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

Ya. But tens of thousands of people will find it hidden in the corner of the attic.

Like I said, sure you can’t prove it, but it sure makes gun owners look bad.

Who cares, prove it didnt happen that way is all that matters.

And then polytechnic runs a tv campaign “tens of thousands of gun owners claim have lost guns, and then the ban got lifted, and tens of thousands of gun owners mysteriously found and are attempting to register those guns…. Does that sound like a law abiding group of people to you”

You’re giving them fuel for the fire. You still have to play politics.

What looks stupid to you, is believed by 55% of Canadians. That’s why we are where we are.

Again, it’s not all the matters. Your attitude is contributing to the gun ban problem. You represent all gun owners. Act like it.

Edit, lol. I didn’t block you bud. Try again.

Edit #2. Double lol. Now he has either blocked me, or posted and deleted his comment. Because I have a notification he replied to me but I can’t see the reply.

You talking about me?

I just replied a second time to his comment. Which I couldn’t have done if he was blocked.

His feelings were hurt so he lied and said I blocked him.

3 Quick things.

  1. You did block me, youve since unblocked me now that this other user has replied I can see ur messages and ur no longer "page not found" / [Unavailable]

  2. I just replied a second time to his comment. Which I couldn’t have done if he was blocked.

    this is not how blocking and edited comments work. You can always edit even if you block someone so ur just lying and now caught in a second lie... well done champ, ur doing great.

  3. His feelings were hurt so he lied and said I blocked him.

    Why would my feelings be hurt by Poly doing something stupid? if anything they would be bolstered. I dont get to see ur 3rd reply after you blocked me, so follow the comment chain along to before that and think about what u just said for a moment. (hint, you ratted on yourself)

Pro tip, if ur going to lie on reddit, Make sure you at least understand how replies and blocking works. Also an edit is not a second reply. Go ahead and re-block me since I cant imagine anything productive coming from you speaking to me after lying twice.
