Ok...,so I really hope the law gets reversed once we kick out Turdo and his dictators but I am doing a will, and own several valuable and rare handguns. Are they just considered part of the estate if you die and they will be bought back by the government? or are they basically 100% worthless? Do you need to make a special allowance in will for them? I can't believe I even have to consider this due to the idiots running the country.:bangHead:
 
The "freeze" makes no mention of a "buy back", "buyout" or any other form of compensation for private property rendered worthless by this decree.
 
If Kanada votes these clowns back in, there will be moves to start taxing homeowners on the equity of their legally owned homes, plus simply take part of our legally earned savings. I’m not overly hopeful that just the threat of that will wake voters up.

At the moment, a large portion of the voting population doesn’t give a rat’s a$$ about our handguns. They can’t seem to make the connection to their own situation. Until they wake up, we will drift on our own iceberg.

My Dad, who was born in 1900, told me that all the liquor prohibition did was make crooks out of honest people. I can see clearly now how that comes about.
 
Not 100% worthless, but the value has dropped. I believe some of the auction houses (e.g. Switzer's, Landsborough, maybe others) have plans to hold auctions for foreign buyers only (not a new concept, e.g. UK auctioneers do this). There are some businesses buying for export as well... and you can also engage an exporter to send to an auction in the US (e.g. Borderview) - arranged from least to most for the amount of effort on your part, and frankly I don't know if there's a greater financial benefit to either, this is all so new, but from past experience probably about the same. Expect to take a financial hit, but it won't be a complete loss.
 
Just start a gunsmith business ($100 fee from rcmp) then transfer all your handguns to the business. Then if you pass away the handguns are owned by the business and whoever owns the business owns the handguns

Freeze is just the first step.
Watch them try to completely ban it in next few years.

We are well and truly on the slippery slope now. Even if the Conservatives win the next election, I have my doubts that they will reverse anything. Just look at how the use of guns is portrayed in the media.

Tell them, in no uncertain terms, that they must promise to reverse this nonsense and enshrine firearms ownership in our Constitution, or they will never see the light of power. The Liberals and NDP made this a political issue, it's time we finish it.

There aren't 'nuff gun nuts of any kind, to sway the election results.

good idea I already own a corporation, pretty easy to just add another business under it..will check on this..too bad smithing is so tanked these days, be fun to do as a side line:cheers: Personally I hope the next government will reverse it. The Liberals know 100% this will change nada, its political, also it is a standard ploy in politics 101 to get people off total screw-ups by creating new controversaries, Ie: the handling of covid has people hating the Libs so they simply add new things for the media to focus on. They have to satisfy their strong left leaning voter base & the paranoia brought about by foreign news on violence so why not attack legal gun owners and ban guns. The registry was the same boondoggle. This will be a conservative voter concern too be sure but I fear they will not bang the drum too loud as they also need to try and sway current liberals. My guess is they may try to reverse it but with some other caveat attached like tougher licensing etc. I do not care what they do as like all of us I am a legal law abiding owner and just want my rights and privileges back...otherwise like a poster stated that "prohibition made crooks out of honest men", I see the same happening here.

Not sure that getting a firearms business license for gunsmithing is quite that easy...

I think it is a grey area yet they have not addressed, this is from the RCMP site: any business simply needs to do this, my guess is there are lots of loop holes they will be looking at soon to stop transfers between business, as it stands the current ban is only for sale and transfer between individuals. We will have to wait for next election to see where we will stand in the future. It will either remain as is like with the prohibs in the 90's or slide into full bans (unlikely)

" Licence requirements
A business, museum or organization needs a firearms business licence to possess, manufacture, or sell

ammunition
firearms
restricted weapons
prohibited weapons
prohibited devices
The licence is only valid for the activities specified on it. Each location where the business operates needs a separate business licence.

A business may have prohibited items only for one of the specified purposes in Section 22 of the Firearms Licences Regulations.

Please contact the Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) of the business jurisdiction to receive an application form. The CFO may add conditions at his or her discretion.

To be eligible for a firearms business licence, a business must meet the following requirements:

All employees who handle firearms must have a valid Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL).
If the business has only non-restricted firearms, employees must have a licence to acquire non-restricted firearms;
If the business has restricted or prohibited firearms, employees must be licensed to acquire restricted firearms.
If the business has restricted or prohibited weapons, prohibited devices, or prohibited ammunition but does not have any firearms, employees do not need a firearms licence. However, employees need to be eligible for a firearms licence. This means they do not have to submit a licence application, but they must be able to pass a background check and there can be no court orders prohibiting them from possessing firearms or other regulated items.
Certain people connected to the business will also need to be eligible for a licence.
owners and partners
directors and officers of the corporation, if the business is a corporation
anyone in a relationship to any of the above with a direct influence on the business or who could have access to firearms held by the business
The Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) service standard to process a properly completed business licence application is 55 days."
 
I had a business license that included gunsmithing. Business premises (which will be inspected), with appropriate security system required. There may be municipal zoning requirements, commercial zoning vs residential, perhaps multi use. Municipal business license. It is not just a case of paying a hundred bucks and getting a license. A firearms business license will detail exactly what activities may be carried out. There will be regular inspections, and firearms on the premises will be inventoried.

Ensure you install a very secure trap entry system. ie R. Kotanko (RIP)

I was reading on another post about a gentleman that bought a glock for his broth in-law, planing to transfer once he got his licence. With the new bs he is stuck with it because of the transfer freeze. Someone was explaining that you can lend a restricted firearm to anyone with the appropriate licence. Is there truth to this ?? If so, is any paperwork required ? It was explained if you can lend it out as long as the registration goes with it. What ever the terms are must be clear to both party’s. Can I go borrow a glock from the local gun store? 1000$ To borrow it for ever ?? Let me know.
