the dealer contacts the RCMP via the website to confirm your license anyways,always have,so there's that,nothing new there,
so you bought a brand new gun and you think they didn't take down your info,how are you supposed to get warranty then if they dont know what they sold you,?,not to mention if you paid with a credit card,more paper trail.
The only thing that is changing on the business side is that they need to contact to get a reference number. That's it. The only thing the RCMP will know is that the specific PAL is purchasing something that requires a PAL. Could be a gun, could be ammo.
Businesses are required to keep records of the other info such as the make/model/serial, which they have had to do for quite sometime already.
The entertaining part about gun control organizations pushing for and cheering the implementation of these useless changes to legislation is that situations like this lead to one hell of a spike in firearm sales. More guns are bought during Liberal/Democrat governments than ever and huge spikes are directly related their actions.
I have a hard time believing that they won’t be asking for make model and serial number!
Especially the whole point is keeping clear logs for them to access which they will, so yes I do see them asking for model and serial. Your talking about the same ppl who illegally kept the old long gun registry after it was ordered to be destroyed.
And as outdated as it may be, it gives them a good starting point.
Exactly!
Sure there may have been a paper trail buying a NR at a retailer, but you could have brought it to the range the next day and sold it to Mike in the lane beside you because you didn't like it. That is where the paper trail ended. Not anymore.
business always had kept all gun info on file,how else can you offer a warranty.they've been doing it for decades,but it really doesn't means much of anything when the purchaser decides to sell it to another licensed gun owner the next day.
No, not the same. If you buy something after May 18th and they want to seize it, if you say you no longer have it because you sold it to Mike, but you never got permission from the CFO to transfer it, you will have some explaining to do.
Anything sold after the 18th by a store will be tracked. All they have to do is follow the transfers.
When I purchased a rifle out of a small dealer.
I paid, Showed my license. Told them not to take my info down. They said "You don't want warranty?" I said "If it breaks, I'll fix it myself"
They were good with that. I received my interact receipt and nothing more.
Buying at cabelas......They acted like a .22 rifle was a restricted.
So much paper work. Dealing with the CFO, all info recorded...it was retarded. It was the last time I bought from them.
100% !!
From may 18 forward. ALL sales are to be recorded by the dealer & CFO/RCMP.
Selling or gifting a NR firearm to a license holder without permission. Will be illegal.
this affects person to person NR sales only.. any purchase from dealer/store.. they have all your info anyways these days.. RCMP is just an additional step.. i got a lot of NR firearms from CGN EE.. there is no trail for that.. planning to do a couple more cash purchases before the 18th..

Not really correct as many stores were not recording any info on firearms sales . You could flash your PAL , pay by cash , and walk out the door with your new firearm purchase . Your standard store receipt with the product number acted as your proof of purchase for warranty , but many stores were not recording any personal info like names , adddresses , etc . This may vary from province to province , and from store to store , but I know from personal experience that personal info on firearm purchases was not being recorded by the local stores here unless it was for a restricted purchase .
I agree 100% as well. As much as I hate to admit it somebody within the government was using their head. A brilliant way to achieve what they want. It will be interesting to see what info they ask for when you ask for a transfer number.
On another matter I know the CFO has been in contact with at least one gun dealer in New Brunswick.

What is new is one small detail.
Should you decide to sell your newly aquired firearm to Mike from Canmore, you will have some explaining to do once the confiscation agents come to your door to collect your newly prohibited "variant", as there will be no record of such transaction taking place.
