Misc Moving with restricted/prohib
Hey all,
Im military and am moving a couple hours away due to a posting from one base to another (same province). I have restricted and prohibited firearms. The issue is that my closing date for my current house is a few days before my possession date of my new house. I have to stay in a hotel for the 3 days in-between. Has anyone ever experienced this? I cant be the first... Do I get an ATT to my hotel one day and an ATT to my new residence once I have possession?
Thank you

Call your CFO. They'll provide guidance. Most are good to deal with. Except that one time that I called from a VOIP office phone in Alberta and got routed to Quebec who proceeded to give me shit for having unregistered non-restricteds. Downright rude and condescending tone. So I matched energy and asked them what the rules were in a non-retarded market and they transferred me to the AB CFO who answered my questions in record time. That was a fun day.

As a Québecois and firearm enthusiast myself,I am so sorry you talked to that ignorant and rude asshole.This guy is an exeption (and unfortunately in a position of power too...).Screw that guy,there are many great people all over our gun ranges here in Québec!

To clarify my position, I have zero issues with firearm owners in your province, just the asshats who hold sway over you. I wish nothing but good things for ALL law abiding firearm enthusiasts in this country, regardless of whether our province, your province, or neither separate haha

I had a similar situation at the end of 2021 when I had a month between houses. Pretty straightforward. The strangest part was when they told me they couldn’t give an ATT for each previously restricted but now prohibited because they “no longer had that information” so instead my ATT was for my restricted firearms- all listed - and then something like ‘any prohibited firearms.’

Talk to the CFO, obviously. But they don't really care too much. Put your travel dates down as when you leave and when you take possession. They'll consider the firearms as being transported for that time. Me too, when I was posted there were a couple days in-between. I even put down that I'd be staying at my in-laws. They emailed me, asking to call, and we're like "what's with this extra address?" I explained that I was staying there (would be the same for you while at hotels) and they said it was unnecessary. The ATT covered everythkng between the two addresses between the two dates.

As for the prohibs, yeah....they know all about that and again, they hardly care. Because your ATT is for a change of adress, it's all covered.

This will be fine.
I’ve got an ATT to fly from my house to the airport, then to a conference in a different province, stay in that city for a couple days, then transport it to one airport, to the next airport, and then to the US border.
It didn’t seem any different to me from doing a regular ATT request.

Call your CFO and tell them what’s going on and they’ll be able to help.
