Application / Regulation advice Moving to another province

Have a few non restricted and we may be moving to another province. Can a regular mover take them if they’re trigger locked or do they need to be in a locked container as well? And what do I do about some ammo that I would like to transport? Same locked container or must it be packed in a separate one?

I cannot fathom ever trusting some random movers with my firearms under any conditions.

As someone that used to be in warehouse maintenance I can also add that this is not just about the movers. Movers will often consolidate people's items at various warehouses, and you really have no idea who has access to those warehouses.

I had knowledge of what and where some very expensive things were, some of them merchandise from large business/companies. TVs, Pelotons, massive generators filled to the brim with copper. I also knew where the cameras were, how to turn off the cameras, the keys to every door there, all of the door codes, who comes around these buildings and at what times etc.

If I were some slimeball I could have easily sold this information. Absolutely under no circumstances should you trust a moving company with firearms, because it's not just the movers you need to worry about. I worked with some real sketchy ass dudes in that business.
