I have endorsements on my RPAL which allow me to own and collect (but not currently transport for discharge), specific long-guns that were prohibited by OIC during the early 1990s. I am qualified to possess everything other than fully-automatic firearms. I am grandfathered for OIC 12(3), (4) and (5) long-guns and 12(6) Short-Barrelled Handguns.

Yeah, except for the part where you have to be an old man like me (61) to have been grandfathered back in the early 1990s....
