In a series of press conferences today, culminating with the Prime Minister and Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino in Vancouver, the Liberal government has announced that the handgun freeze has come into effect as of today at 12:01am EST.
This freeze was initially proposed as part of Bill C-21 which is currently being studied by SECU at the committee stage.
As of 12:01 AM EST this morning:
Any handguns transferred before 12:01 AM EST this morning (21-Oct-2022) will be processed as usual with proof of purchase before the 12:01 AM cutoff.
Any transfers started AFTER will be reviewed to see if the individual (buyer) is exempt. The individual will be contacted upon review by the CFO for proof that they meet the requirements for exemption.
Handguns “pre-purchased” by individuals while the RPAL was being processed, will not be processed or “grandfathered in”.
RPAL licenses processed after the freeze will not be refunded IF the individual decides to cancel the application.
