bc transfer time
- Thread starter got_ammo?
- Start date
Why we need a LTATT when we already have a PAL Restricted License is beyond me....it serves no safety purpose what-so-ever...just a make work effort for the CFO's
funny how it says gunsmiths on the LTATT but when I bought a pistol from a gunsmith I even had to get a separate STATT, pretty freakin idiotic.
Isnt there some way to do a personal transfer at the range though?

I'd encourage everyone to send in a complaint to cfp-pcaf@rcmp-grc.gc.ca and CC:
The more emails/letters we send the more likely it is that somebody will notice.
Transfers should be approved within a few hours according to the CFP website: hxxp://www.rcmp.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/facts-faits/index-eng.htm
- Your MP (regardless of party)
- vic.toews@parl.gc.ca
- cheryl.gallant@parl.gc.ca (who is collecting the CFO petition)
- info@cdnshootingsports.org
- info@nfa.ca

Asked CFO the same question... their explanation (like it or not) was that the restricted "gun" has never been to my house before, thus LTATT would not applied until the "gun" has been stored in my house for the first time. Once it has been stored at my house, then LTATT would apply... go figure !
That's just about the worst BS I've ever heard. But the fact is, they approve the STATT at the same time they approve the transfer. I really doubt they would process your transfer any faster if you didn't need an STATT just because you were buying from a licensed gunsmith.
It's almost like there is a certain amount of delay built into the system that must be met! For years 3 days was the norm for a resticted transfer in BC and Other provinces complained about long waits..... now we are waiting for a month and other provinces are getting the 3 day treatment.
It's a good think the BC office has all the extra outside help for the last 6 months!

I just bought a G19 FDE Gen 4and the transfer was initiated last Friday - let's see if I get the 2 day treatment. I am guessing we got these from the same dealer.
Email sent and follow up phone call will be made to my MP tomorrow.
We'll see if the email helps me or slows it down even more.

I think it is important that we don't stop complaining when our transfers get approved. I suspect that they are trying to minimize complaints by just doing the transfers of the people who make a fuss. But that doesn't excuse their delays.
It is completely reasonable for us to demand that transfers be completed within a few hours. That is how long the CFP website says it should take.
If we let them get away with just greasing the squeaky wheels, then things won't improve. We'll end up needing to make a bunch of phone calls and threaten complaints every time we want something done within a reasonable amount of time. We need to push for a real solution.

I tried something similar, didn't get anywhere. Tried the gunstore line and was told that "businesses have more priority because they are pushing a product out the door" What crap. Told her I wanted the CFO email, and I got it. Guess I can CC my compalint to the cfo aswell.
