12(6) Owners- What's Your Age?

dad is 55, I think he has 4 12(6) pistols.

I have 11-12 12(7) pistols, age 23. luger, c96 bolo, 2xppk, 2xpp, hsc, fn 1910, fn m1905, dreyse m1907.
 
I just turned 44 and have a bunch of 12-6's. Love to shoot them at the range and give anyone a chance that is interested. My Walther mod 9 is a real eye catcher and very cool to shoot.
I bought my first shorty from a police officer when I was just out of high school in 1992, just met him at the station and took it home - no ATT required. I have bought and sold probably 100 or so, but cap the herd at 15 ish.
 
Is there any other process besides just initiating a transfer to my kid with an RPAL?

No, that's it. There is a long transfer process so the RCMP can "verify" the gun was actually made before 46', but once the transfer is complete, your kid will be mailed a new license with "12(7) - Inherited Handgun" in the possession column.
 
70 yrs old.
Five 12.6 pistol /rigs all WWII German.

-Luger S/42 P.08 dated 1937 with two matching magazines and holster---a known vet bring back.
-Luger S/42 P.08 dated 1938 with two matching magazines and holster.
-Third Variation Mauser HSc pistol with two Mauser Banner magazines and holster---a known vet bring back. (Manufactured in 1941)
-Femaru Mod.37 code jhv43 with two matching magazines and a Luftwaffe L2 marked 'jsd 1942' holster.----a known vet bring back. (Manufactured in 1943.)
-Variation 2 Mauser Model 1934 with matching Kreigsmarine property markings on the magazine and pistol----a known vet bring back. (Manufactured in 1938.)

"A known vet bring back" means that I know the identity of the vet that brought back the rig and I have his service records and knowledge of his family history.

I'm 39 and I will always regret missing my chance. Being born in 1977, I was 18 in 1995 when the laws changed, so I think I would have been as young as possible. It's a moot point, though, as I didn't get my license until much later.

I only hope that we're not one day having this same forum thread about RPALs.
 
I'm 55 and stupidly missed the opportunity. Good on you all that are keeping it alive. The rest of us can live vicariously through you.
 
Just happened to look up some stats:

According to the CFP info on the web.......

As of Dec. 2014 there were 185,707 prohibs registered in Canada

As of Jan. 2010 there were 203,987 prohibs registered in Canada

That's quite a drop in 5 years. Almost 10% of the prohibs gone in that short a time.

Owners dying and no one to take them. It's a real tragedy if you ask me. The fall is only going to get bigger and faster.
