So I finally got hold of someone at the Manitoba CFO office, that was willing to dig deeper and give me more than just "it's with the CFO for review" line I've been getting the last several calls.
Apparently I was subject to a weapon prohibition back in 2003. I thought it was longer than that ago, but who am I to argue.
Anyway, she told me the CFO is suppose to request a copy of the police report regarding that incident, but she says sometimes they forget. Understandable, with the amount of apicatuons they probably have for review. She said she would send a reminder off to the CFO and to check back in 3 weeks (seems to be a popular call back time frame they give people)
So I'm back to waiting, but at least I know what the holdup is. The last few douches I talked to couldn't even give me that.
I guess this can serve as a heads up for some of you that have also been waiting a very long time (just over 4 months for me), it doesn't seem to matter if your prohibition was longer than 5 years ago, they seem to care whether you've had one at all.
In my case, no weapon was involved, nor did I assault anyone (in my opinion anyway), it was just a shoving match out of self defence, that led to me being arrested, and a 5 year prohibition put in place. I think the CFP need to modify their applications and add this clause in there, even though it is ridiculous. This whole process just stinks.
