I would like to know if anybody has had any experience buying a restricted pistol online? I know you can have a pistol shipped but I don't know how easy it is? Will you need an Authorization to Transport if picked up at the post office or dropped off at home?
 
Its not hard at all, and yess you will need an ATT if it is not delivered to your door. So it goes like this:

1) order pistol, pay for pistol
2) they ship it and give you the tracking number
3) You call CFC and request an ATT for the day or days you would like to pick it up at the post office
4) they fax or email you the ATT
5) you pick up gun
6) profit?
7) shoot your gun once you get your long term ATT

It takes all of 5 or 10min to get the ATT

Wow, only 5-10 mins to get an ATT! I figured that there would be a long wait. Thanks that helped!
Also do you know if an authorization to carry is needed when you go hunting? I know you cannot hunt with it but I wouldn't mind using the pistol on crown land in bear country and for fun. Or do I only need the long term ATT?

Slow down a bit:)

The 5 - 10 minute ATT is only the short-term one, not the long-term ATT.

The length of time to get a long-term ATT depends on where you live (it shouldn't, but it does) and may be dependent on gun club membership.

Finally, no you can not legally take a restricted gun anywhere except where authorized on the ATT, and that does not include crown land.

Ok, that's interesting. So what would I have to do to bring my pistol camping or hunting on crown land?
 
You cannot shoot a restricted firearm anywhere except a gun club. Therefor you cannot get an ATT to take your restricted firearm camping or hunting on crown land.

umm....not in B.C. Not sure where the OP is but it goes a little like this here on the wet, left coast:

this is assuming you already have your RPAL in hand

1) Apply for LTATT (may need a gun club membership to have it approved)...start waiting 3-4 weeks
2) Order pistol online...if you haven't got a LTATT approved by the CFO the seller will have to wait until you have one to initiate a transfer of registration...if you do seller most likely will initiate a transfer, if they don't YOU have to initiate the transfer
3) Wait 2-3 weeks for transfer to be approved and completed if it's your first restricted..if it's not your first it could be faster ~6-10 days in BC, faster in Alberta...dunno about elsewhere.
4) Once transfer is approved seller can ship...wait again
5) IF the firearm is delivered to your home, and you are there to sign for it, you are finished...if not then it will be held at your local post office for pickup
6) If its held at the post office you have to call the CFO and request a STATT...could take 30min...could take a couple days depending where you are and how crappy your provincial CFO is.
7) Pick up firearm and bring it straight home cause that's all the STATT is good for...then you can grab you license, LTATT and registration papers..throw it in an approved locked carrying case and head to the RANGE...that's it...the RANGE....no camping, hiking, bear hunting, gravel pit shooting or hockey riots.

enjoy :cheers:

I'm guessing you don't even have your Rpal yet.

Exactly what I was thinking, either they are EXTREMELY new to guns. But definitely a more troll sounding post than anything. But to the OP if you are just very new to everything then I suggest you do some reading about the legalities of firearms in Canada, and ignore the troll comments. It just looks odd to people that you know about the ATT, yet don't seem to know about restricteds only being allowed to go where it is stated on the ATT.

Have you even taken the CRFSC yet? If you get caught with a pistol anywhere you don't have specific written permission to be, you are going to get your ass handed to you. Only on the rarest of occasions for special occupational reasons is an authorization to carry issued. Basically, get the idea right out of your head. Handguns are for the range and nothing else.
 
actually, even when you get the pistol you still cant go to the range. you have to wait for the registration papers. why do people leave out this step?

btw, if i am not home but my wife is when the package arrives and she does not have an rpal, will they let her sign or insist i have to sign and if im not home take it back to post office then i have to get an satt?
 
I did take the course, yes. My instructor was talking about protection and bears and mentioned the pistol as a form. He mentioned his forestry job and that he had permission but I did not read about protection in the woods in a non-occupational situation. That is what I am trying to find out, I haven't found anything on the internet yet and I was hoping that someone had some experience on the matter.

That's not an authorization to transport, it's an authorization to carry. Those are issued in special cases. One class is just for armoured car personnel, another is for geologists, trappers, and other people who work in the bush and for whom it would not be practical to carry long arms.

this


If you want to carry something in the bush..crown land...you are going to need your PAL, registration, a hunting license and you are only gonna be able to carry a long gun..5 rounds max most provinces..unloaded unless you are about to go for a kill...and be prepared to explain why you have it should you encounter a conservation officer....especially if you look like a drunk yahoo.

Canada Post doesn't know what's in the parcel...they don't care..it's a box. It gets tricky if your wife knows what's in the package. If she honestly didn't know..postal guy doesn't know..then it's just a plain vanilla package delivery..she signs, everyone goes home happy.

If she knows what's in the package...and signs for something she's not legally allowed to possess..or is registered to her............well....haha, this one is a legal debate clusterfu*** that could go on forever
