Hi,

My wife is interested in shooting hand guns. She has her RPAL, but I am the only one with hand guns(sort of, waiting on att.) Is it at all possible to register the guns in both of our names, so if she gets an att as well, she could take them without me?
 
Not sure how it is in BC, but in Ontario I think you'd be fine. As long as you live at the same address I don't think the guns would have to be in her name, she'd just need the REG Certs for them.

I'd call the BC CFO and ask them if you want to be 100% sure about it.

Hit the nail on the head. As long as she has the reg certs for them she can transport under her att since you both live at the same address
 
Sections 33 and 59 of the Firearms Act have you covered.

She can borrow your restricteds if:

1) She has an RPAL
2) She has an ATT and has the registration cert for each restricted firearm in her possession while she is transporting and using them. Even if she doesn't own them. The fact that you live together and have LATT's from the same address makes it more convinient.
 
Seems very likely a CFO could see his/her way to making an LTATT for this situation, as your wife is licensed and at the same address and if she has membership of an approved range/club to shoot them at. I suggest you include with her application a note saying she has your permission to borrow them at any time for any purpose covered by the ATT she is applying for.

Most CFOs seem reluctant to approve a restricted gun's transfer if the applicant isn't a member of an approved range/club, but this isn't a transfer so if she meets their other criteria they shouldn't have any concerns about the ATT.

Of course, the only way to be sure is to ask your CFO.
