This is the first time I have purchased a restricted firearm from a person, not from a dealer or store. We completed the transfer with the CFC and the seller contacted the CFO and I assume got an ATT to put it in the mail? I received the registration for said firearm from the CFC and a letter from the CFO that they know I own the firearm. The firearm is now on its long meandering way through Canada Posts sorting department and may or may not make it here.

Question is: When it arrives at the post office, do I need to contact the CFO and ask for and ATT to pick it up and transport it home or is the ATT that was used to deliver it to the Post Office still in effect until I get it home?

I do not have a copy of the ATT. Once the gun was shipped and I received the tracking number for Canada Post the seller stopped replying to my emails.

If anyone could help that would be great. I would rather not have to call the CFO and talk to them if I do not have to.

Thanks

You need a short term ATT to pick it up...
 
The correct answer is YES or NO or MAYBE.

You won't get a definitive answer here...guaranteed!

Do whatever you think is right.

Yes you will.

The correct answer is yes and then there are a ton of people that refuse to read the law and try to convice people to break it.

I call for an ATT every time I go pick up a parcel. The parcel is very rarely a firearm and even less frequently a restricted but better safe than sorry.

After all as long as it's concealed in a box a gun is like Schrodinger's cat. It doesn't exist until the box is opened.
 
25 years at Canada Post. 39 years since I first registered a handgun. Currently have over 10 restricted firearms in my lockup. Have had a few restricted firearms mailed to me over the years. Short Term Authority to Transport applied for to take the "package" home from the post office where I picked up the "package", ZERO.

If you phone the C.F.O.s office, yes they will issue you a S.T.A.T.T. and tell you it is the law. Which it is.

The end.

Now for Christ's sake, let's get the f@ck off of this stupid subject!!!

Says it illegal but advocates doing it anyway. You are aware that these are hybrid offenses and there is no statute of limitations right?

shawn is right, but absolutely refuses to believe that there are instances that you dont know what is actually in the package

ie dealer never send shipping confirmation or tracking. you get a slip in the mailbox but it doesnt indicate who its from. do you call for ATT just in case?

Do packages now come unmarked?

No, so you know. Willful ignorance is not a legal defence.

#17 and counting. Lets see if we can make this latest thread on "STATT needed for bringing a firearm home from the PO?",
a new record for the number of posts!
 
This is a public forum. It is no secret that it is monitored.
I wonder if one of these days, a CFO is going to arrange for charges to be laid, to answer the question once and for all.
Look at the increasing conditions being placed on target shooting ATTs.
Think it can't happen?
