Issues With BC Chief Firearms Officer

[waepek]

After reading your post I called them. As they were on June 6th and I put in June 1st. I asked what might be the problem. He said call in a few days. So I thought what ever. Decided to go right to the office. I explained what was going on and handed him the copy of my application. He asked me if I had a few minutes? No problem I said. He returned a short time later with my long and 2 shorts. Done deal. Finanally. So I don't know where you live but if it's doable just go there with your app.

Address???

118-5477 152nd avenue surrey. Make sure to bring your pal and application. I think this is only going to work if your date has been passed over.

I am in the same boat. It is my first hand gun, and I have been waiting since June 26. I was expecting a 4-5 day turn around as that is what I was told during my PAL course, I was also told that by the salesman at the store where I purchased it. I just love spending money on stuff just to let it sit at the store for almost a month.

Yup, June 22nd for me. Laid out $3k for a couple of new toys and still waiting.

I'm in Prince George. I am going to be down there next weekend, but only the Saturday and Sunday which is also a little frustrating. I figure I am just going to have to call 2-3 times a week and fax my range membership in at least weekly At the very least it will start to tick somebody else off.

Applied june 26
it is my first LTATT
Spoke to someone today July 31, and I was told that they are working on the stuff from June 20th right now. With any luck, I should be able to pick up my gun in another week or two. And for now, I will continue to enjoy my time in gun nut purgatory

Just so y'all know.... don't forget ANYTHING when you submit LTATT paperwork, even if that means you "forget" all of your paperwork because some nit-wit at the BC office apparently misplaced your LTATT paperwork that was faxed in at the exact same time as the transfer from the dealer.

They lost mine, I phoned in the info, faxed in my membership.... TA DA! Bottom of the pile. I get to play the waiting game all over again. From everything I've been told and the paperwork I received it looks like they attempted to process the transfer on June 29th for a June 19 submission, but because they lost the damn LTATT paperwork I've been waiting for 6 weeks.

On another note, I was told they are now working on paperwork from the "end of June", whatever date that may be.

Is anyone else thinking we should start a petition to have Terry Hamilton replaced?
