Application / Regulation advice Handgun inheritance

Hi all,

Wondering if there’s something I’m missing.

My dad has a handgun (.22 revolver) that he inherited many years ago. He has his RPAL and is the legal owner of the gun.

He wants it to become mine when he passes.

With our current gun laws is there anyway to have it become mine either before or after he passes?

I’m thinking there’s not, but looking for advice.

Only way to get that is to vote conservative

I see this partisan tac a lot here but conservative governments do not undo these shit laws...they just benefit from being the counterpoint in debate when opposing. They have never unndone anything that has not failed outright like the registry. They certainly have never corrected any of these laws while forming majority governments.

What other laws do you think Harper should have reversed? He reversed the registry and I think that was the only super unpopular law at the time.

All of them.
