As a start, to own an automatic weapon in Canada you must have legally been in possession of such a weapon continuously since no later than 31 December 1977. There is also a requirement to have a Firearms Acquisition Certificate. To get this a test is normally required. Rules on storage and on carriage are also now incredibly difficult and there are restrictions on magazine sizes. I believe that drums for example have all to be modified in some way to restrict capacity. Auto weapons can be transferred between qualified owners but not to others, even on inheritance. Prices, because of the reducing number of collectors (Youngest must now be over 46) are not high. So, while this select group can continue to own automatic weapons the Government makes it pretty hard to enjoy them. |

chitowngangster, there is a member, known as Koldt, on these forums, who lives in Calgary, Alberta. He is a Thompson owner, and seems to have no troubleshotting out there. Possibly some provinces/ territories, in the 'Great White North', have different rules and regulations. You might want to drop him an email! ![]() ![]() |
