Update On Ontario Restricted Transfer Times

I looked at the ombudsman website and the CFO isn't listed as one of the entities that they watch. How can they actually help then?

Because the people that do transfers are not police officers, they are civilians working for the provincial police and therefore fall under the ombudsman’s jurisdiction
 
I called in a new pistol transfer yesterday (Ontario to Ontario) and was told the province is now sitting at an approximate 8 weeks to complete them.

Have another one I I started April 16th coming from Alberta or BC (I forget) and as of today...it is still not done.

filed a complaint also, bought mine march 23, just far to long.

I suggested they take it out of the hands of the OPP or setup software to automatically do the transfers and do audits instead. we are already vetted...

Bill Blair promised us an smartphone app on which we can instantly do our firearm transfers, back when he introduced C71. Seeing as though the RCMP online system which was promised 8 years ago still is nowhere close to being available to us, I have very little faith.

this is hilarious
 
Complaint with ombudsman filed. The squeakiest wheel gets the grease. Everyone should be filing complaints. No sense in coming here for a shoulder to cry on.
 
My MPP replied to me this morning saying the the *Provincial* CFO is a federal responsibility and to contact his federal counterpart.

I wrote back telling him it is indeed a provincial responsibility but Jesus Christ man.
 
I don't really think the CFO is anti-firearm tbh. The office is likely grossly understaffed due to the libs spending our whole budget for firearm control on media to herd the sheep.

But, BC, AB, SK, MAN.......aren’t understaffed?? So, in the Province with the most people, the most PAL’s.....they decide to have 1 person doing transfers, and you don’t think politics are involved ?

I wonder how many calls the CFO’s have gotten since May 1 for transferring formerly restricteds now prohibs.

It's exactly it..I spoke to my contact with the cfo and she said half the day is taking calls and emails about transfers. If everyone would stop emailing and calling it would speed things up a bit

Ya ok.....

If they didn’t let it get to this point, they wouldn’t have the phones ringing off the hook with pissed off people. Lots of people out of work, this is a system that would require almost no training and can easily be made as a work from home job.

There are absolutely ZERO excuses for a 7000 transfer backlog. Don’t let CT at the CFO’s office tell you any different.

Bull****! They have always been slow. Wait times were well over a month before COVID-19 and the May 1st ban.
 
Why are people so reluctant to ship out restricteds to new owners as being "Loaned" while the transfer is completed.

People sell NR guns all the time based on just having a PAL number supplied and they get mailed out the same day or handed over in a parking lot with no CFO Involvement
