PSA - Firearms transfer notice no longer temp Reg Cert.

[FreedomIsn'tFree]

Remember the multitude of threads asking if it is necessary to wait for the Registration Certificate before taking the new gun to the range?
Well, the CFP has answered the question...

This.

[midnightvisions]

another attack on lawful firearm owners.

All those “can I take my restricted firearm to the range before my certificate arrives” threads settled.

I knew it. Glad I never waited for it before heading to the range.

Thought it was always like this..... transfer number just lets you pick up from post office.

Law clearly says you must carry the reg cert on you.

So your theory is you arent the holder of a registration certificate unless you literally have it on your person? In my opinion, as soon as I am issued a registration number I am the holder of a registration for the firearm in question

I have never received anything via email besides the transfer notice or authorization to transport (when that was a thing) and it was nothing like the registration certificate. They are clearly 2 different things, at least in my experience in AB in at least 20 different occasions.
So I don't think this is anything new, just the arm of the law trying to clarify.....which they do so well, so often...

You interpret what you want. I am just posting the relevant sections of the Firearms Act and the Criminal Code.
When did you prove to be right? In court?

Ya - I saw what you pasted just wondering if you had an opinion

I agree with your opinion.

Nowhere does it say you have to have the certificate on your person or face criminal charges.

Maybe Runkle of the Bailey will make a video.

Where on the transfer notice does it say it is a temporary registration? If it only serves to take possession and go straight home why doesn't it say right on it? It seems, like everything else, that things are left open to interpretation.
