (which has been prohibited in Canada since 1985). The ArmaLite rifle that we've come to know today has been a staple at the gun ranges used to teach safety, care and proper handling of firearms to new shooters.

Although this gun cannot be used for recreational hunting in Canada, it is used by many amateur and competitive sports shooters in precision shooting events.

Brass is by far the most common material used in casings, but it's not the only option. Alternatives exist in aluminum and steel as well, mainly as a way for high volume shooters to keep cost down. Do you use any brass case alternatives?

The humble .22lr

This little guy has been an immensely popular round in the shooting world ever since it's introduction way back in 1884. It's been used the world over by sport shooters, outdoorsmen, and those looking for a fun and budget friendly way to shoot pop cans. There's a good chance the first trigger you ever pulled was on the old long rifle, and it's not showing any signs of slowing down.
