Inherited WWI Pistols **Updated with Sauer 1913 pics!**

To those who are concerned about the legality of the transfer I assure you The pistols are now in MY name, legally registered to me. The CFC/CFO actually approved both transfers in less than 24hrs.

I do not have 12(6), just an RPAL... BUT now that I have inherited a 12(6) I am considered 12(7). That means: I may possess the newly inherited firearm, keep it in my place of residence, hold a reg certificate for it in MY name, and take it to my club under my current ATT to use for target shooting purposes... However, I may NOT acquire any other prohib firearms with this new status, unless also inherited.

Can I acquire a prohibited firearm if I am not grandfathered?

No you cannot:

Exception: If you are not grandfathered, the only prohibited firearms you may possess or acquire are handguns with a barrel length of 105 mm or less or that discharge .25 or .32 calibre ammunition, and only if all of the following criteria are met:

* the handgun was made before 1946, and
* the handgun was registered in Canada on December 1, 1998, and
* you are the child, grandchild, brother, sister or spouse of the lawful owner, and
* you are acquiring it for an approved purpose such as target shooting or as part of a collection.

In these circumstances, you can lawfully possess the handgun in question, but you are not grandfathered or authorized to acquire more prohibited handguns.
