As a result of the Firearms Act, modifications were required to the firearms safety training provided to firearms owners and users. The revised Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC), which was implemented on February 1, 1999, reflects the new legislation and focuses primarily on non-restricted firearms (rifles and shotguns). The legislation stipulates that anyone wishing to acquire non-restricted firearms must take the CFSC and pass the tests.

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;
• responsibilities of the firearms owner/user; and
• safe storage, display, transportation and handling of non-restricted firearms.
