have LT ATT but no reg cert yet. no trip to range, right?

I swear to God we gun owners are worse than the anti's. They have one goal, take our guns away. We seem more than willing to invent rules and problems, we complain about the RCMP doing the exact same thing. They cannot give you an ATT to do an illegal thing, transport a gun without the registration certificate, so the numbers and they do give you act as the registration until it arrives (like mentioned in the CFP Officer's Field Manual above). Fearing an uninformed officer is by no means an excuse to neuter ourselves, having the info handy to educate them is. If you are in fear, just print that blurb from the CFP Officer's Field Manual and carry it with you until your registration arrives. Geez.

No one inventing anything.

They can give you an ATT with any conditions they like, its up to you to make sure you are in compliance not theirs. The CFP is not the law and if you ATT says reg cert that is what you require. Show me anything in any act that says the TAN fulfills the reg cert requirement for ATTs.

Same problem here.
Got my new toy 2 weeks ago and no cert yet. Transfer completed on May 11th.
Called Ontario CFO and they told me that the cert is required as a proof of registration.
I told them that I had the cert number and store receipt, but the lady advised me to wait for the cert, as the police does not have to accept just a store receipt and reg number, they are instructed to ask for the proper paperwork (ATT + reg cert).
Then I asked her to email or fax me my cert and the answer was NO. All they can do is to snail-mail another cert.
 
this
"When approving the transfer, the Chief Firearms Officer will issue to both parties a transfer authorization number. This number will serve as proof that the transfer was approved and that a registration certificate was issued to the new owner. The transfer authorization number is particularly important because there will be an interim period between the issuing of the registration certificate and its receipt by the new owner of the firearm during which the new owner of the firearm will not actually have a registration certificate. With the transfer authorization number, you will be able to verify through CPIC whether the person in possession of the firearm is or is not the person to whom the firearm is registered." seems good enough to me it shows it is legal and that officers should be aware of this fact.
again the chances of getting inspected for all your papers (at least where i live) are very low. but if they do and you don't have your reg cert it is easy enough for them to call it in and with the use of your TA number they can confirm the registration don't make things worse than they have to be is all tuco was trying to say. you are still in compliance.

oh and if we all did this sort of thing would it not show what a flawed system it is and give examples of why we should do away with ATT alltogether. just some thoughts.

sorry to bring up an old thread, but a couple of questions:

in BC i just got my LTATT for my AR-15, and it clearly says on the last page

"the holder must be in possession of the registration certificates for the firearm(s) being transported"

I really want to take my gun to my local gun shop today, i have the transfer notice, but i guess that isnt good enough. Its been over 2 weeks waiting for the reg certs, do they come from CFO or CFC?
