Can I still sell my CZ SP-01 Shadowline 9mm in Canada?

You can't easily sell it or even give it away because no handgun transfers have been approved since October 2022 (except a few very specialized circumstances. That is the so-called handgun freeze. You can theoretically lend it to another RPAL holder, even a long-term loan, if for some reason you don't want it in your possession. Most people would not give up a handgun at this point because you may never have a chance to acquire one again in Canada.

Giving away is super easy - he can give it away to me and the transfer will be approved. I just don't need a SP-01 enough to buy one...

In all seriousness if he wants to get rid of a handgun I'm not going to question his motives, just try to help to the best of my knowledge. There are lots of new shooters hoping to be able to borrow a handgun though that still requires that he maintain his license...

Or he can send it to an auction to sell for him - lots of options, just no good ones for buyers.

Just curious how it would be transferred to you. Are you a dealer? I know that Olympic shooters and Wildlife ATC are 2 of the exemptions for buying handguns but provinces have restrictions on what firearms are suitable for Wildlife defense etc. and I assumed Olympic shooters would need a .22 pistol? Genuinely curious if there are other avenues. Thanks

You mean the test that so easy a blind retarded monkey could pass. Heck I just challenged my PAL back in the day. I wasnt about to waste time taking that stupid course.

And some people dont waste time jerking each other off on a forum and wouldn't know about half these stupid new laws.

Imagine thinking having a PAL makes you better than the guy without one... lol....
 
Thanks for the hazing & the help lol

I come from a long line of gun owners/collectors. I was in line to receive a large number of very cool & exclusive prohibs until my Dad & I both failed to heed the advice of our RCMP officer cousin when one could easily attain a prohib license so they were all destroyed. With my kids, my businesses, my hobbies, & travel, I haven't been shooting for nearly 7 years & figured I'd rather just have the few thousand dollars they "would be" worth if I could sell them at market value. Leasing them out OR selling them at this point won't accomplish that, AND your point is very well taken that this is a fork in the road that there may be no returning from. So? I'll be keeping them. Reminds me I should pull them out, oil them, shoot them, clean them, & put them back for another 7 years lol. Thanks everyone 🙏
 
I got a CZ TT57 7.62 with an approved CFO transfer from a close friend of my, He was very inactive with shooting in recent years and he doesn't want it back.
Only drawback is renewing the transfer like every six months until some more positive change in FRT comes in effect.
So technically OP can make someone happy with a new toy.

Too late for you but perhaps someone will see it and it will help. Those prohibs sell for very good money at auction still. They did not have to be destroyed.

That has me thinking….. who would like to “lease” a handgun for 6 months? Is there anything in the Firearms Act that prohibits taking payment for loaning out a firearm?

So your brilliant plan is to lend a gun registered to you, to a stranger? Apply a few brain cells to that idea and get back to us, as to why it is a SPECTACULARLY bad idea.

Other than loss or damage, what's the difference between a long-term lend and sale to a stranger.

If the PAL is valid for the class and all lending/borrowing rules, regs and laws are followed what's the problem?

There are people doing it. It is legal. CFO approves it, though they limit this lending to 6 months.

The only issue I can think of is that the lender must maintain his license. If he lets it expire or dies, the lendee will lose the handgun as the registration certificate will become expired.

Two interesting things that came out of morr people lending is the 6mo limit that didn't exist before and the explicit prohibition of taking handguns taken for 'safe storage' to the range by individuals storing.

You couldn't sell it for what you want. As CFO could deny extending the borrowing. Thus having to give the money back.

You lease a F150 from Ford, Ford is still the owner, but who is liable if you crash and kill someone... Not Ford. There is insurance for this and before loaning/leasing I would make sure that the lessee has the proper license and insurance. And of course the approval from the CFO for the stated 6 month term.
