Application / Regulation advice Did any one recently updated their handgun registration?

Did anyone recently (after handgun freeze) update their handgun registration? Like changing the calibre?

Did it work out? Did you get new caliber registration?

My good sir, I do not challenge your knowledge of the CFIS/RWRS. I dare not do it.

Where I differ with you is that on regulations. I do not find an exception carved out for configuration change explicitly mentioned in the regulations (or act itself). If such exists, my apologies in advance.

Because that's how every piece of Canadian legislature is written. If it isn't explicitly prohibited, it is allowed.

Are you new to Canada?

Except, in this case Handgun registration certificate issuance is categorically banned by the act with an explicit exception for Olympic shooting.

So default state of handgun registration certificate issuance is banned.

Now if act or regulation explicitly carves out an exception for handgun configuration change in issuance, as I said, I most humbly ask your grace and apologize.
