Buying restricted

[crenom]

If i were to visit and decided to purchase a restricted in store, would you be able to get the STATT while i'm there or would i have to place a web order and wait for an email?
I only ask because i have a few handguns on my shopping list but i'd like to get my hands on them to see how they feel before committing.

The att would not be the problem, however the transfer will take the time. I've heard of same day registration transfer but usually is a few days up to a week. So even if you did buy it that day the transfer would not be done anyways so you would have to go back later to pick it up.

What he said. I've had the transfer in as little as 2 days or as long as 5

You mostly have to wait. However, I've heard of first hand stories from my LGS where a buyer from Nanaimo bought a gun in the Fraser Valley and the store told the CFO about the situation. The transfer and ATT were completed and issued in less than an hour. The caveat was it cannot be your first gun purchase, at least that's what I was told!
Also, some local gunshows have the CFO on site and transfers on restricteds are completed the same day.

I bought a Ruger pistol about 2 months ago. Went into the store and made the purchase around noon one day, and got a call the next morning from the gun store telling me that the transfer went through and it was ready for pickup.

Sometimes in Winnipeg if you buy the firearm during business hours it could all be done by the end of the business day. But that might have changed since I bought my last restricted.
