Application / Regulation advice Handgun ownership of deceased

Hello all,

I have a family member who recently passed away who owns some handguns I was wondering if there is anyway to have the passed down to me? The guns themselves are older cowboy style guns and I recently have been interested in Cowboy Action Shooting but obviously cant buy a revolver for the sport and this would be a great opportunity to not only get one but also keep the collectible in the family.

With the laws in place is this even possible anymore?

Thanks in advance

Just inherit, hide it, and don't tell anyone. The social contract is gone since stupid liberals don't understand grand-father clauses. Wait for a conservative government and then re-register them since they will have to consider all the failure of a freeze.

The fantasy Conservative government is not going to indulge the return-of-Harper-era-firearms-laws fantasy.

You need to let go of that.

It’s the only thing we have left to hope for. They’re the only party that has said anything pro-gun recently and they remain the only viable option for potentially fixing this country’s shitty gun laws.

Doing things based on hope is stupid. Lets be realistic instead. Look at all the recent bills the government has introduced. It makes it 100% clear that they do not want Canadians to have rights, freedoms, and most definitely dont want citizens having firearms.
