Upon accepting a transfer today I was required to indicate who was transporting the firearm to who. I stated that we hadn't decided yet, and was told the AB CFO demands that info prior to considering approval.

Are they starting to correlate Transfers to STATTs?

Sounds like they might be. I just confirmed a transfer to me here in NB and wasn't asked. OTOH we still have home mail delivery here so I follow the tracking and make sure I'm home to receive it.....no STATT needed
 
Never been asked in that way, but in BC they started asking awhile back and would send the STATT (valid for a MONTH) along with the Notice of Transfer. Saves a call and some work...

Hmmm, I wasn't talking to AB. The transfer hadn't been sent to AB for approval yet? Strange.

I was asked that once (I think it depends on who you are dealing with that day). She said if I was picking it up at the post office I would need an statt, and that she would issue it right now so I wouldn't have to call in later
 
As the seller, I've been asked several times by the CF0 weather the item was being collected or shipped, as a buyer it has never come up....
 
Miramichi asked me this today, i told her it made no difference since i'm from Quebec and the sureté would never throw me a bone and file an STATT for me, because quebec are always so different from everyone else.
She had a good laugh and was the end of that, but yeah first time i have been asked this today.
 
I completed a transfer on Monday and that was one of the questions. How was I going to get the gun, shipped or pickup.

It's all BS. One time, I wasn't home for a delivery so my 12 year old daughter signed for it.

Same with me but it was the CFC that asked the question when I initiated the transfer. And like you, I haven't ever been asked when I was the buyer.
 
Sold one that I agreed to deliver last week, when I was transferred to request the STATT, I told the woman I would deliver "tomorrow or the next day" since I hadn't had time to set something up with the buyer. NO go, I was told to call back when I knew which day as they would only issue a one day. When I bought the same gun 2 yrs ago they gave me a 30 day STATT to pick it up. This is all in BC BTW.
 
This is getting kind of comical.

The transfer I accepted today was actually a transfer back to me from my son. They asked him the same question.

He told them I was picking it up from him and I told them he was deliver it to me.

So what are they gonna do with that now?

I think we may simply be dealing with a new hire and some bad verbiage.

Just had this come in the mail today. I've been asked three times in the last month about how the item is being exchanged, but this is the first time I've seen the STATT accompany the transfer. Handy I think.

Most often I ship, but this was a local purchase.

The few times I shipped a pistol, I was only given a one hour STATT to take the gun from home to the post office and I had to provide the address of the post office.

Do they just randomly decide a time the STATT is good for? When I called in to get one for my move it was basically the afternoon of when I was moving. It was like 6 hours lol... technically if I had moved it to my new house before 11am or after 5 pm I would have been breaking the law. A little silly they simply dont make it for 24 hours. Seems like that would make the most sense but nothing makes sense in the realm of Canadian gun laws.
 
I had my Shadow delivered by CANPAR to my place of work because I wouldn't be home to accept the package. Had to get a STATT to take the Shadow from work to home. They gave me an hour on the ATT to do so.
 
Been asked the same question for the last few restricted transfers I've done as a buyer. Nothing new about this.

Yes, I think it has something to do with them keeping a strict paper trail pertaining to ATT's.

I've said this before & I will say it again. They could just ditch all this ATT nonsense. "Attach" the ATT to your valid PAL as a "condition".

Then: as long as your PAL is valid you have an implied ATT [both LT and ST] to do all the things you need to do, in terms of transport, with your restricteds.

To & from range, to & from gunsmith, to & from gun show, pick up at post office..... yada,yada,yada.

Simple.

As an interim measure, since they seem to generally make these ST-ATT's they are issuing now good for 30 days, why bother with the stupid question at all. Just issue both parties the 30 day ST-ATT and be done with it.

If you are picking it up at buddies house, good to go. If you are picking it up from the post office, good to go.

If you get drunk & are found shooting out the street lights - not good to go.
