I just sent a deposit on my first handgun.

I plan on paying it off in the next two weeks, If I remember correctly
the short term ATT should be taken care of because it'll be shipped from sask.

First question; is New Brunswick one province that requires the club to fill out the LTATT on my behalf?

... Is there anyway to streamline things? After waiting a year, I'm eager/impatient to go out.. even in the snow..

Thanks for viewing,
Geoff
 
yes u must belong to a club most of them will fill the paper work for u if u ask them...u can shoot indoor in fredericton at northeast pistol range
 
If you already belong to a gun club in N.B. , just make sure that your club has sent in your info. to the CFOs office for your ATT as this information is renewed every year....the club that i belong to has just started to send in the ATT info. for this year to the CFO , so it may be wise that you ensure that all your paperwork at the CFOs office is up to date . I have found that the CFOs office in N.B. s very helpful....you may want to give them a call..... or give your club president a call....
 
you're right.. I had a good experience getting my rpal. One of the reps returned my call a short time ago.
she suggested I send the paperwork minus the firearm identification and transport so that it was on file..

My understanding, once the transaction is complete the registration transfer will be sent..
will I need to call them afterwards to fill the rest of the form/att? I understand nb's cfo
processes att pretty quickly.

Yep, we're relatively better off here than in some provinces. The system notwithstanding, our NB CFO isn't out to ruin your day. You may find certain processes are even more conveniently executed once you've been on their books awhile and you're more or less known. Upper Canadian CFO's assume they're dealing with criminals; Maritime CFO's don't.
 
I just went through this process in New Brunswick.
Step 1 Join Gun Club (Jan 18 2014)
Step 2 Order really cool Uberti .45 El Patron from Manitoba (Jan 21)
Step 3 Store in MB sends application for transfer to CFC (Jan 22)
Step 4 I call CFC repeatedly to check status
Step 5 CFC sends me a letter requesting proof of membership to Gun Club and asks me to apply for LTATT (????)
I discovered that they requested missing info by calling CFC. I still have not received the letter.
Step 6 I complete LTATT Application and fax that along with my Gun Club Membership card to NB CFO Office. Note: Make sure that you name is printed on your membership card so it is legible. Not just your Signature
Step 7 I call CFC repeatedly to check status
Step 8 Transfer approved and LTATT in the mail (Jan 29)
Step 9 E-mail gun supplier in MB to inform them that transfer is approved (Jan 29)
Step 10 Wait for really cool gun :)

I ordered my gun on Jan 21. When I called CFC this morning this process was complete (Jan 29) Total of 7 days - 5 Business Days (It was approved yesterday) This process includes the approval and issue of my LTATT. Really not bad for my first ever restricted.

Unless things have changed since I bought my latest restricted and now that you're all licensed and vetted, in future step 3 can be done by both you and the dealer phoning the CFO. Dealer then sends you a gun and, simultaneously, you get a new LTATT in the mail with your new gun added to it. That's in NB. In Upper Canada, you'd still have to send in 3 ass hairs for DNA sampling scotch taped to a letter of dispensation from the Pope.

Are you saying that next time I will only have to complete Steps 2, 3 (Which can be done over the phone in a matter of minutes), 8 and step 10 :)

Yep, at least thats the way its worked for me in the past. The transfer confirmations were verbal and only required that you know the details (SN, Brand, etc.) of the firearm involved. Easier here than in some US States. No waiting period or other Obama drama.
 
I would like to say that our gun laws really aren't that bad but I know what kind of debate that may start. I guess the advantage of having to go through the process of obtaining RPAL and LTATT is that the Government "Trusts" us until those thing expire.
Seems obtaining firearms is really simple once you go through the process of getting checked out.

:agree:. The debate starts just after some representative of the black/white crowd reads just enough to imply (to them) that you're all in for the government's involvement. Given that our bureaucrats will be with us for the foreseeable future, we could be a lot worse off than we are.

And heeere we go,,,:) .
 
I bought a Windham AR back in November off one of our sponsors.They took care of there end & mailed the Gun it to me,I picked it up at the Post Office brought it home already had a LTATT.Upper Canada guys got to many steps.
 
I also bought from one of our sponsors. Fortunately the provincial CFO is
really helpful. When I called the CFO she asked me to fax the LTATT
(minus the firearm information). It would sit while the dealer initiated
the transfer (which happened thursday) and instead of mailing the LTATT
for me to return they would already have that information.


Fingers are crossed.. Hopefully they saved me a few days waiting.
It sounds like they need to streamline the process, I'm glad I live in NB..
