Wow!!! Talk about a great service and fast CFO approval!!!!

Why/how do you NEED a personal sporting use only, civilian restricted transfer rushed?

Because the weather is nice, and people want to go outside. Need is a relative question, but the Summer is short and people want to enjoy it.

The "hole" province has slowed down to going backwards. Liberals running it into the ground.

I feel your pain, I have 2 transfers waiting to be approved...

Am I going to draw fire for saying that... the most I have ever waited in Alberta is 48 hours?

Sorry.

Fire away

You guys have it easy. Try a transfer in Quebec. Minimum 5 days. Usually it's around 2 weeks, sometimes more. For a first AR, it's a minimum 30 days waiting period. I think that's because our CFO just hates every single one of us.

The irony is that beyond the first transfer, it's merely a rubberstamp. It shouldn't take more than an hour, no matter what province you live in. If you think about it, it should take the same time to transfer a restricted firearm as it takes to change ownership on a car (a few keystroke), the process is exactly the same.

So if we all call in with this "need" it willl be sped up?!

I worked hard getting the money saved up for my gun ($1000), I joined a club ($600) took their safety class...then had to attended 3 separate supervised shoot events (had to cut shifts short 3 weeks in a row to be able to go to them) to prove I am safe and able to hit the target board at least...all to be allowed to bring my own pistol which I am waiting weeks on...

Do I have this "need" now? Do I call and say hurry up please or?!

All I can say is be polite, and don't say need unless you have a pending competition. Catch more flies with honey and all that.

Secondly the fast turn around from the CFO giving approval for my restricted purchase. I was expecting to wait days but I'll take the 24 hours wait instead.

Yep. That's almost as good as actually being free. Either way though I guess.

[Alphaskagg]

FWIW 6 months ago Transfers in/to BC used to take 12-24 hours. Now they are around 7-10 days.......
