You just have to challenge the test for restricted which isn't much different than the test for unrestricted firearms and apply for the licence to own a handgun. My friend was going to take the unrestricted test and happened to mention to the tester his intent and was told he might as well take the restricted test if that's what he eventually wanted. He passed no problem.
I hadn't heard the assault rifle law was coming into effect. I do remember being told by our local sporting store shop that they were no longer going to stock semi-autos because he didn't want to be stuck with stock he eventually wouldn't be able to sell. That was back when the Liberals were in power.
