Feets / Collection / My build New exempted pistol has arrived! (BC)

Super excited that my first exempted pistol has finally arrived after ordering it beginning of June.

Shoutout to BCTSA, IRUNGUNS, and funny enough, the Federal Firearms office in Miramichi NB, for helping make the process as seamless as can be (in our current firearms climate).

Feel free to ask any questions on the process and I’ll do my best to reply/DM. :)

Edit: everyone that’s requested a DM, I will absolutely get to all of you later tonight or tomorrow! :)

I just realized something... Some stores may still have the CZ P-09 kadet pistols in storage. Not the conversions, the entire pistol. Would there be any issues with buying the .22 P-09 under the exemption and swapping the slide and barrel back to 9mm afterwards?

So there’s a janky grey area loophole people are interpreting to be okay with such a caliber swap. The law states that you have 30 days to inform the CFO of a modification to a restricted firearm’s caliber (amongst other modifications). So people will keep the 9mm on for 29 days, switch it out back to .22 for a day, and switch it back to 9mm for another 29 days. That or swap it to 9mm at the range and then back to .22 for storage

This is all so ridiculous if you step back and look at it all, the ban is so fucking absurd and it's hilarious how they can still be bypassed using these methods.
