I was in the military so I have a good knowledge on how to safely store and handle firearms. I recently obtained my restricted and non- restricted licence. As a former member of the Canadian military and avid gun enthusiast I am looking to start a collection of firearms. I didn't realize the restrictions they place on a lot of handguns. I call the firearm center and they sent me an application for restricted/prohibited handguns for the purpose of forming a part of a collection. I filled everything out but two questions. 1)What historical knowledge do you have about this or other firearms and 2) What technological characteristics relate to this firearm from any other type of firearm. I am wondering if for the first question they want a short history lesson on the firearm which I can surely give off the top of my head. For question 2 do they want me to list the differences between this handgun and one that is similar but not protected by the prohibited law. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you

Obtaining my collectors licence
I was in the military so I have a good knowledge on how to safely store and handle firearms. I recently obtained my restricted and non- restricted licence. As a former member of the Canadian military and avid gun enthusiast I am looking to start a collection of firearms. I didn't realize the restrictions they place on a lot of handguns. I called the firearm center and they sent me an application for restricted/prohibited handguns for the purpose of forming a part of a collection. I filled everything out but two questions. 1)What historical knowledge do you have about this or other firearms and 2) What technological characteristics relate to this firearm from any other type of firearm. I am wondering if for the first question they want a short history lesson on the firearm which I can surely give off the top of my head. For question 2 do they want me to list the differences between this handgun and one that is similar but not protected by the prohibited law. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you

I think you should just stick with not getting the collector's status and just own a lot of guns.
I remember reading somewhere that the firearms inspector will be able to go in to a collector's location unannounced to make an surprise inspection.
But I can be full of crap, since this is out of memory.

That is a B.S. story that is spread around by guys wearing tin foil hats...don't put money on it. A guy heard from a guy whose second cousin's uncle's father-in-law had that happen to them, in Nebraska.
The inspector has to make arrangements that are mutually convenient for all parties...this is reality.
Those two questions may be designed for people who already have collections.
If you have a particular interest in a specific type then just say a few words to demonstrate you have a legitimate interest.
I think those questions are intended to weed out inheritors of estate handguns who just "come into" them, and have no previous interest in shooting. They will then offer to help dispose of the guns...
