Can we still legally lend a Restricted handgun to a friend with an RPAL?

[fwm]

Yup, all that extra paperwork saves lives and stops crimes. - dan

For sure. I still don’t understand how they can’t track drive by shooters by their STATT. Must be typical Liberal incompetence

I was in touch with AB CFO a few months ago about setting up a lending/borrowing arrangement and was told that they've received a flood of such requests and have decided to not approve any until they could systematically evaluate the situation. The worry is that people may rent out their handguns to strangers over the internet which may pose risks to public safety.

You gotta wonder just where these idiots come from. If you can think of a problem they have already thought of it. Stupid TEA. THEY think WE are the ones that are driving around with loaded handguns shooting up the streets and killing babies! YES FFS. We have permits to own, transport and store. EVERY RPAL holder is licensed to be in possion of a handgun . His ATT says he can, within the Province he lives in..

They only want to stop the legal guns , because the illegal ones makes no financial sense.
Way more money floating around with illegal ones.
Safety got nothing to do with it

Has this changed?View attachment 714582

Don’t think it’s changed. When transfers were takeing forever before the transfer deadline last summer, I sent an email to the ON CFO telling them I was going to lend a restricted. I didn’t ask their permission as it’s a legal option. They asked why and I told them the transfer was taking too long and I was scheduled for a medical operation soon and that’s why. They immediately said they would complete the transfer that day. I was just testing the waters but it got the reaction that I was fine with.

I haven’t been able to get through to an actual person to ask how it all works, so I did an online change of temporary storage location for one of my pistols. Wanted my father in law to be able to take it to the range since he didn’t get his license till the ban was in place. So after applying online I’ve been sent a 1 page from to fill out and email back asking basic info, how it will be stored, reason for transfer etc.
Figured I’d change the storage location temporarily and then my father in law could apply for an ATT to take to and from the range.
Will I be ok going this route? Or will I end up having to phone in to explain the situation?
Thanks

You will still have to call in to initiate the lending process, you will have to provide info of the person borrowing your pistol to the cfo (name, address, rpal # if I remember correctly). Then they will have to call in to complete the lending process, they might issue you an att to transport the gun to your fil and he will be issued an att to transport it to the range. They will need a copy of the registration as well.

Thanks for the info, I’ll try and get through in the next couple days.

Update: had the pistol loan approved for 6 months, got my ATT to transport to the temporary address. So on Wednesday I pack up everything and am also bringing a couple others with me, have a 4 hour drive to where I’m going. So I get 15 min from my house then then a rcmp officer pulls in behind me. They are just doing their job but I am followed for another 15 min and then they continue behind me down the highway for a bit then pull away but are still close by for another couple exits.
I honestly thought I was getting pulled over, glad I wasn’t because of the waste of time and hassle it could have become.

The worry is that people may rent out their handguns to strangers over the internet which may pose risks to public safety.

I'm trying to imagine someone filling out paperwork to legally borrow a legally registered handgun to go rob a bank.

"Rent my restricted firearms to a stranger over the internet" REALLY!!?

Update:

I just phoned the Alberta CFO again this morning because a friend of mine kept asking me to lend him a handgun for IPSC. The process is now good to go and works as follows:

1. The lender gives the CFO his/her authorization to lend out the specific handgun(s) to the borrower (name and RPAL number).
2. The CFO officer notes the authorization on the lender's profile.
3. The borrower applies for a borrowing ATT with the CFO.
4. The CFO reviews and approves the borrowing ATT, which will be valid for up to six months and can be renewed by the borrower.
5. The CFO will talk to the borrower as part of the review process, and an one time ATT will also be set up so the borrower could transport the handgun(s) from the lender.

I may give the process a try and report back.

The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the ever expanding needs of the expanding bureaucracy.

Guess there's not a lot of Saskatchewan 10yr olds biking to school with 22lr anymore. Keeping gophers out of the ball field is unionized work.

Well, I had Carol Hughes stand on my front step telling me that I was a "criminal in waiting" because I owned firearms. The socialist conditioning never ends!

Wonder how this would work or if it would work at all ....... I live in Ontario and I was thinking of loaning my restricted guns to my son in the lower mainland of BC. My shooting days are almost over because of shoulder joint problems.
