Type 97 Classification Issues - PART TWO

So from what I'm told the RCMP are completing FA testing this week. Have you gotten any word from the RCMP CanAm?
 
because those specific guns as identified by those certificates are deemed to still be Non-Restricted... but... the moment someone tries to sell or transfer one of those guns, the instant the Transfer Request is entered into the CFC system then the gun becomes frozen... it instantly at that point becomes a "Prohibited" firearms as per the new classification and at that point it's trapped... it can't be transferred and it can't be cancelled back to the old owner because it's now a Prohib and the old owner can't possess it (no-one can... at least no individual can). And so those few specific guns remain out there.

Thank you for posting this.

It's good background intel.
 
that bit is Sticky worthy. i know of a guy that lost his 12.6 status that way. he was trading his 12.6 for another at a store and they accidentally transferred his before transferring the dealers stock to him first.... ouch

From what I understand the RCMP finished their testing yesterday and were supposed to contact CANAM. Other then that the communist manifesto carries on.

I highly doubt that the RCMP are about to say "we were wrong. You were right . Here you go." Most cops I know (and I'm related to some) have a hard time admitting they're wrong for something small. Not something this big.

No decision has yet been made other then to classify them as non-res.

Are you referring to the original classification given prior to importation, or is this a current development?

If they do release as non-restricted, they don't really have to admit any fault on their part, all they have to say is that they were right all along, and were just double checking.
