Weird ATT question for Ontario

My gf was not a big fan when i made my first purchase. it was one of these situations where she was totally against it but didn't really have a good argument as to why. Maybe she just felt like she should be? i dunno.

Honestly all it took was to educate her on safe and proper storage and general gun safety. All i had to do was prove to her that I was following all the rules, and more importantly was taking them VERY seriously (as we all should).

She now gets the fact that the gun is no more dangerous than the chainsaw or the butchers knife... it's a tool like any other. She can even rhyme off the ACTS&PROVE

The lady that called me back was far more knowledgeable about things, and the call didn't even last a minute. She said the easiest way to do things, is for my buddy to change is PAL address to my place. She said its a fairly common thing, and I was sure to ask if it was considered misrepresentation or fraud. She said the PAL address doesnt have to be the same as your home address, but it does have to be the location of where you keep your restricteds.

For the win.
 
So what happens when you go on vacation, or move away, or go hunting, or you are simply not home?

Are you gonna clean the gun for him to?

Sounds to me like your buddy needs to man up, and habdle his own affairs, both with his wife and with the CFO.

What kind of impression are his kids gonna have about guns, and their father after all of this?

Why does the wife even need to know it's present in the house. Lock it securely in a discreet spot and no one's the wiser. If it is in fact secure, and he follows basic firearms safety practices then whatever she's afraid of cannot occur.

Yeah because hiding things from your wife like that is a sure sign of a healthy relationship :rolleyes:

Policy is not law.
Ask for a written refusal and take the CFO to court.

:agree:

Never accept any refusal over the phone... You will quickly realize that it is often easier for them to give you what you ask for... than write a letter explaining why you can't...

They might not like it, but there are no reason why he shouldn't be able to get a ATT from your house to the range.
- He informed the CFO of the whereabouts of the firearm
- You are licensed for these classification of firearm
- His ATT would show your address and the range address.

While I agree that hiding things is not a good plan, I would say that the first sign of a bad relationship is the firend's wife ordering him to not keep his legal property in their house.

There are bigger problems here than owning a handgun and the friend needs to sort those out before worrying about where he stores his stuff.

Thanks for the replies fella's. Some of you have given me pause to think, that I should get an email from the lady I talked to as well. You are right, that an answer you get over the phone might not always be the right one if the person is just intimidated into telling you what you want.
As for my buddy and keeping them here. That's his battle to fight. I kept my guns at a buddies place for years when I was a teen because my parents didn't want them in the house. In fact I found out years later that I missed out on inheriting one of my closest uncles guns, because though my folks knew about me owning guns, they wouldn't allow it in the house, even in transport to where my other guns were (I have since acquired that gun:) ).
I think the choice to have the fight at home is up to him, and mine or anyone else's opinion is really irrelevant. The important thing is he's buying guns, ammo, supporting a club, a member of the CSSA and otherwise supporting a hobby that we all enjoy.
We are all on the same team, regardless how we get into the game.
 
I see a lot of harsh comments towards the guy's wife in this case.... while I agree that her opinion is irrational don't you guys think he should at least make some effort to educate her?....
