If all is as you say, and no modifications have been done - I imagine the charges will be dropped when the RCMP see that it has a valid FRT#.
 
Stop discussing you details on an open forum now.

For firearm lawyers: Central Canada call Ed Burlew. Western Canada you could call Doug Christie, (you don't have to agree with his politics, most don't) but really, this is a simple matter that you may even be able to resolve by waiting for your intial appearance (if it gets that far). You can speak to crown briefly at that time, and bring your (now defunct) registration cert.

It' s not "US" he has to worry about! When it pertains to pending legal matters a bit of discretion goes a looonnngg way!

Hi guys as the post says I was arrested and charged fro haveing a prohibited shotgun. The RCMP say the barrel length is to short. The total length is legal and the cert says its non restricted. I have a court date and face a criminal record. Does anybody know of a good lawyer that is knowlegable in these matters or have any advise they can share.
Thanks

Would love to know the circumstances of how they arrested you for it, even though you had proof.
 
It should all end with providing the RCMP the FRT# if it hasn't been modified in any way shouldn't it? I know we shouldn't have to provide it, but once it is identified I don't see how it could continue past that point with anything other than returning the gun and dropping the charges unless there are other circumstances. I know a LEO can charge you with almost anything and 'let the courts sort it out' but it should really be as simple as the number, how could a prosecutor move forward when it is clearly 'non restricted' indicated by the FRT# If not then I am very confused AGAIN about how the law works. I'm betting I am just confused or oh yeah live in Canada where the gun laws MAKE NO SENSE! Good luck to the OP in any case and thanks to CanAm for the number (as always great support)
 
Attend the detachment and speak with the corporal or sergeant. Somewhere there will be a mountie that knows a prohib from a non restricted. This story just does not seem right to me. The Corp or SGT has access to the FRT on the police computer ( I know) that will stop the problem.

Ya im writing that number down, and maybe others should too. Do you think that if the Op had givin the number to the officer at time of arrest they can just look it up in their squad cars computer and be done with it?
