Hey guys. not too sure about this but is it true i need to have the firearm registration certificate to even bring my firearm to the range? As in have it with me? I bring them with me but is it needed?
 
Interesting. I see no where on the certificate that it needs to accompany the firearm during transport?
 
ATT says "All restricted firearms registered to the residence of the authorization holder"
So you would need it as proof, in the unlikely event that one was ever asked for it.
 
You need three things with you,,just like when a cop stops you in your car he asks for drivers licence,,ownership,,and insurance,,for your restricted you need ,,ATT,,registration,,and your firearms permit
 
It really depends on what your own specific Authorization to Transport document says, paying close attention to the Conditions box on the second page. However, chances are very, very good that is says something quite close to:

The Authorization holder must be in Possession of the Registration Certificate for the fire-arm being Transported.

‘Possession’ means you have it with you, not that it's at home, or it's in the mail on its way to you; you are a ‘holder’ once it's been issued to you by the CFC, but not in possession until you have the paper from Miramichi. But if you're talking about a situation where you already have the Transfer Notification sent from your CFO, that should have the Registration *number* on it already, and there are some people who interpret that as a full-fledged temporary Certificate. No case law on that.

If you get caught and charged/confiscated, chances are that you can reverse things if you present the Certificate at the police station at the nearest opportunity. Just like they might give you a vehicle ticket for no licence/insurance if you forgot your wallet, but void them when you prove that you did have them after all. But don't _count_ on it.
 
Another stupid rule!
I make copies of these documents and put them in the gun case/range bag along with a copy of my ATT.

I am not taking the original with me, too bad, it is POS piece of paper that will be destroyed in 5 minutes if I put in my wallet...

Someone once told me at the range 'you should laminate it'. YES! what a great idea because I have nothing else to do than laminating this stupid piece of sh!!!! F... ME! how I did not think of that!

In the event I need to show this piece of paper and the police officer 'says something about the original' well, CHANCES ARE THAT HAPPENING ARE very low, so I take my chances, you do what you want. I say a copy will do it.

Some CFOs will email you the certificate of transfer which is as
good as the firearm registration.

A transfer certificate is a valid firearms registration document. It is valid only transporting the firearm from the dealer to your residence. You still need to carry your PAL and a valid ATT to bring the firearm to your club range.
 
Well it came in the mail and well bad news. My Glock is a gen 4 and has the old 336 ejector and old recoil spring . Glock is sending me a new spring and I'm trying to get the ejector right now cause the gun shoots brass back directly into my face or shoulder every about 15 shots. Anyone know where to find the new ejector to replace the 336 one? Sucks having bass right at my head every 15 shots.
 
My firearm registration certificate's and ATT are also photocopy's. I also carry my PAL. Thank you for lots of reasons for not buying a Glock, even though all my coworkers rave about them.
 
CFC pointed out to directly on the phone that the transfer paper does not constitute a registration, have to wait for the magic paper in the mail to get range time with the new toy.
 
@ariser. The gun is accurate and fun to shoot. The recoil felt is actually very little. I did a 5 round group to beat a friend at shooting and hit 3 bullseye's and 2 that were about 1 inch away or less using my left hand instead of right right in a row. My only complaint is the barrell gets hotter then my other guns after like 3 quick mags. And well. The ejecting in my face.
 
I carry copies and keep originals in safe keeping.

The RCMP Firearms Center states;

The Criminal Code states that a firearms licence and a registration certificate for any restricted or prohibited firearms must be produced for the inspection of a peace officer. If these documents are not produced, the peace officer may seize the firearms. If that was the only reason the firearms were seized, and the required documents are produced for inspection within 14 days, the police are required to return the firearms.

Q. Can I laminate my paper registration certificates to protect them from wear and tear?

Yes.
