The Canadian Shooting Sports Association is pleased to congratulate Dr. Teri-Jane Bryant on her appointment as Chief Firearms Officer for Alberta.
Dr. Bryant brings a lifetime of firearm ownership, hunting experience and knowledge to her new position.
Prior to accepting this appointment, Teri Bryant served on the Alberta Firearms Advisory Committee from 2020 until the present.
In 2015, Dr. Bryant retired from the faculty of the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business to focus on volunteer activities. Some of those volunteer activities predate her retirement, of course, and just a few of her past volunteer positions in the firearms community include:
- Director of the Canadian Shooting Sports Association
- President of the Military Collectors Club of Canada
- Secretary of the Alberta Arms and Cartridge Collectors Association
An avid collector of Japanese firearms and militaria, Dr. Bryant is well-known for her research website NambuWorld.com.
Dr. Bryant is the second long-time firearms authority to be appointed as Chief Firearms Officer of a province. Last fall, Saskatoon Wildlife Federation Past President and former CSSA Director Robert Freberg was designated as the Chief Firearms Officer of Saskatchewan.
This trend in appointing civilians with extensive firearms experience and knowledge to this important position is welcomed by CSSA and all lawful firearms owners, and we hope it continues across Canada.
