but if the ban kicks in before you get the card... then the store won't be able to sell the gun again, no?

This! I don’t mind waiting my turn, but when I see people sending their papers in after me and getting their cards before me, that’s frustrating. Top that off with virtually no one to talk to, ridiculous. Yah new dumb gun law, they are busy, but that doesn’t explain the line jumping. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy fellow Canadians are getting their cards and don’t have to go through this.
I have them on speed dial and call whenever I have a break. The last time I was able to get through to a human was July 26th and was told "It's in the final final stage of review". Asked if I would make it through before hunting season and agent could not give me an answer. Have not been able to get through to anyone since. I keep getting put on hold and then disconnected with message "No one is available to assist you, we are sorry". Maybe I'm just that unlucky?
I've been trying to get through to BC CFO for the last couple weeks. Never had any success. Just put on hold and at some point (between 2 and 18 minutes) hung up on. Lately I haven't even been able to get out on hold, just hung up on straightaway (after a recorded apology).
My license expires in 2 weeks. I've been at initial review for nearly 6 months. I have restricted weapons and a pending transfer.
There are a plethora of words to describe this situation and not one of them is good. I can't help but wonder if this is in some way intentional.
I had the same issues, unfortunately I had to call pretty much all fn day to get through
Apparently there's some sort of trick with a highlighter that signifies "importance" so they process it ASAP, meanwhile everyone not aware gets pushed back even further :D
I'm currently coming up on the 8th month mark of my wait here in a couple days... fingers crossed I make it before turkey season(& ban)
Just FYI for everyone that's been waiting. Even though credit card was charged and status said initial review complete.....stuff didn't save correctly and was "missing". Had to call in to be informed about it and get it corrected. Definitely always good to call to make sure they have everything.
How did you find this out
