Need some advice from experienced Canadian gun owners

[u/Direct-Department-80]

Hey all ! I recently inherited 3 guns. Absolutely no judgement to any legal gun owners out there! It’s just not for me and I would love any advice on what my legal obligations are before I give them away. I know I need to have them registered first before I do anything else. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I understand registration is for the gun itself, whereas license is for the person. Therefore I don’t need a license since I don’t intend on using them….is this correct? Once I register, do I need to do sometime else? For example, do I need to “de-activate” them ? FYI, they are from the early 1900s. They are not considered antiques according to Canadian law. Thanks for the advice fellow Canadians !

Are you the executer or just the person receiving them? The executer is the one that takes care of the transfer I believe. Unless you are in Quebec there is no firearms registry. If you wish to keep them and they are not prohibited you will need to get your PAL. Best bet would be to contact a lawyer.
