Issues With BC Chief Firearms Officer

[DTC861]

Hey Liberty.357,
What section should he mark down as he has not been refused he is just waiting for them to finalize it which they have not done in over a year.

NSRiar, His application went in the same as mine and as for info I served with him for years and we are tighter than brothers I know more than I should LOL.. The biggest problem is that the BC CFO has repeatedly brushed him off with no attempt to contact the 6+ references and medical professionals he has allowed them to contact. When he submitted a complaint to the email that he was provided he heard no response.( He has sent an email every month for the last 3 months) and he only calls once a month. We are going to try faxing them a letter to see if they respond. I can see how he is frustrated and I do understand that you need to check the boxes but when your not even looking and contacting references there's something that seems just a bit fishy

I can only feel the pain bro i guess court application would be next step if nothing is being returned. Hopefully it gets resolved.

Just fill it out as a refusal to issue. When you go to court to get a date just say it was a refusal. The paper doesn't need to be filled perfect, just get it in, tell them it was refused. Honestly when it's taken this long it will be such a relief for him to get a direct response from the cfo the day after he files the paper.

Be prepared to have to provide supporting documents and referrals. I'm not sure what all you'll have to do and what your friends case is specifically. So long as your friend has a doctor that'll vouch for him and he doesn't have an uber bad history, I wouldn't expect a problem. Now if he has been violent then I wouldn't expect a good outcome.

Just an update guys, I helped him draft an official letter and he faxed it to the BC CFO office. within 30 minutes of sending the fax he got a call and was approved.

You know he's banned right?

All you guys need to know is ombudsmen or section 74 of the firearms act. People need to stop bending over and use the act against them
