I would respectfully suggest you read it again
The entir purpose of the Bill was to eliminate all ATTs....
John
No... it wasn't. I've read it in depth.
Bill C-42 made Authorizations to Transport a condition of a licence
for certain routine and lawful activities. ATTs are not an automatic for all transportation of a restricted firearm.
Those activities are limited to...
1 - taking a restricted firearm target shooting;
2 - taking a firearm home after a transfer;
3 - going to a gunsmith;
4 - going to a gun show,
5 - going to a a Canadian port of exit or,
6 - taking the gun to a peace officer or a CFO for verification, registration or disposal.
These above conditions are limited to the province of residence. If you want to travel to another province, you need an ATT from that province still to cover you once you cross the border.
Note, that doesn't include taking a gun to the post office upon selling it, or upon the need to return it to a reputable dealer for a warranty return. You can take your firearm home after a transfer from the post office, but not back.
So if someone had to return their restricted to you, they would indeed need to get an ATT to take it to the post office to return it to you, which is what was pointed out previously.
"calling the CFP for a short term ATT and transferring the firearm back to you."
First of all we never ask our customers to re-transfer to us, we do it for them. Second of all I'm surprised that for someone as well informed as yourself you have not heard of Bill C-42 ??

Here is the actual wording of C42... direct copy and paste...
2.1) Subject to subsection (2.3), an individ#ual who holds a licence authorizing the individual to possess prohibited firearms or restricted firearms must, if the licence is renewed, be authorized to transport them within the individual’s province of residence
(a) to and from all shooting clubs and shooting ranges that are approved under section 29;
(b) to and from any place a peace officer, firearms officer or chief firearms officer is located, for verification, registration or disposal in accordance with this Act or Part III of the Criminal Code;
(c) to and from a business that holds a licence authorizing it to repair or appraise prohibited firearms or restricted firearms;
(d) to and from a gun show; and
(e) to a port of exit in order to take them outside Canada, and from a port of entry.
(2.2) Subject to subsection (2.3), if a chief firearms officer has authorized the transfer of a prohibited firearm or a restricted firearm to an individual who holds a licence authorizing the individual to possess prohibited firearms or restricted firearms, the individual must be authorized
(a) to transport the firearm within the individual’s province of residence from the place where the individual acquires it to the place where they may possess it under section 17; and
(b) to transport their prohibited firearms and restricted firearms within the individual’s province of residence to and from the places referred to in any of paragraphs (2.1)(a) to (e).
From where they acquire it... ie the post office. Not to and from where they acquired it.
As for section C that says "to and from a business that holds a licence authorizing it to repair or appraise prohibited firearms or restricted firearms;", taking it to the post office isn't taking it "to and from" Marstar, especially if the person doesn't live in Ontario where Marstar is located. It is taking it to the post office.
