Someone has a non-restriced G3?!!??

Ditto.

"Sorry officer, those are the papers I got with my rifle and as you can see in this spiffy pamphlet here, it's legal for me to shoot a non-restricted in the bush."

:D

The cert. with non-restricted status would likely preclude prosecution. Can't imagine that the rifle would not be seized, though. If someone tried to transfer a G3 registered as non-restricted, seizure would be the likely outcome.

Yeah, unless you can prove that you're a dumb inner city gang-banger thug, the judge'll send you up #### creek.. :D
 
A G3 is prohibited by law. The registration information is irrelevant. There might even be a case for this individual being accused of improperly registering the firearm.

We all know it's a dumb system.

:ar15:
 
Anyone remember the guy on here a while back that got a reg card for his FN FAL that was listed non-restricted? I'd have taken that to the range the next day.
 
would lilely have it confiscated and destroyed for not being registered properly.

have to cut up an old revolver at work because it was registered as restricted instead of prohib. cant do anything with it now other than cut the barrel and part it out.

So as already stated, if someone had a G3 that had an error and was classified as "non restricted" even though in reality it is a prohib, if the long gun registry went bye bye that person would be in posession of an unregistered prohibeted firearm.

That guy's the only shooter in the country who actively supports the registry :D
Incidently, I don't think there would be any problem transferring that firearm, from personal experience, it would appear that only the cert# is checked and the ownership matched. No other details of the firearm are checked, and the people doing the transfer are not firearm conversant. In this case anyone with a PAL would be approved

Looking at this database, not sure if anyone can screw things up as bad as it appears. I have a rather unique restricted handgun that I was thinking I might find here, well never did. What makes it unique is not the gun itself, but the fact that it was stolen from me, and recovered 2 years later in a difference province. I have since got the handgun back, so figured it would be easy to find. NADDA, but what is really interisting, is that many, many of the stolen handguns were stolen before they were registered, some by several months??? Not sure if there is a decent explanation???

They usually verify the make and model...

Actually, they sometimes verify make and model on private transfers only, sometimes they just verify cert number and manufacturer, sometimes they just ask for the cert number. Trust me on this. It's from painful experience.
 
And even if you DID say "uh-huh, it's a HK G3", the person on the phone would only hear "uh-huh, it matches the non-restricted cert that's up on your screen". clickety-clack: transfer approved.
