Shipping Restricted

[Mopar15]

Do the guns need to be double locked. I work at a gun store and all the handguns we get are not locked in any way. Is it different if im shipping it to someone else

I would call the CFO and see how they want it done.

I also work in a store but we only handle non-restricted. They don't come locked in any way but in order to display them our CFO wants them locked (with a cable or trigger lock) in a locked (glass front) showcase (which does coincide with the printed junk we got from the provincial CFO).

We can argue whether the CFO is right/wrong or totally out to lunch, but since it's their final say as to whether or not we are meeting the requirements of our vendors licence I just find it easier to say "yes sir".

There is a difference between ultimately proving that your are "right" and having a suspended licence while the gears grind slowly through the process of proving you are right.

So, short answer - depending on "where" guns are and who has them (wholesaler, mfg, retail location, somebody's home) the rules ARE different.

Absolutely no locks are required.
Just ensure it is unloaded.

I shipped a restricted rifle for warranty repair when I phoned for the STAT I was told I had to put a trigger lock on it. I asked how will the gunsmith be able to unlock it. The CFO said leave the key in the gun case with the rifle????? So I put one of those cheap plastic trigger locks on it and put the key with it and shipped it out.
