I have a 12.6 class on my pal that was grandfathered to me, only under the possession column, i assume that doesn't allow Me to purchase any more ? If not what is the best way to oobtain 12.6 so i can purchase them? Thank you
 
You Can't. This has been discussed ad nauseum. It is called prohibited for a reason. Under certain circumstances you can inherit a prohib which you have done obviously but YOU can't buy any more. What you can do if the person who has a 12/6 is still alive is have them buy it for you which you can then inherit. A number of people have done this, but the gun still has to be pre 1946.
 
Yes you can. 12.7 is the status that does not allow you acquire any more prohibs.
The EE is the best place to start. There are plenty of people with 12.6 buying and selling, otherwise there wouldn't be a category in the EE.
 
Yep mine says the same 12.6 is on possession side and non restricted and restricted listed on the acquisition side. U can buy 12.6 only 12.7 is the possess but cant buy
 
Possession - Non-restricted, Restricted, 12(6) Handgun

Acquisition - Non-restricted, Restricted, 12(6) Handgun

Without this on you PAL, you can't buy prohib handguns, the way I see it.
 
You can possess 12/6, if it doesn't say 12/6 in the acquisition side you're pooched. 12/6 is not Your classification, it is the classification of the firearm.
 
Ask the CFO. If you had a 12(6) handgun in 1996 and continually since then you are grandfathered and can acquire but they screwed up your license.
 
Well mine says 12.6 and 12.3 restricted and non restricted on the possession side and only restricted and non restricted on the acquisition side and I have bought 12.3 even though its not on the acquisition side. So I would assume its the same for 12.6
 
This why im asking, i have heard so many conflicting views on this. I dont really want to try and look like an idiot but i have had someone tell me the same thing like Komodo, they only have 12.6 under the possession column but the purchased that class???? Im confused
 
12/3 cannot be grandfathered anymore, you cannot inherit a 12/3 firearm. if you have 12/3 you can buy all you like. 12/6 is the only one that allows for inheritance, and it has to be pre 1946. I don't know how to hotlink, but look up rcmp prohibited firearms, and it lists exceptions to grandfathering. They seem to have eliminated 12/7 altogether, but says you can inherit pre 46 firearms, but cannot purchase 12/6 firearms. It doesn't get plainer than that
 
What's unclear here is did you inherit your 12(6) firearm or did you buy it prior to the change in status of some firearms in 1996. As trebor2880 said call the CFO if you owned it before the changes in 1996. If you inherited it your SOL as far as acquiring any more yourself.
 
Section 12(7) of the Firearms Act is a clause permitting certain related individuals of Licensed owners of certain Prohibited hand-guns to be themselves grandfathered for Possession of those guns. It is not a Class of fire-arms; the Class is 12(6), actually 12(6.1), more properly only limited (pre-1946 manufacture) 12(6.1) hand-guns.

Given that, the CFC does not print Licences with 12(7) on them; rather they put 12(6) under the applicable headings of Acquisition and/or Possession.

OP, do you have a PAL or a POL? Did you inherit a pre-1946 12(6.1) from a relative after 1 December, 1998? Or did you own a 12(6.1) of any type yourself on, and continually since, 01-12-98?

If you have a living direct relative (parent or grand-parent, sibling, or spouse), with a PAL with 12(6) endorsement, that person can buy documented pre-1946 Prohibited hand-guns and pass them on to you, without dying and going through the estate, as well as after death.

The most certain way to find out what they will permit you to do, is to attempt to Transfer one to you. If you are of the opinion that you should be able to Acquire, and they believe you may only Possess, you will find out quickly, and at that point you can consider whether and how to proceed. If you *know* that you were not grandfathered yourself in December of '98, you shouldn't be able to Acquire any more directly, but who knows, maybe their system has a mistake and will let you do it anyway?
 
i want to know who the ass was who dictatorially decided on 1946. did he just say "oh this will really piss them off" or is there actually a logical reason for it. my dad has a real nice hi standard sentinal nickle plated .22 with a 4" barrel. real pretty gun and apparently real threatening with that 1/8 inch to short barrel, but unfortunatly not pre 1946. what a totally stupid rule.
 
AFAIK....

The reason for pre 1946 only, is to cover war souvenirs.
War ended 1945,
