How many hand guns do you own

[tokguy]

Is there actually a number of restricted guns (eg handguns + a few AR's) that if you go over, you get put on a list for periodic inspections?

This is no myth; it clearly states in the Firearms Act (Section 102(1) <-- this is a link) that an Inspection may take place in:

any place in which the inspector believes on reasonable grounds there is a gun collection […] or any place in which the inspector believes on reasonable grounds there is a prohibited firearm or there are more than 10 firearms

This means if you are registered as a Collector rather than a Target Shooter when you apply for your RPAL, or if you have any Prohibited fire-arms, or more than 10 of any kind Registered to you, they have all the ‘reasonable grounds’ to believe that section applies to you.

The vast majority of such fire-arms owners NEVER get asked for an Inspection. Thus it's not something to worry about, but that doesn't make it a myth.

I never knew this. I cut and pasted this from a conversation in Legalese.
Could be right & it could be wrong, homework may be req'd...

Hmmm, I'm already at 11 restricted and got a a Norc 1911 coming in from CanAmmo. Not gonna sweat it, they can inspect all they want.

yes there is , sorta , the number of guns is zero to infinity, its a condition you must agree to when you apply for a PAL .and has nothing to do with the number or guns you have .

N-1


* N= enough

 

[mralberta]

3; 2 pistols and a revolver.

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

Exactly.

 

[Woodeneye]

7 and not enough

 

[Shooter1of38]

When I had 3 - friends said I was crazy. That was 3 months after getting my PAL. Now I must be clinically insane... and I need another safe.

Welcome to the asylum! I need another gun room!

 

[polaris]

Guns?

don't know what you are talking about...

Ah you mean handguns, aren't they evil?

 

[Goo98]

You mean we are supposed to be counting our handguns? I thought it was the government's job to keep track of those things for us!

 

[trebor2880]

I've got too many guns.
Yes, you heard me correctly, Too Many Guns!
Or not enough time to shoot them.
Either way, some ain't seen the light of day in a 'coons age.
And by the time I retire, I'll be too old, weak and heard of seeing, to use any of them.
Unless I stop spending so much of my income buying them.
Then I could afford to retire at a decent age.

The "want" list is much larger than the "have" list.

 

[vagrantviking]

[bjhill]

[suberman]

Counting my gun trading cards (registrations) I got 6... 7 is on its way
also currently trying to justify another.....

 

[infidel29]

ALMOST enough.....

 

[bigrevolver]

wow! but .... why two smith 357 mag? If I were you I would buy one 357 and one another caliber

 

[Garand]

Counting guns? Not likely, that would mean that I would also have to share that information with the wife! Then how would I be able to complain about the excessive amount of shoes she buys! Think of that!!!

 

[Draezin]

1. Jericho 941 in .40

2. Sig Mosquito (that i am buying right now from a friend of mine for a retardedly good deal!)

 

[sparq]

Three.

.38/.357 Ruger
.22 GSG 1911
.45 Norc 1911

I'd like a .40 SW, and 9mm, probably M&P for either, and perhaps a .44 mag revolver, but that's about it I think.

I'd love a PMR-30 if I could legally get a 30-round .22 magnum magazine...

I'd also give up a lot for a Coonan .357 1911
