I assume you grandfather passed away. Sorry for your loss. Yes, the CFC will be able to tell you how to proceed. You may have to provide proof of who is the executor of the will as it is their responsibility for the transfer and registration. (copy of the front page listing who is the executor, etc.)
As for the lock, I'll send you a PM.

If it were me I'd do nothing right now, soon enough there may no longer be a registry. If you do call, it will have to be the executor that makes the call. Assuming you have a P.A.L it will be no issue at all.
The trigger lock should be easily removed if you unscrew the trigger guard, then slip off the lock and reinstall the guard. Toss the lock in the garbage, you don't need them anyhow!!!!

My thoughts exactly!
wtf is that about steeleco?
just have the executor of the will call the cfc and notify them, of course, you will need a valid restricted firearms licence to receive it.
the executor does not need a firearms licence to posses the gun until it is dealt with.
leave the trigger lock on the firearm, and store it somewhere safe in the meantime.

Yup!.....And I hear rumors that the federal government is repealing income tax and the GST too.
In the meantime:
Steeleco, I'd proceed with the registration under the current law and not leave anything to chance especially if a lot of other people know about the gun. If someone drops a dime on you there could be a lot of hassle to face especially if the gun is restricted or prohibited.

take 2 vice grips one on each side of lock, clamp tight and twist in opposite directions, and watch the white metal device break apart.
For clarity!!! I would take possession and "IF" during the tenure of the Executor the registry is scraped, your good to go. If that were not to happen then you could take care of it near the end of the unfortunate affairs of Granddad. I did say "If it were me" I wasn't professing he do that. Sorry gang!
Lets not forget there is also the Amnesty in place till May IIRC.
As to the trigger lock, if it's a long gun, you really don't need them. If it's stored in a locked area, be it a locker or a truck, your good to go. Restricted's are another story.

Well, beyond the point where if you dont have a key the lock is rather useless..
Anyway, I usually use a punch or a thin piece of metal and twist the inside surface till its unlocked. Works every time, you just have to be careful not to scratch the trigger guard.
