are there still full auto licence holders in Canada? or what has happened to them anyone know? I'm curious if any of them still exist. used to go the the wardlow alta FA shoot every year. I know that was a long time ago, but now I'm wondering about the guys that had the FA stuff. what is the current situation? what is the class of those firearms?
 
12.2 I think. There are definitely people who hold that license still around. A FA Sten gun sold at an online auction i was watching this morning. I believe the big problem is that they are no longer permitted to be taken to the range.
 
yes many of them several at my club but they cant shoot them for years since they revoked/refused to issue the SAP permits to transport them another 20-30 years or so they will all be gone as 1978 (IIRC) was the year they were grandfathered
 
Key dates are 1978 was the last date you could acquire that licence (so the youngest that a full auto owner could be is 58). 1998 or so the law changed to prevent anyone who owned a prohibited firearm (other than a 12.6) from bringing it to the range.

Basically they can acquire them, sell them, and bring them to a gun smith but are unable to fire those firearms. Really quite a sad state to be in.
 
C10A passed in 2005 and that is when the issuing of SAP's was ended. 12(2), 12(3), 12(4) and 12(5) guns have been imprisoned ever since.

Dec 31 1978 was the last day that you could register FA guns. British Columbia Attorney Generals Office didn't allow them for years until the Court made them, they held off until the last three weeks of December 1978! There was no support from the Canadian or BC firearms community in dealing with this issue! Everyone didn't think this was an issue! Now we have all the various classifications that people can't be part of! It is only going to get harder

I believe you mean December 31st, 1977. January 1st, 1978 was the final "register by" date.
 
There are under 500 people in the FA class . There are a couple of legal ways for these people to get there firearms to a range for shooting.
There are under 2500 people in the converted auto class .

Now you just have to convince Quebec of that, they just got another astronomical bribe with the extension of the equalization formula. :confused:
