Pistols left in a will?

then charge him with storage violations, that will teach him.
Executor of the estate is considered to have the same licensing as the deceased for the purpose of settling the estate. The executors job is to dispose of the estate to the benefit of the estate, not the government of Canada. There are no time limits. Take it to its logical conclusion. - dan

All judgement on the efficacy of this aside, i know some people in this situation have gone to an eligible business and are storing their handguns with them for now. The handguns are registered to the business with a contract to return if things ever change and can be exported or sold on request.
Same for prohibited though not every business is eligible to have prohibited. Only those that are can keep them past the amnesty.
I have not heard of ranges being able to do this but if any are, it is conceivable you could also pick up your guns to use at that range. This is the model for handgun ownership they use in Russia... (I was surprised when someone said Russia has better gun laws than we do. And then shocked to realize that indeed now they do. Not because they made theirs better. We made ours worse.)

A colossal change is coming very soon.
Worrying about what to legally do with a few pistols after someone passes away will seem like such a small issue very soon.
Old people lose things all the time, theyāre forgetful. Iāve hunted for things that my Dadās misplaced, and sometimes theyāre in the most unusual places, sometimes we never figure out where things went.
If you want to keep something, let the old person in your life know, so they can misplace it somewhere for you now. Especially if that person has saved something down a family line, to be passed on as an heirloom.
If you think that Inheritance or Private Property means anything to this government, then you are sadly mistaken. The Secret State Police, under the guise of the good old RCMP that we were taught during the 20th century were the benevolent protectors of our privileged Canadian lifestyle, will be around to retrieve any guns that they know the whereabouts of.
We are some of the most law-abiding and certainly most regulated members of society. The government is now trying to use our childhood programming of doing what weāre told, following the rules, accepting our place, and not breaking their āLawsā to itās advantage.
By saying that they āCanātā register anymore handguns, they are counting on us accepting that and not getting creative to keep them.
Very soon the full scale of the Cultural Revolution that weāre currently experiencing will be evident. Very few people could see the entirety of the events that occurred during the 20th century until it was in hindsight. Just think about where we were in this country 20 years ago, 10 years ago, even 5 years ago.
Now think about where weāre going to be in 20 years. Itās so scary really, itās enough for an old person to lose track of where they put all their guns, not just handguns.

There is no amnesty related to handguns.
+1. Beyond guns this is great advice for both the old people to arrange their affairs ahead of time and the young people to speak up about what they want for the future.

Mike from Canmore was at the funeral, I havent seen them since.
And once again, bad laws encourage citizens to ignore them, which then carries over to the rest of society. The end result is a no respect or adherence to laws by the general populace. I wonder if the Liberals realize what they are starting? I'd like to think they are incompetent enough to not realize it, but I'm firmly convinced, especially by recent events, including the "New World Order", that it is by design. They are counting on society's unwillingness to do anything too extreme, but people can only be pushed so far. The more you take away from them, the sooner that will happen.
wonder how that holds up when the old Mr Demento (me) walks in and says 'hey, I can't find my handguns, they must have been lost'
Am I facing careless storage fines? ha
Are they now in a 'stolen property' file? idk

I'd like to try to export my Canadian issue Govt models (as well as a couple of very collectable Hi Powers cause I can't stand the thought of them melting and I'm not willing to sell them on the street corner) but, I still haven't gotten a clear answer as to whether the Colts can go back to the US or not
in your will, leave a letter that is sealed and not writing with the help of the lawyer, instructing what to do with your firearms especially the restricted ones,
I have a friend who's father passed, he had some restricted firearms, They were never found to be dealt with not much you can do about that

Email Imports@atf.gov for an answer from the people approving the import.
Unless you are sending to the buyer directly, your exports via borderview or similar will be engraved decreasing their collectability. Just fyi.
FWIW we sent a C series Colt without US property marks to the USA and it was approved but it was a direct shipment to the end user.
The executor of the estate is responsible for the distribution of all assets in the estate. Having been an executor in a contentious situation I would follow the law to the letter and not lie to the authorities about the handguns. There is too much risk one of the beneficiaries would rat you out if they were unhappy with your management of the estate. I'd rather see a fine collection of handguns be stripped of usable parts which could be sold and the frames turned into police than to faces criminal charges.
There are some rules about returning US military firearms that were distributed in other countries. Best to check. - dan
