How's everyone's restricted transfers in BC? I'm still waiting on approval for my handgun I ordered in September.

I ordered at the end of Sept I think we're getting close. Based on a post from a few weeks ago here, it seemed 4-5 months was the going rate in BC.

When did you purchase?

EDIT, this guy was right at 5 months apparently.

What do you mean you got called? Don’t they normally just notify by email?

Also, thanks for the info!

Got it, thanks for the follow up.

I’m sure it’s not the first time, just the first time I’ve heard of that happening.

Also, congrats! I hope my number comes up soon …
