selling restricted - meet at shooting range

[sallen]

im not so sure; either way, it is unenforceable

It seems clear to me. For the seller to move it to the range, it needs to be registered to his address. For the buyer to take it home, it needs to be registered to their address. Unless the registration change takes place while the firearm is at the range (which would be next to impossible to setup) one or the other is braking the law. You may call it unenforceable, but if the firearm shows up in another place, without a valid way to get it there, you could be charged.

My point is that the only real way to do this (in Ontario) is to get a STATT. I know some of the ATTs out West do allow you to move a restricted owned by someone else. In this case it would be possible to meet at a range.

that is fine, call and get a STATT when meeting at the range

the problem is that once the transfer is complete, the gun is not yours and not covered by your LATT. It's dumb but it does sort of make sense in a perverted way. I just asked to have my local post office placed my LATT for firearms packaged for mail. No such luck.

And yet another reason for ATT's to be a condition on your license. Just simply worded "for all legal transportation purposes of restricted firearms."

I would call directly and ask but they're closed in my time zone. Can you not call ahead and say "Hi, I'm headed to buy a Glock from a member at my club. I'll need an ATT to bring it home. How long do you need to fax one up to the Club office? I'll pick it up from there."

I'm sure I'm missing something. I have an RPAL but no restricted firearms yet, but when I called and asked about "reasonably direct route" I got a favorable answer and the ladies were very polite... just seems odd that we're jumping through hoops to avoid a STATT. Now, picking it up from the post office is a different story.

I bought a restricted through a range where I am a member and I still required a STATT to take it from the range to home despite having a LTATT. Seems strange, but these are the rules we must follow.
