12(6) How many and when....

[Strangeday]

I just completed a purchase of a 12(6) from a guy in Edmonton. He made comment that I was one of the youngest people he'd run into with a 12(6). I dida little looking around and found out that everybody I know is way older than me. So I'm wondering how "old" is everybody with a 12(6). I'm 34.

I'm 36. But when the prohib law came in, i was unaware, and not interested in handguns.......i've had longarms since i was 12......
I soooo wish i could own 12(6), if i could i'll bet i'd have a dozen.......

youngest someone with a 12(6) can be, due to the grandfathering, is 26, I believe (18 in 1998)
(I am 20, so no prohibs for me, I'm afraid )

Being a Kanadian 12(6) is kinda like being an immortal in the movie Highlander because:

"In the end, there can be just ONE!".

Unfortunately, you're right on. I call it "confiscaton by attrition" .

Unless eventually this ridiculous piece of social engineering called C-68 is repealed.

40 and 12(6) courtesy of a little Walther PP I picked up for $175 in 1993...little did I know how important it'd end up being!

37, 12(6) and 12(3). And I kick myself for not buying one of the $150 Indian FALs for 12(5).

 

[tiriaq]

I'm old. Sold my 12(2)s before there was a 12(2) class. Couldn't be bothered getting a 12(5), so am left with 12(3) & (6).

 

[Strangeday]

Okay IShootguns

when is your birthday?

 

[Trailrider]

Old enough to know my limits, young enough to exceed them with a 12/6 and my wife has one also.

 

[Ishootguns]

Strangeday My birthday is the end of june. Looks like you and I will be making off like bandits for a few years.

Not quite 50. Never had much interest in handguns until Alan Rock made his "only police and military should have guns" statement in the early 90's. Made the 12(6) cut off by ten days.

And the last one left will have all the toys.

[Auggie Doggie]

I'm 39. I have six 12(6) firearms as well as one 12(4). If I hadn't sold my Daewoo and M-14 I'd have 12(3) and 12(5) too.

I was 32 when my 12(6) was registered with the RCMP. However I'm one of those psychotic deranged killers in waiting with the ultra deadly evil short barrel .32 caliber revolver so they won't give me my 12(6)...yet!
