    All you say is: I am transferring a NR firearm. Check this license. Give me the ref number.

    Nothing more.
    Any reference there? that would be dream come true not having to provide every little detail

    Is a step to this that I do not understand - for private sales - so far as I know the "authorities" have no record of where is any Non-Restricted firearms, nor who owns them - except for those in inventory at a retailer. So, if I wanted to sell one that I have owned for a few years, why would I phone the RCMP / CFO to get permission to do so?? I already have to verify that I have no reason to believe that the buyer is not "allowed" to own such a thing - normally have been simply looking whether they have a PAL card or not, and I have shown mine multiple times so other private sellers are doing the same - what, exactly, is being "transferred", if they do not know what and where and to whom it belongs, now??

    It seems that declaring that you want to "transfer" ownership - first, you had to somehow declare ownership of it?? Seems a bit odd, to me, for private sales of non-restricted firearms.

    Perhaps these new regulation is saying that the PAL card is worthless - has no purpose / no value - to confirm that the receiver is allowed to own that firearm, have to verify, every time, with the RCMP/CFO - is that what is being done?

    I don't understand how this is still a question, it has been explictly stated in every single communication that has been sent out. From the government. From the CFOs. From the lawyers that have analysed the new regs.

    From Ed Burlew, lawyer specializing in firearms law:
    There is no obligation and it is discouraged for any transferor or transferee to inform the CFC or CFO of the details of the firearm. The CFC/CFO will only be concerned with the validity of the licenses.

    Essentially, yes. This step is being added because somebody has decided that simple possession of a plastic card is not a reliable indicator the holder is okay to possess firearms. So they make you call to verify the license is still good. And they give you a reference number to prove that you made the call.

    What is really being transferred is liability for determining the card holder is really a licensed gun owner, from you, to the government.

    I understand the government is not our friend, and everything they do should be scrutinized with caution and distrust, but really, all these hysterics over such a small change is pretty ridiculous, and more than a little tiresome.

    i wouldn't worry to much about it,,law enforcement have stated many times that they dont have time or resources to chase down a NON problem,
    this little fluff legislation is about one thing only, appease the liberal anti gun nazis,as long as those idiots THINK something is being done,they think they won something big,but really nothing much has changed,and not much time will be spent worrying about it.

    Yesterday I asked one of the "information officer" from RCMP firearm program about this when I verified a buyer's PAL. She said no firearm information is needed, only the buyer's PAL number and RCMP will issue a reference number which valid for 90 days. She also said we don't need to retain the reference number or the buyer's information. Then I don't see a point for the reference number.
