For those who want to sell handguns to those who can properly export them within all of the rules and regulations Caina Longbranch in Ottawa exports handguns when they get a viable lot to export and other prohibs on a case by case, and time permitting. Its not an export service, they simply buy guns and take them off your certs under their own industrial purpose license everything is done properly with no loose ends. They are primarily defence and export oriented; however, they have been doing this for 40 years and used to export police handguns in the 1990s also when export was a condition of sale of many police departments who would otherwise use your public funds to destroy guns. Most all Departments these days destroy guns from the anti gun fetish as your tax dollars and mine circle the bowl

As an example S&W model 686 was recently purchased for $300.00 which is OK but not great; however, the time and expense of exporting costs business overhead and Trudeau's stunt punched a hole in the value of what we own and guns are not exported unless the pricing in numbers work. It is what it is. As I said to a friend in the justice department years ago that did not understand what firearms owners go through as a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant I now know what is like to be black and living in the Southern United States 150 years ago ; its not a very pleasant feeling (understatement of the year, for many years). As former Ottawa Police Service Chief Peter Sloly, one of the finest police officers in Canada, said; "gaining the public's trust is difficult, and its important" Bullseye 10X. People like Trudeau are tone deaf to the values Chief Sloly articulated and have no place in the public's trust; earned and not a "historical entitlement" of a "silver spoon boy". I don't have a problem with people of money and position; however, I do have for those who abuse them

If this suggestion helps anyone, all the power to them

BTW the "Trudeau Regime's" (now facing unemployment" for their arrogance) idea exporting our service rifles (not "assault rifles" unless you want to swallow Trudeau's perverted narrative) to Ukraine is profoundly stupid. Imagine the dogs breakfast of civilian spec service rifles that have no place on the battlefield with non mil spec parts breaking on the harsh battlefield and getting Ukrainians killed. It would be a military logistic nightmare supporting a cattle drive of one off, not interchangeable parts rifles. With friends like Trudeau who has no respect for people with an opinion other the his own and only lip servicer to Ukraine in most cases, President
Zelenskyy doesn't need enemies

On the lighter side of things, It reminds be of the time someone decided to give DND's 6x6 Coyote Infantry fighting vehicles to police departments when the most they really needed were the plentiful armored street only vehicles built on the easily maintainable and relatively inexpensive Ford F-550 chassis. The Coyote, great for the battlefield but needing the numbers of a military organization (or a museum or collectors with free labor) not just one for say the Halifax Police Service which would make the costs go through the roof, and costs in the vehicle that no police service needed in addition to being total overkill for police. Sort of like after the OKA crisis when someone form the Surete du Quebec inquired with General Dynamics about buying an M-1 Abrams tank until a Montreal paper got a hold of the story with the headline 'Dark Sinister Musings". Bureaucracy Armed! Chief Sloly would be shaking his head and not be amused.

In any event one Halifax resident was pretty pissed and wrote in: "We don't need this vicious toy!. It makes us look STUPID". It was a long day that day and I was tired however, when I read that I just couldn't stop laughing!

I digress and its Saturday night :eek:) Do what you need to do with your own handguns.
 
It’s a good idea to make a profit from selling old guns. Why won’t the government do it…. Doesn’t our head of state have think tank or advisors that gives expert opinion and stuff ?
The export of used firearms from Canada can be a tricky business. After all of the work, and getting actual exportable prices it can be a matter of recovering overhead and being careful not to actually lose money in the process. "The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence" and even basic commercial business overhead can consume money at a ferocious rate

U.S dosent do it at federal level only local. I would surplus anything civilians can own personally. Ironically in the future i want to find some old prohibited Canadian pd issued handguns and import to the U.S for my collection. The hi powers being destroyed was so sad collectors globally easy 500 per gun.

Canada destroyed 63,000 FN C1A1s rifles (10,000 + a lifetime of spares could have gone to the Northern Rangers instead of the bold action rifle waste) followed by 23,000 C-1 "Sterling" 9mm SMGs as our government has no respect for our tax dollars or Canadians ; however message yesterday is the Inglis HPs will go to Ukraine. So no "Mayan Sacrifice" of our Inglis Browning's as they head out to a good cause
 
they will buy them for a 1/4 of retail value can$ sell them in usa for wholesale maybe retail and collect the exchange rate plus a 40% profit on the sale
good deal for them
that's how the world goes round
 
on the 300$ 686
they will net 500-800$ prophet
Little problem with that calculation. Each export cost 1000s of dollars to put together, so if it is one gun, its a loss

As for profit, I am not sure were someone to pay a buyers price that would allow a 500-800 profit. WoW, Double wow! more like a gross profit of $150.00 to $200.00 CDN, you need 60-70 guns to make the export viable That is what exporting really looks like. Years ago my late father met Paul Martin at a social even in Ottawa (very decent sort, and I met him at a local Gym and got the same impression). My father told him a joke: "how do you start a small business in Canada? Start a large one and wait a week" Mr. Martin said he would use that. That pretty much sums up exporting firearms from Canada.

The illusion of huge profits comes from a result of smoking Justin Trudeau's Janga with too much THC; the "high ingredient" Back in the 1960 I am told pot had a 4% THC content, but now it is much higher at 10-14% which probably accounts for Trudeau's paranoid delusions that Canadian citizens are his enemies just like the truly ignorant, vulgar way politically assassinated Jody Wilson-Raybould. Then he is seen openly flurting with Melenia Trump really obviously. I am sure her husband must have been REALLY HAPPY about that one. Charged with a personal sense of entitlement, and profoundly tone deaf
