Age of youngest 12-6 licence holder?
- Thread starter tcr44
- Start date
I'd say 40 would be absolute youngest. I believe 1997 was the "in between time" when someone could have bought one and still been grandfathered. The age then was 18 to buy a restricted firearm.
(oh snap.....post 1,500 for me!)
Thanks , so meaning probably no one born after 1979. ( Congrats on your 1500)

Grandfather date for 12(6) was December 1, 1998, so someone born November 30, 1980 could theoretically have a 12(6). That person would be 38 years old today.
Yes . Now someone with 12-7 (owner of a prohib that was inherited , and not allowed to purchase a 12-6 firearm ) could be younger. Am I right ?
yes

Prolonged confiscation is all it its
Delayed confiscation with out compensation - is how we know we live in an elected dictatorship.
Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms grants no right to own property.

Sounds like an effective way to light money on fire.
Not a bit.

i cant remember what happened back back right before the law came in i was at the gun club and someone mentioned that they where gonna be stopping us from getting the small pistols but it hadnt come in yet.
so a bunch of us went down and purchased these small little pistols to get ourselves into the grandfathered class.
i was in my early 20's so i thought it would be worthwhile to have that access.
purchased the pistol and got the white and green certificate all was good.
was a long while later i received a letter from the RCMP that i had missed the cut off date by a bit so i had to come turn in my pistol.
i cant recall the timeline but i seemed to recall it was a good while between when i purchased and got my certificate and them requesting i turn it it.
hell, i remember i moved from the city back out to the country and had my place of residence changed.
a year maybe?
it always ticked me off when i think they just picked some random date and i missed it by a couple days or i would have my 12-6.
kinda miss that little 32auto as well, was cute.
just dug out my Restricted Weapon Registration Certificate and it was issued March 1997.
also just found the paperwork informing me i had to turn in my pistol, dated November 2005.
so for 8 years i had that pistol before they decided to slap down some random cut off date and i didnt make the cut.
