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.

I’ve been wondering how feasible this actually is..

Today you claim you don’t know where it is.. it’s lost.

If government repeals the freeze, suddenly tens of thousands of people are trying to register previously unregistered firearms?

Sure if they can’t prove anything then you’re not guilty.. no risk of jail.. but the optics on gun owners sure wouldn’t look good.

Basically you're in a can't lose situation. You physically have them, and they were registered. They're NOT in a criminals hands. They're not going to hurt anyone if they're with you. So you contact a lawyer and get a consultation for a couple hundred bucks. "This is what's up, this is what I want to do. What's your advice?".

And hopefully when these fucking morons pull their heads out of their asses and acknowledge we're not the problem and reverse it all. I'm really hoping they recognize that Poly doesn't have 2M votes.

I'll tell ya; If the Libs delivered a balanced budget and dropped the ban, I don't know who I'd vote for. Love PP's attitude in the HoC but he's not getting traction with the fence sitters.

They’d get a super majority 100%
