Now I feel stupid

This is probably asked once a week. But still I can't find this piece of information. U guess they hide it well. Can someone point me to a spot in criminal code that says antique firearms are not considered firearms and no license or cert is required for possession??
Thanks

look on the sticky "link to antique regs" at the top of this forum. On page 2 you will find scans of the pertinent regs. cc84 1(a) covers pre 1898 muzzle loaders, cc84 1(b) covers proscribed guns (includes modern flintlock long guns) Statement of Regulation 98-464 proscribes which guns and cc 84 3 spells out the exemption of antiques. Antique firearms however become modern if used in a crime

Prescribed Antiques

Then after reading S. 84 (.1a, .1b and .3), go to SOR 98 - 464 and check out "Regulations Prescribing Antique Firearms", section 2 Schedule S.1 regarding "Black Powder reproductions". Happy reading...
