antique handguns and section 90

So in Calgary we have a group called Guns of the Golden West, they do reneactments and stage shootouts. The guy I talked to had a an old .41 Colt, antique and he wore it no problem and participated in a staged shootout at Olympic Plaza. I believe all the reecators were using antqiues. Plenty of police around.

Here in Nanaimo, we have a blanket permit to fire blank charges within the city for various public affairs. The catch is that it has to be an activity sanctioned by our fish and game club (of which we are members) and we have to notify the police 1 week in advance.

Bottom line is that while there was public shooting of blanks in Calgary, the police almost certainly would have been notified. For a person to walk through town unannounced with a gun on their hip or anywhere else for that matter, there would be an extremely different outcome.

No question it is sanctioned. Always fun to witness.
 
ok like i said before im talking about wood's/farm carry i help a few farmers out here and it seems that every time i leave the shotgun in the truck a dam wolf/coyote pops out ive had to many close calls for me to say that a handgun on the hip would not help

from what ive heard you can shoot a antique pistol anywhere you shoot a rifle or shotgun.

now from what i read i sould be ok as long as i have the rcmp letter what the worse thay can do take me to court lol

im the kind to stand up for my rights unlike most canadians that seem to run with there tails between there lags

with the rcmp letter(im going to get mine laminated) and carrying it in a holster outside and in the open im legal

oh and i go camping now and then in northern ontario as well as hunting in northern ontario so bear defence is a must

but on a side note im looking at getting a mare's leg rifle/pistol (or a rossi ranch hand) soon there both non restricted so can carry them like a normal rifle

This is going in the "Dumbest Post Ever" thread in the OT forum for sure!

Do a little research before you post. FFS

With respect you are indeed incorrect. No ATT or ATC are required for a prescribed antique handgun. The transportation regulations only require the handgun be unloaded and locked in a sturdy opaque container. No trigger lock is required. If you are transporting your antique firearms and need to leave them unattended, leave them in your vehicle’s locked trunk or similar compartment. If your vehicle does not have a trunk or compartment, lock the vehicle and leave the antique firearms inside and out of sight(which it presumably would be in a locked opaque container).

If not in transport, storage/display rules only require that the firearm be unloaded. It does not need to be secured otherwise, i.e. no trigger lock or no other "safe storage" is required. You can stick the in your wife's curio cabinet, the law don't care. Needless to say your wife might care.

Please refer to the forum stickies for further clarification, links to the regulation, etc.
I will do you favor and get you started. http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/antique-historique-eng.htm

While I endorse maintaining our full freedom of the law, there is also the context of acting responsibly. Yes, some people take antiques in the bush for fun, however they are, with the exception of some very built up, rebuilt and modified antiques, for the purpose of being shot recreationally, as very few antiques are suited for open carry and actual deliberate use. As such, carrying them in public places where people are likely to be found, especially in closer proximity to people who are unused to such things, is generally done to snub one's nose at the police. While I believe that when our legal rights are infringed on (charges for having an "unregistered" antique) we should hire a lawyer and defend the case, I certainly don't believe that we should provoke the police either, as they're universally poorly informed and likely to raise a massive stink that would include newspapers, and part of our having the right to own antiques is our continued responsible use of them.

I've handled and owned enough antiques to come to the conclusion that if I need something light and carryable for actual use, I'll carry a short shotgun on a sling for 1/3 of the price of the cheapest useable antique in 44 or 45 caliber.

Making a big deal about the whole thing implies that your interest to carry is more for ego/attention reasons than for quiet, unoffending enjoyment, which is all we have them for.
 
well im looking in to a mare's leg pistol me and the guy's on cast bollits said it would be best to carry a non restricted gun for protection in the woods

i dont think i'll carry a antique pistol for anything anyway its a piece of history that should only be used as such
 
Get the mare's leg, put a carbine buttstock on it, make it much more useful and effective. For what you want .44 Magnum would be much better than .45 Colt.
