IRUNGUNS, like most other gun stores in the US has seen unprecedented times not only in sales but in growth within this industry over the last couple years.

The upcoming changes in Canadian legislation has forced us to make decisions prior to the new laws coming into effect.

Here is where we will explain why.

As most of you are aware we have been at max capacity with no end in sight. This has affected our ability to answer phones and emails which is further compounded by emails and CGN messages with no reference of any kind. We kindly ask if you are going to take the time to ask a question, please include your order number and name.

Unfortunately, we can not hire more people to address this situation because it takes time to educate and ensure that person is fluent in compliance, export reform, Canadian legislation, and our internal software. Added to that we would have to pull staff from other areas to accomplish this.

Most enquiries can be answered in the Commonly asked questions on our website.

As of now IRUNGUNS has only stopped the purchase of handguns off www.irunguns.com

This isn’t something we wanted to do but the number of new customers buying prohibited handguns from Canada has forced us to implement this. The number of angry emails from these people that do not know that the barrel length needs to exceed 105.1mm is staggering.

We truly apologize for this, and things may change in the future but for now this must be implemented.


IMPORT STURCTURE

Our import process offers services to export firearms (handguns & rifles) as well as accessories both to and from the US provided, they fit within the current regulations.

IRUNGUNS also has a service which many of you have already utilized where IRUNGUNS will import your firearms into the US and sell them for you. (AR15 platforms are excluded)

We have a team that works with the guys and gals at GUNBROKER that will write the ads, take the pictures, and monitor the listings. Some of you have already seen some substantial returns using this program.
If you are interested, please see this link.

Later today we will post a detailed tutorial on the process of having your firearms exported to the US and sold on GUNBROKER.

Hopefully, you can eventually put the US site back online for us Canucks but, in the meantime, thanks for offering the service at all.

I think I've got about a dozen pistols from you guys over the years. Always a simple and easy process - and often things I just couldn't get here.

Rather than do a blanket stop on handguns, I'd task a web developer to add a bit more logic to the web site, like one more flag for the item object, where if its true or false then Canadian customer cannot buy it. Does it make an economical sense to close the whole handgun business and loose money on it? Besides, the posted notification on the web site gives a completely different explanation to that.

With the stoppage of handgun sales right around the corner, I wouldn't blame them for not taking this route.
 
Very disappointed that the American store is a no go . What do I know . Would be easyer to intercept some prohibs then close the door to the Canuck’s in general.
 
I’m surprised Irunguns put up with all the clueless morons who ordered prohibited firearms as long as they did. This was all covered in the safety firearms course and is pretty much common sense. Don’t blame Irunguns at all, if you don’t have the individual responsibility to know the basics about handgun law, you’re probably too dumb to be buying in the first place.
 
@irunguns ..

If I were to buy from a 3rd party FFL retailer could I still have them ship to you and import them into Canada as I’ve done in the past?
And yes, I’m a past client and thoroughly know the regulations regarding prohibited etc.
 
Yes, absolutely.

That is correct, we will post detailed information on that process tomorrow.


When the dreaded time comes that we can no longer transfer handguns, if I understand the IRG site, they can help us sell our Canadian firearms in the US. If I have the right, does that mean that while we can't transfer our handguns to other Canadians we CAN use IRG to export them to the US for sale on the used market there???
