There has been a problem with getting my LTATT application completed due to bad faxes. As I've recently purchased 2 restricted firearms, the B.C. CFO sent me two packages full of applications and letters. The first package contained another ATT application and an application for transfer of restricted firearms for part of a collection. Like an idiot I filled them both out and sent them in with another copy of my club membership. This was three days ago. Now I'm not happy because I now realize I don't want or need collector status at all and certainly don't want to be subject to inspections. I can't believe I signed that and sent it in but was in a hurry and thought it was a requirement being a bright green n00b. I'm freaking a bit actually...

Is it just a matter of calling my CFO's office on Tuesday and indicating I do not want collector status and to disregard this application or am I now committed and screwed?

Thanks very much for any comments.
 
And... you are still subject to inspections. Whether you allow then to occur without a warrant is another thing, but you are subject to inspections, just like the rest of us.
 
"...I can't believe I signed..." Hi. Relax. BS baffles the best of brains. BS in colour works better. A phone call should get it sorted out.
There are very specific rules in the FA about inspections too. Nothing to worry about.
 
Thank-you all for your replies and for not rubbing my nose in my own stupidity too badly.

Best regards
 
"'...for not rubbing my nose in my own stupidity..." ABCDE, my brother, paperwork errors are just that, paperwork errors. Doesn't make you unsafe on a range. There isn't a single shooter here that cares about anything else.
Helping you get into shooting is far more important, including letting you shoot their firearms. Most shooters are just like that. They'll bend over backwards to help a new guy. A new guy with a brain is a bonus.
Now, where are you and what kind of shooting help do you need/want? It's your's for the asking.

You guys are too kind.

Actually, I have no trouble handling machinery, learning about it's function and handling, safety is a priority above all as I've been involved in the health and safety field for decades. I take the responsibility of owning firearms and safety in storing/handling/discharging them extremely seriously.

The problems I'm having getting into this hobby is all paperwork/sequences of events oriented. I realize getting my first restricted firearm is probably a larger hurdle initially but I'm finding it confusing. There seems to be more than one story on occasion depending on who one asks/reads... As you say, perhaps by design. Filling out paperwork, calling my CFO with what must sound like stupid questions, trying to navigate the system and trying to actually acquire a restricted firearm is proving interesting to say the least. I'm actually wondering whether I made the right decision getting into it at all at this point.

Two questions if I may please:

I purchased a revolver from a local shop three weeks ago and they still have had no word on a STATT so I can take it home while my LTATT is being processed. Do I actually need to request a STATT myself or is the shop contacted on my behalf to pick-up as was seemingly implied?

I purchased a restricted rifle from one of the board sponsors out East and it is currently being sent via Canada Post. The company said I will not need an STATT to go and pick it up at the post office and bring it home but I know I have a rifle coming despite it being in an unmarked package, etc. Would it be prudent to request a STATT from the CFO to bring it home when I see it's arrived with my tracking number/get notice of delivery? I haven't even acquired my first restricted firearm yet and am already concerned with the ability to actually get my hands on it/them and being subject to firearms offenses.

Thanks for all your generosity and any further comments!

BTW, I reside in the Lower Mainland and am a new member of the PCDHFC.

You have to phone your CFO and arrange for a STATT.

Again you will have to phone your CFO for a STATT as the rifle is restricted.
 
Yup; a STATT is required by the BC CFO to get a restricted home from the Post Office. Doesn't matter if you already have a LTATT to go back & forth to matches all over western Canada, you need another blessed piece of paper to get from the PO to your front door. Even if it was riding around in a CPO truck driven by a guy with no PAL for two days before you picked it up.
 
Getting my restricted weapons class seems a little more far off now. What beurocratic b.s. I will stick to NR for now.. It just doesnt seem to make much sense going through all that trouble just to shoot at paper targets in a confined indoor range.*yawn*, boring!

And another Canadian gun owner allows the system to defeat him.

btw, I very much enjoy shooting my CZ Shadow 9mm outdoors at my club's 50m range, at either paper targets or gongs. It's also very rewarding learning to handload for my toys, too.
Boring? wtf?
