Call to CFC

I understand your point. In an economically depressed town, most people don't have a lot of room to make a financial mistake so making a bold move (in or out of the town) is scary. So it's understandable that most will stay and suck off a government cheque even if it means doing work that is largely useless bureaucracy. With a smile.

Question... So at what point does the minion of the failing system need to take responsibility for the role they play? Some say never.

It's different when it's private employment. Privately employed smiling deadwood doesn't have 1) a mandate to serve the public, and 2) a paycheque written out of the public's bank accounts.

In her situation, I say she has no resonability whatsoever. She didn't draft the legislation or put it into law. I say kudos to her for choosing to work over EI.

Without knowing "her situation", I can't tell if the CFC-vs-EI choice is a real or false dichotomy.

As far as customer service goes, there are a lot of gun shops and mail-order warehouses that could take a lesson from them. I'd rather talk to some of the ladies at the CFC than try and talk to someone at LeBaron.:rolleyes:

Theres a beautiful blond wearing white calf length leather boots at Le baron Ottawa. You might be happy to talk to her.

I din't make too good an impresion on her unfortunately. :(
 
I have hated the registery since day one but how would the EE work without it?

It's not the people that work there's falt that we have one, there are many govenment jobs I don't agree with but I don't dislike the people that do the work.

I have had some excellent conversations with these ladies. They are polite, friendy, helpful and even show soem empathy and initiative.

One warned me that since i had 12.6 I should be very careful about renewing my RPAL because if it lapses i lose my status and can't get it back.

I am hard pressed to think of any other outrfit that has so many outstanding phone people.

Too bad they are wasting our time and money to accomplish nothing...

I dislike the CFC mainly for what it stands for, the whole registry system. That said, the people I've dealt with have been for the most part decent.

Except when you have to go dig out the tape measure and a cleaning rod. Really, does barrel length change that often all by itself??
 
I have spoken with quite a few of the reps of the CFC, either buying or selling some sort of firearm. All of them, without fail, have been courteous and helpful. With kind words these inconveniences have turned out perfectly.
Kudos to the folks at the CFC call centre, regardless of your politics and/or beliefs.
 
Getting back to the point.

SuperCub,
thanks for letting us know that we are respected and appreciated by the ladies of the registry.
 
Lets all cut the crap here, shall we?

Time for being either naive or in denial is over......

We all KNOW why this system was created and we all KNOW exactly where it is rapidly heading.

The problem is not the people on either end of the phone and we all know that as well. FOR THE MOST PART Cdn gun owners and CFC people alike are good people. We are responsible on our end and they are just doing their jobs to feed their families on their end. Nothing more needs to be said.

The problem is SYSTEMIC. It was created by a group of people with a very real and very negative agenda. Politicians are only front men for these people and its time to get your heads out of that dark place concerning this issue.

These people need a special kind of voting out and we all know it.

Stop debating. Stop the feel good bull****. Get right to the point.

They have been logging/tracking us and we all know its coming to a head in the not too distant future.

Artie,
Unfortunately I'm not sure that everyone does know where its heading. Otherwise I would expect more efforts to counter it.

Tracking is a very general term. I think its scares a lot of people form accepting your post. Rock On! :D

Most of my experiences with them have been excellent. The only time I've had issues are trying to register wildcats. If you really want to confuse the system, tell them you have a:

You: "I have an (insert wildcat calibre here) built on a Mauser action"
CFC: "So it's a Mauser?"
You: Yes
CFC: We don't have that calibre listed, sir
Y: It's a wildcat.
CFC: So it's a sporter?
Y: Um, sure?
CFC: So it's not a Mauser?
Y: It's built using a k98 mauser action.
CFC: So it's a k98?
Y: No, it has that action.
CFC: What calibre is it again?
Y: (insert wildcat here)
CFC: Well no k98 has that calibre.
Y: Well it's not a Mauser. It's built on a mauser action. It's a wildcat, and that calibre is what's stamped on the barrel
CFC: So it's not a Mauser? It's a "Wildcat"?
Y: No, it's built on a Mauser.
CFC: We have no mauser k98 with that calibre in the system, sir
Y: ...

It was a very entertaining conversation. But I find as long as you are patient, usually the ladies are helpful and polite.

Why didn't you have it verified before you called CFC?

It's easier to do it over the phone. The rifle I registered was the same cartridge as Hansol did [375 Taylor]. They did ask a few more questions, but I was still able to do w/o having to go to a verifier.
