So that would take some time and negotiation. The majority of Canadians would want the money spent elsewhere. I don’t see Trudeau increasing funding for the firearms program anytime soon. It would need to go through the budget process.
So we are still in the same place.
I live in AB. I bought a shadow 2 on June 18th and transfer started on June 20th. Still nothing but I'm hoping it's no longer than a month wait time. Anyone else getting the same timeline in AB?
I'm in Alberta, ordered a pistol from a Saskatchewan dealer June 9th, transfer started June 14th, still crickets.
I have never owned handguns and have no desire to, but to hear about this type of frustration, and how the government is making life so difficult for the LAW-ABIDING citizens, gets my blood boiling. It does seem to be the plan regarding legal handgun owners to: Frustrate them, make legal transfers super difficult, paint them into a corner, and hope that they would just give up their handguns. What's next? Confiscate the items forcefully and destroy them?!
The CRIMINALS remain UNTOUCHED, because they never have to "abide" by ANY rules and regulations as they simply CONTINUE using illegal firearms in committing crimes and victimizing everyone in the society. My rifles and shotguns are safely stored, so if I get attacked by a criminal in my own house, I will likely be charged if I use a broomstick to defend my family!
America is crazy because of their super easy firearm ownership rules but Canada is going in a different - still WRONG - direction.
Damn! If AB is the fastest province then I'm feeling terrible for everyone else.
Do CFOs always approve transfers in the order of Ref#? I got my first TN letter yesterday from CFO Ontario, for a transfer initiated on Jun 1st. However, I have other transfers with lower Ref# that I haven't received any update. BTW, the one I got was a private transfer, but those I haven't heard about were from dealers. So, how do they process the requests?
