Don’t let the Army find out about it!I didn’t know there was a suppressor for an 8 gauge mounted on a Roomba.
I thought punt guns were prohibited.I didn’t know there was a suppressor for an 8 gauge mounted on a Roomba.
Which I find odd as Canada Post used to handle restricted all the time. Also found it odd that my postie could deliver my gun to the door. But I had to have a short term ATT to take it 500m to my local post office. The CFO staff were almost offended when I asked to have a authorization to transport a restricted gun packaged for mail from my house to that specific post office added to my long term ATT. Talk about utterly fucking useless paperwork churn.Some of the latest: another brick in the wall?
Can't comment because I don't know much about the regime (other than it ain't stopping bad guys from having guns), so just sharing this FYI.New regulations allow Canada Post to ship restricted firearms returned in gun buyback
OTTAWA - The federal government is giving Canada Post the ability to store and transport restricted firearms in new regulations that bring the retail gun buyback program one step closerwww.thecanadianpressnews.ca
I've been sending/receiving 'restricteds' through the mail for years. I don't know what regulation needed changing here.Some of the latest: another brick in the wall?

I never asked for an ATT to pick up a gun at the post office. Until I get the package home and unwrapped, I have no idea what's in the box. Nor did I ever get one to take a 'package' to the post office.Which I find odd as Canada Post used to handle restricted all the time.

The article is likely incorrectly using terms (or just as likely the ignorant government is incorrectly using terms and the media is parroting it).Which I find odd as Canada Post used to handle restricted all the time.

Canada Post did not require one to deliver. If you got a notice of a package to pick up and realized it was a gun (by the address), theoretically you needed a short term ATT to take it. But almost everyone took it home anyways. As long as you did not open the package on the way, I suspect you would not be charged. The laws were never meant to be logical.I never asked for an ATT to pick up a gun at the post office. Until I get the package home and unwrapped, I have no idea what's in the box.

Good catch. I missed that nuance.The article is likely incorrectly using terms (or just as likely the ignorant government is incorrectly using terms and the media is parroting it).
Those firearms are no longer restricted they are prohibited. Canada post is unable to handle prohibited firearms currently. Therefore the legislation change would be needed to handle prohibited firearms to allow them to do it.
Still doesn’t change the fact Canada post said they wanted nothing to do with this as well so whether or not they can legally ship it doesn’t necessarily matter if they refuse as a business to ship it.
The post office doesn't have any way of knowing what's in the package unless you tell them.The article is likely incorrectly using terms (or just as likely the ignorant government is incorrectly using terms and the media is parroting it).

Corrected in a later version of the story ....The article is likely incorrectly using terms (or just as likely the ignorant government is incorrectly using terms and the media is parroting it) ...
You are correct. Canada Post has concerns about private citizens bringing their prohibited firearms to postal outlets never to be seen again.If I read this correctly, it only relates to buyback from and shipping from businesses, not private citizens.
True, but you can catch criminal charges for shipping illegal goods through Canada Post. Not exactly a game I would play myself.The post office doesn't have any way of knowing what's in the package unless you tell them.
Don't know how many die-hard haters'll end up voting for him even if he doesLike “Only Nixon could go to China”, what heel move would it be for Trudeau to say “Our current firearms laws are doing their job and we are withdrawing all new control laws”. He just might make the LPC competitive!
