People in ON have got their license days after the mandatory 28. We've also heard stories here of people in BC waiting months. From anecdotal evidence, ON CFO is faster

I don't think I am up to date. What is the mandatory 28?

I'm sure the "28 day rule" is a progression from the FAC days. A so-called "cooling off" period we had when purchasing restricted firearms. After purchase we had to bring the R to the local cop shop with ATT for storage while the transfer was being processed. It took a month, more if it was a prohib.

You know, because we're all unhinged maniacs that get violent ideas so we need to take a chill pill....

Imagine the mayhem that would happen if it was 27 days! It would be like the purge. I don't even want to think about 26 days.
