ATT's what you need to know

[dajoker]

I just had an amazing thing happen here from the BC/Yukon office.

On Sunday night my son with my help faxed in his first ATT application.

In todays mail "Yes thats right only 3 days later" his completed ATT arrived in the mail...

D*mn I love BC it is the BEST PLACE ON EARTH...

I don't know... Alberta is pretty good too. I purchased my first pistol last week. Yesterday morning I called the CFO in Alberta to request a LT ATT, no need to fax it in here a phone call is good enough. I checked my mail when I got home from work today and guess what was in my mailbox?!? Yup, my LTATT. Basically 24 hours from my phone call to getting it in my hands!

Quick question,

Someone told me that in ontario they changed the method that you can get a firearm. I got my restricted license and now plan on buying a handgun. Someone said that they don't issue temp att's anymore?? Is this true?

 

[Rebel Till Death]

they still issue temp att's

btw, does anyone know whats taking so long with my perm att. its been like two weeks already

 

[mackattack]

question for B.C. - Mike K:
in an above post there is mention of the need to join a club before the long range ATT is granted. However, is stating the intended club sufficient or how about "all approved ranges"? Can you clarify this at all, I'm confused. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

I'm in BC. I recently renewed my long term ATT.
I was required to show proof of current membership, which I did by faxing a copy of my membership card showing the relevant dates.

The long term ATT is now required in BC before restricted transfers take place.

here's a question:

http://www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca/online-en_ligne/form-assistance/indiv_forms/679_e.asp

On the ATT sheet, it requests the registration information of the firearms you wish to transport. If you don't have any registered to you, and you need the ATT to do so...?

 

[Halger280HVMag]

My LTATT simply states that it is valid for ANY restricted firearms that I have the registration for.

My own or other people's restricted or other classes covered by my RPAL, that may be on loan to me for example.

In BC that part of the form is left blank.

Me too, I had to fax a copy of my club registration and temp member card along with the LTATT form. I also had a restricted transfer denied because my LTATT hasn't been approved yet.

I bought my 2nd handgun, and after completing the transfer, I got reconnected to get my ATT. I was told my first ATT is valid for both the guns, until it expires, in 2011. I was also told that the rules about the ATT have changed since I got mine, but don't apply to me until I have to renew it. I asked what the new rules are, and was told, along with the ATT papers, I get a paper that lists all the ranges I'm allowed to go to... So for now I can go to all approved ranges, but later on, I'll be able to go only to the ones they approve. Aren't all approved ranges supposed to be approved? Has anyone heard anything about this??

Just curious what the current rules are regarding restricted transfers in Alberta.

It would be my first restricted (if that makes a difference). Do they require you to have your LTATT before the transfer is approved, and hence, a club membership, or is it still possible to buy a restricted and complete the transfer with just the temp ATT to take it home before getting a LTATT, and hence, no club membership required when only buying a restricted?

You will need to have a copy of your club membership faxed to the CFO's office in Alberta before the transfer will be approved. They will give you a temp ATT to take it home. The LTATT can be asked for over the phone.

Sent in my info on the 17th yesterday for an ATT and an hour later bought a new S&W M&P 9mm. 4 hrs later I got a call ref the new gun that they couldnt register it as I didn't have proof of a club membership. I called her today and I told her that I just sent it in and she asked if I could fax it in again to her and she would take care of it. By noon taday new gun was registered, ATT to take it home on Thursday ( the only day I could get leave) was faxed to me and the new LT ATT was going to be in the mail in an hr or 2 when they do the mail run. I have had over 20 l;ong gun transfers since inheriting 13 rifles this summer and selling some and the worse situation was lisitining to the LSD influenced music while on hold.

Geee... I'm getting my first restricted, I don't belong to any club, when the rep ask me if i'm getting it for target shooting or i'm a colector, I told that I’m a collector... some idiot friend told me to do so...do I have to get a collector license right now, if so is there is a charge for it? I’m in Ontario. Why should I do now?

A policy change occurred in June 2007 in BC. Effective as of then, you must become a member of an "Approved Gun or Shooting Club" before applying for an ATT. You must attach a copy of your membership card to you ATT application. The application & attachments may be faxed.

RE: ONTARIO
I am planning to buy a handgun this year and will likely buy at Epps. I have an RPAL but have not as yet renewed my club membership. What I would like to try is this.
Buy the handgun.
Actually go to the CFO's office in Orillia and present my application for a Long term ATT. (I had one a couple of years ago that the CFO did not renew since I did not own a handgun at the time). Ask them to process the application while I wait for it.

Quebec - Renewals...

Anyone going to post from Quebec?

No issues until now I guess.

Not an issue just info...

Quebec CFO will only sent out renewal ATT's 30 days before expiry.

So if you renew your club membership early and send in your ATT early, that will explain why you don't get them in the mail right away.

I don't know about Ontario ATT's and the CFO. But with regards to buying any Restricted firearm...

You can buy anything you want but your retailer will not be able to initiate the transfer until you have a club membership. They need that info for the CFC, not the CFO when they do the initial transfer.

So basically you're going to have to join or renew a club first because if there is no firearm registered, then there is no ATT to apply for. For your second or third, you don't need another ATT for your club since it covers "All Restricted firearms registered" to your name, which I believe is the same on Ontario as is Quebec.

Ontario should be the same as Quebec where they will send your temporary ATT (to take your gun home and only to your home) directly to the CFC in Miramachi NB. It's the CFC not the CFO who sends it along with your Transfer Notification paper which is the temporary registration number.

Ontario should also give you at least a week or two to pick it up, like Quebec does. Here I think it's valid for 30 days.

You then need your permanent registration (again sent by the CFC) to get your regular ATT for the club.

Sometimes with a second and subsiquent guns we have a few days delay from the gun arriving by post or picking up until we get our permanent registrations. Only then can actually take it to the club. But at least we don't have to apply for another ATT until it's time to renew.

You in Ontario also don't have to apply for a new ATT if you join two or more clubs which you are lucky.

Also, Epps holds guns for 60 or 90 days so make sure you're set to pay your dues before that time period is up. Maybe they will hold it longer but you're going to have to discuss that with them. They are nice people there but they are also a business so...

ATT (Ontario) gun-specific?

I've read most of this thread but I haven't found an answer to this question: Are club-arranged ATTs gun-specific? I was under the impression they were, but I've been reading posts by Ontarians saying they were taking their brand new gun to the range only days after the transfer went through. I was under the impression you needed to apply for a new club-ATT for every new gun you buy. Am I wrong?
