How many AR's Can i buy at once before i get flagged?

Why does it matter if you get flagged? worst case the CFO calls you up and asks why you want 10 AR's at once or arranges an inspection via a firearms officer to check your storage. A bit overused but "if you nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" is most appropriate in your case trying to get 10 AR's at once.

Since once you have 10 firearms in your possession the CFO can inspect your dwelling house to check your storage.
 
6 in a month will get you flagged, less if you’re buying more than one of the same make/model. Being flagged doesn’t necessarily mean anything though, someone MIGHT check to see if you’re into anything obviously nefarious.
 
I have substantially more than 10 restricted and prohibited firearms registered to me and had yet to be flagged (that I am aware of) or had a visit for the purposes of inspection. Phil.
 
Had one issue when a couple at a range bought six guns after they did their course and before their PAL's came in the mail bought six guns between the two. The wifes PAL came first; all 6 were transferred to her. The CFO called her and wanted to know what's the deal. She explained that not all were hers, some were the husbands, but her PAL came first, and his PAL was still awaiting approval, but they wanted to get all of them home. That was the end transferred approved no issue, But that was in Alberta about 5-6 years ago. I haven't had/heard of that happening since that one time. It seems to be pretty random at best, but ten at once 50/50, they may care.

That tired phrase is the funeral lament of individual freedom and privacy rights. It is also the swan song of tyrants who want to run roughshod over their subjects and create a culture of fear, compliance, and nanny statism.

IN a free, fair and democratic society, the correct statement is "It is precisely because you have done nothing wrong, that law enforcement has no reasonable grounds to search".

Searches are not permitted by default. They have to be justified based on reasonable submission of wrongdoing. When consenting to searches because you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to gain, and everything to lose.

Getting flagged for lawful activity is a big deal, especially when the government has absolutely no data to substantiate what should or shouldn't constitute a flag.

I mean I sort of disagree with the law. Where possessing 10+ firearms is itself reasonable cause to apply for a warrant.

On the one hand I like it being used to combat straw purchasing, on the other hand they don't use that power at all or only use it when someones straw purchased gun ends up in a crime scene where you don't even use that section of the Firearms act but the regular CCC section for warrants.

Suffice to say my overall point beyond my meandering is that buy it w/e, but that the Police can totally inspect you for compliance with the Firearms act (s.101-105) if they wanted to.
 
There's nothing wrong with them questioning you regarding irregular purchases or large quantity, but that's all it needs to be. They are only meant to ensure compliance with the laws
