Glocks and other deals...

Why do you require copies of these documents for firearm sales ?

your current PAL (firearms license - both the front & back);
bullet

your current Drivers License (front & back) to confirm identity and address;

And these answers
the purpose for which the firearm is being acquired ( indicate either
"target shooting" or "collection");
bullet

the name of the gun club of which you are a member (if not a gun club
member please indicate);

Is it not up to the CFC to determine identities and eligibilty for ownership ?
 
For business transfers the CFC now eliminates the step of contacting the buyer IF the business has:

A) "Confirmed" the indentity of the purchaser (a copy of the drivers license is accepted by CFC as doing this);

B) For a restricted firearm - if we can tell CFC the purpose for which it is being purchased ie: Collecting or Target/Competition shooting

C) If the above answer is for target shooting then the name of the gun club to which the puchaser belongs.

If we give the CFC all these answers when we call in the transfer then they immediately forward it to the provincial CFO for final approval and CFC doesn't have to wait and talk to the purchaser at all. It simply speeds up the process.

If you prefer to do it yourself that's fine... but along with the PAL we'd need a second piece of government ID showing your address (the PAL doesn't give that info).
 
Coltfan,

I agree, since when does it say you need to be a driver in order to purchase a firearm !!!

ANd why do I have to justify what I do with my assets. What i do with my fir arms is my own business no one else.

PAL is all that is required nothing else!
 
Guys... don't "shoot the messenger" :(

We only follow the guidelines set down by the CFO and the CFC.

They tell us that we have to see your PAL, confirming the name, number, expiry date, authorization to acquire the type of firearm being purchased, etc.. Hence we need a readable copy of both sides of the license as proof that the information was supplied to us.

In addition we are told to get a 2nd piece of government ID (confirming the address which is not on your PAL and is required so that we can ship the firearm to you after the transfer is completed). They suggest a Driver's License but any other governement ID will do.

As for the other "questions" it simply speeds the transfer process. If you prefer we can start the transfer and then have you contact the CFC directly. They will hold the transfer application until they've spoken to you and once you call them they will ask you to prove your identity, the purpose of your handgun purchase and the name of your gun club.
 
Oh...thanks.....it sounds like they put the onus on the dealer as far as identity goes....

PS Nice price on the Baby Eagles.....you can't be making much profit on those.....

We don't... our primary business is not "Retail" sales. To introduce ourselves to the "Retail Civilian Market" we're essentially offering items at $50 to $100 over Canadian dealer book cost. We have access to a wide array of firearms so if there's something you've been looking for send us an e-mail and we'll try to save you some money.

Our real speciality is importing specialty items on your behalf... the stuff that no-one else has or wants to handle.
 
-Just another dumb ass question. How bout that SP21 from Magnum Research Polymer Frame chambered in .9mm 40S&W or .45 ACP

PS I was not trying to shoot the messenger, its just hat we are becoming trained monkeys goingthrough hoops to get our goodies. Its frustrating at the least.

The SP21 has a 3.9" (99mm) barrel length and is not legal for import to Canada for the civilian market.
 
You can do anything... if you have enough time and money :)

You can have a custom barrel built and installed... that would make the gun legal for import, however, the cost would probably make this gun less attractive to you. Figure around $300 (estimate) for a 106 mm barrel. Add that and the import fee to the cost of the gun and it's getting quite pricey... how bad do you want one?

The question is rhetorical :)
