Transfer of first restricted

[HammerHand]

Don't know where I heard it - and it may be misinformation - but I heard that when you purchase your first restricted firearm, before it's transferred to you, the CFC calls your house and asks to speak to you, and at least one other resident of the house (if there is one).

True, or more spurious "information" ???

The reason I'm asking is - temporarily moved back home, and everyone in the house is cool with me having firearms in the house... I just don't want my brother knowing I have an M1911A1 coming, and I'd rather that he didn't answer the phone/find out. He's kinda chatty with his friends, and I'd rather not let the entire neighbourhood know what I've got coming.

My first restricted arrived a week and a half after the shop received my funds. No telephone calls were involved.

I see you're in BC - not Onterrible. I'm guessing the BC and Ontario CFO's do things a little bit differently... Anybody in Ontario have any info on this?

NO, they don't call in Ontario, this has all been done, when you got your restricted with the references.

I got my first restricted earlier this year as well and there were no calls made.

I guess I just got lesson # 2 in "not listening to gun rumours".

Thanks guys!

They don't call..they just take a long time to process it in Ontario...my first was three weeks from a dealer and my last private is at 5 weeks and counting.
