Under new rules what happens when I die?

Anyone have any info on this? IF my son has an RPAL but no handguns could he inherit mine?

No ..

but you have a choice to donate them to ..
1. the government
2. a group of underprivileged peoplekinds

just before you leave ... just do not expect a tax receipt ....

remember, the dead, even if charged, cannot be compelled/forced to serve the sentence ...
 
I believed you need to dewat them by specific standards set out to deactivate and may not be able to do yourself. I don’t have a link on this but plenty of info on Google.

If he's dead it won't really matter if they are done to any particular standards. I think the point was that they would be unable to use them.
 
Alternately, your executor will receive a letter from the CFO asking them to turn in the firearms. Depends which reality you're in.
The executor receives a letter weeks, months or perhaps even years later and the executor says what firearms? Didn't find any. Honestly, the executor may have zero knowledge.
 
A case stuffed full of Bullseye with the heaviest bullet available. Sandbag, tie on a string and let her rip..... all in the name of science.

The police will kick your door down while your family is at your funeral, shoot your dog, ransack your home, beat your neighbours and shoot their cat, give each other a high five and move on to the next one. Alternately, your executor will receive a letter from the CFO asking them to turn in the firearms. Depends which reality you're in.

Only way the executor receives a letter is if the executor has already contacted the CFP and told them you died.

If you don't contact the CFP to notify them of death, and no one is under any obligation to notify the CFP of death, then the license will expire on its provided date and the CFP will never send a letter to anyone, except maybe a renewal notice. And the police will not come. And the door will not get kicked down. No cats or dogs will get shot.
 
CFO wouldn't know for maybe 5 years... after license lapses unless there is now a centralized death reporting system.

Pretend it's the 90s..don't ask don't tell.

This. And also don't forget the possibility that the Drones who work at the CFP are incompetent, and are slaves to their computer systems.

I know a guy who was dead for two years, but the executor (who had provided a copy of the death certificate to the CFP) transferred the last 12.6 prohib out of the estate and then the CFP reissued a new license with a full five year expiry with a letter advising the deceased that they had just lost their 12.6 grandfathered privileges.

It amazes me how after all of the screw ups we have seen, that people still see the RCMP as some all knowing, all seeing, all powerful magical wizard of oz.

Family members of any deceased gun owner should memorize this phrase "I have no idea what he ever did with his guns".:confused:
 
I'll export them to someone in the USA before I let the government of Canada confiscate them from my house after I die.
I had a friende who was an old time cop and WWII navy vet. In fact he was at one time the local police firearm instructor. Many years ago he had purchased a couple of rare models of Lugers as investments. When C-68 was passed the guns became close to worhless. He got online (these were the early days of the internet) and located a collector in Kentucky (or Tennessee, I forget which one) who wanted the guns. The guy drove up from the U.S., my buddy stashed the guns in his car and drove over to the U.S. side of the border, met the guy who paid him and they both went happily on their way.

He passed a few years later and of course the guns were nowhere to be found.

I foresee a lot more of this happening in the near future.
 
Family members should remember they have a right to remain silent. If someone needs to talk to the police, it should be your lawyer.

Nobody talk on behalf of me when I am dead. They can ask as many questions about my guns while sitting on my casket. If they get an answer, it’s theirs !

On a more serious note, I think the "exempted individuals or businesses" might be referring to the Elite Olympic shooters and business supplying their needs.
 
The Elite shooters won’t even find a store willing to go to the trouble to sell them guns. Who in the world will keep specialty gun for a few guys ?

Will most likely import by special order.

Same with export - someone overseas will always want to buy - over half the buyers at prohib auctions are foreighners or representing them - you just may not like the price...

Well, nobody knows for sure, but some say they see a big white light....

As for your guns, unless they disappear shortly after your death somehow, they're destined for the chop saw/smelter.
