Can a store keep my fully transferred handgun from me

Wouldn’t the next move be up to the CFO ?

If the gun was sold for $1000 shipped,and I paid you.. We’ll it’s now on you to ship my now registered gun.
You just can’t keep it can ya?
 
Op, if you have all the documentation to prove your case I would pay them what they’re asking for , get the firearm in your possession and then look into a small claims court settlement. That’s if you have the spare time and energy to go through with it. They seem to have lots of time to put you off now so it’s in your best interest to settle things now and then take them to task.

It will be time to go read the fine print about free shipping. When did they terminate the free shipping ? Is your invoice state free shipping ?
Take the time to research it. You have to make sure about what you claim. But in the mean time, I will pay and get my gun…by the way how much is it ? Is it worth the trouble ???

Agreed, seems logical that next step is an administrative decision of sorts. Everytime I read this thread the story becomes more interesting from a firearms law perspective
 
It's concerning that this could become an issue for many thousands of us.
I certainly do not envy the situation many vendors may find themselves in months from now when they can finally ship these firearms delayed solely by government sloth.

A vendor with a 1000 sold handguns stacked up with say, $20 shipping, costs them $30 when they can finally ship could be a big issue for some.
It may only be $10 for us, but could add up to serious money for an operation already running with a slim margin.
Plus the money loss vendors will encounter by no longer being allowed to sell handguns.
What a s**t show this useless liberal government has deliberately created for everyone.

If a vendor has thousands of handguns to ship, then they should be able to apply for specialty flat rate pricing through Canada post and a few of the other carriers. My buddy owns a car part business, and they are able to ship any and all parts for a flat 15 fee. I can't see why a gun retailer can't do the same.

Well now that I have confirmed their lies and threats are completely false and they cannot do what they threatened to do unless I comply with their extortion they have a gun not registered to them that they cannot do anything with besides sending it to me, I will have to see how they respond to having me prove they were straight up lying and they cannot do what they threatened to do. So I will wait to see what their next response will be

They can't sell it but that doesn't mean they'll ship it either.

...and still curious how much extra they wanted?
 
You did your part when you paid for the firearm. You fulfilled your end of the contract. The firearm is legally in your possession but not physically. Don't let them bend you over the knee.

If it was me and they didn't want to release the firearm. I would have reported it stolen from the jump.

You're like the 3rd person to post this nonsense. At best you'd get laughed at for trying this stupid stunt. At worst they'd charge you with mischief for making false statements.

Nobody stole anything.

The gun was never in his possession. Its at the store, waiting for him to pick it up any time he wants.
 
I am confused and wonder if you can clarify. Individuals and retailers can initiate a new transfer without the explicit approval of the firearm registration certificate owner, after a transfer has been approved and completed and certificate issued?

Or do you mean reversing a transfer yet to be approved by the CFO?

I have had a situation where a transfer was completed and it was reversed by the other party. The seller (private) had transferred me the wrong gun by accident. Transfer was approved, then he noticed the mistake, called in and had it reversed and initiated the proper one. I was a bit disturbed by this, but ultimately it was what needed to be done anyways and the guy refunded part of my money for the screwup without me even asking so I didn't make a big deal out of it. So for a week or two legally I was the owner of a Shadow 2.
 
I'm glad the OP is sticking to his guns. Regardless of the additional cost to ship, the entire transaction is complete as agreed upon. Changes at the store level post transaction are their responsibility, not the OP's. I would be very hesitant to report it as stolen as I wouldn't expect the RCMP to go out of their way to ship it either should they confiscate it. Hopefully the store does the right thing and comes through sooner rather than later.
 
Shipping really did go up. A small package was something like $14, now it's low $20's. Most of my small outgoing stuff is now going out in pre paid 《5kg $20 boxes.

Obviously the retailer has had their costs go up substantially. Still no excuse, a contract was agreed upon, binding them to their price. I'm pretty sure they had the gun and the OP's money both for months, so financial gain to offset some shipping.

If this happened to me, I would be contacting RCMP. They are in possession of a very controlled item, potentially illegally. I'd name them, and never deal there again.
 
From what I can see, the new shipping charge is only $10. If that is really what we are talking about here, they should definitely cover that. They have probably wasted far more money in wages trying to fight you and further damaged their reputation on the site which costs as well.

The situation i was referring to was obviously very different as it was mutual, but I was surprised the full transfer process could be reversed without my direct written / phone consent. Maybe the retailer just needed to attest to it. I imagine in this case they would not be stupid enough to try reversing it. It probably helps that you called the CFO. Hope they have a record.
 
up to the time the buyer is taking physical possesion of a restricted firearms the owner (store or private) can do whatever they want and even a complaint to rcmp may not work ...

So what your saying is the store can legally transfer the firearm back to themselves?

According to the CFO agent and business CFO agent I had conversations with yesterday once they have transferred the handgun into my name it is legally registered to me and I would have to agree if the wanted to reverse it. Even if Tenda were to try to cancel the sale and refund the money the handgun would still be legally registered to me and require me to approve a transfer which I will not do.

The issue is they were using the threat of reversing the sale and reselling my handgun unless I gave them more money. Now that I have confirmed they cannot do that and were straight up lying and threatening an action they cannot do. They thought they could threaten me and I would just get down on my knees and just accept their demands which is what really pissed me off, this is not the first time they have done stupid stuff like this to me and judging by how many people have figured it was Tenda long before I mentioned their name it is something they regularly do and it seem they are used to people just accepting their demands so I am going to hold out for the principal of the matter because I don't like to be bullied by idiots who yes one time cancelled my order of barnes 110gr reloading bullets saying they were hazardous explosive devices that cannot be shipped in Canada. That argument lasted 4 days with them eventually canceling the order saying there is no shipping to Alberta in Canada.

So I have responded to them giving them the name of the Ontario CFO I talked to and the business CFO who told me they cannot unregister my handgun as it is my legal property according to the registration and Tenda who had no problems responding multiple times already to threaten me they were going to resell my gun if I don't give them more money have not responded since so I await their response to see if they have decided to have a discussion instead of threatening me
