Our Position.

[MarstarCanada]

We are still accepting and initiating transfers for Restricted Firearms until such time that the CFP disables our ability to start new transfers electronically, or an actual release of a passed law or document to state that the ban is in effect. To date, we have not seen a written law or declaration in an official medium, and we do not operate in a manner that treats news releases and notifications via email as Law.

You guys are great, hopefully other retailers do the same

 

[Boctok]

Big Mistake. https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/need-know-recent-changes-handgun-regulations

Effective on October 21, 2022
Conditions of Transferring Firearms and Other Weapons Regulations. The Government of Canada brought into force amendments to the Conditions of Transferring Firearms and Other Weapons Regulations, changing the regulations on the transfer of handguns in Canada.

Under these amendments, a Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) will only be able to authorize the transfer of a handgun to an individual who:

holds an Authorization to Carry (ATC) issued under Section 20 of the Firearms Act; or
has provided the CFO with a letter from a provincial or national sport shooting governing body indicating that the individual trains, competes, or coaches in a handgun shooting discipline that is on the programme of the International Olympic Committee or the International Paralympic Committee.
Applications to transfer handguns to individuals that do not meet at least one of these prerequisites cannot be processed; clients should not submit an application if they do not fall under one of these exemption groups.

How's this for official medium https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/cntrng-crm/frrms/2022-rgltns-tmp-en.aspx and this https://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/cnt/cntrng-crm/frrms/c21-en.aspx#s1. I am not happy, I started a transfer today that will not be approved.

Good on you for trying, but all those buyers better be budding Olympians according the the regs that are now live on the ps website and Canada Gazette.

Maybe the Alberta cfo is willing to declare everyone an Olympian in training?

That would be hilarious.

 

[Milanczar]

Maybe the Alberta cfo is willing to declare everyone an Olympian in training?

It states specifically that the person has to meet the criteria of:

individual trains, competes, or coaches

It does not say

"individual trained, competed, or coached"

"individual wants to train, compete, or coach"

Only persons that are currently active in Canada or coming to Canada from a foreign country can meet this criteria the way it is written

I feel like you will have a lot of refunding to do

Well that will do it then, we have removed all the pistols from the site.

We never captured the funds in case this would happen

Being that Pam D. (Some Lib MP) said that all license holders are essentially criminals who havent committed crimes yet, a declaration from someone in authority like a cfo that we are all potential olympians should stand up...

 

[FarmerDanz]

To train at something you need to do nothing more than think about it.

90 percent of sports performance is mental

We all could be training to be Olympic athletes. How better to master 22lr recoil than to use a heavier caliber? Haha

 

[9mmGunGuy]

AFAIK, transfers initiated before today are still going to get through.

I identify as a "high-performance shooter" so I should be good right....right..

 

[Claven2]

I identify as a prospective Olympic athlete. Trudeau's woke bullsh!t demands my identity be respected!!

 

[Chumlee Bumsnag]

At least you didn't refer to us as 'Hey consumers' like North Sylva did.
