 What is the CFSC Class?

Canadian Firearms Safety Course

Canadian Firearms Safety Course

The Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) was developed in partnership with the provinces and territories, national organizations with an ongoing interest in firearms safety, and many firearms and hunter education course instructors from across Canada. This course was developed to meet the mandatory requirements of section 7 of the Firearms Act.

The legislation stipulates that individuals wishing to acquire non-restricted firearms must take the CFSC and pass the tests OR challenge and pass the CFSC tests without taking the course. Individuals wishing to acquire restricted firearms must take the CFSC and the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC) and pass the tests OR challenge and pass the tests without taking either course.

Topics covered in the CFSC include:

• The evolution of firearms.
• Major parts.
• Types and actions.
• Basic firearms safety practices.
• Ammunition.
• Operating firearm actions.
• Safe handling and carry procedures.
• Firing techniques and procedures.
• Care of non-restricted firearms.
• Responsibilities of the firearms owner/user.
• Safe storage, display, transportation and handling of non-restricted firearms.
