If it's mailed to you, you just have to wait for it to show up at your place.

If you have to go and pick it up, just print out your transfer paper from CFO, and bring one lock and one trigger lock with you when you pick it up.

Also, PAL and that piece of paper with list of conditions.

"If you have to go and pick it up, just print out your transfer paper from CFO, and bring one lock and one trigger lock with you when you pick it up."

Same if picking it up from the post office?

Ah, this one is a bit of gray area and there are 2 argument for it.

The post office has no idea what's inside, all their job is to make you sign for signatures and might do COD, and that's about it. You don't have to bring PAL.

However, on the off chance I might get stopped by RCMP, I still bring my PAL and papers just in case.

The other camp said you are suppose to request another ATT to get it from post office back to home in addition to being PAL and papers.

Just a note to add, when I got my PS90 from post office, it was not in any locked box except it can with the same cardboard packaging, and the firearm inside was not triggered locked.

But if it was PAL owner to PAL owner, i think it needs to be locked and triggered locked. At least for my own understanding
