My Father-in-law passed away and left me his firearms. I have never really seen them before other than his main hunting rifle? He wasn't one to talk shop about firearms. His wife is still alive and is totally in agreement that I should have them, so my wife and I went to her parents place today to bring them home and when I opened his gun cabinet there where some hunting rifles and shotguns but to my surprise there is also a 22lr revolver. My PAL is good for restricted firearms, but I don't own any and Im not familiar with how to transfer it to me. I left it locked in the gun cabinet at the in-laws as I realize there are transportation laws surrounding restricted firearms.

He had it registered and everything was done correctly as far as storage.

What are the steps I need to follow to have this firearm transferred to my name and legally move it to my home?

I really appreciate any advice on this subject.
 
You need the executor to call the CFC with the reg cert number and the owner's RPAL number. I'd imagine that the CFC will have procedures regarding the estate disposition of firearms. The executor then initiates a transfer giving your name, address and RPAL number. They (CFC) give the executor a reference number, then they (CFC) call you and confirm the info and the CFO confirms the transfer and authorizes the exchange. You'll need a short term ATT to bring the gun home, and it will need to be transported with a trigger lock applied, and in a locked container.
 
Your options are target shooter ( have to join a range ) or collector ( best bet if your not going to be shooting it and the gun will be stored as a safe queen ). If you join a range ask for a ltatt so you don't have to call in a att everytime you want to take it to a range.
 
Dont go collector.

Just state it is for target shooting, there is no law stating you need to be a member of a range to own restricted. They may demand range membership if you apply for a long term auth to transport.

Exactly.. Just tell them you plan to pay day rate at the range every once in a while.

They probably won't issue you a LTATT, so you will need to call for a SATT every time you want to shoot.
