Application / Regulation advice Need some advice from experienced Canadian gun owners

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 !

If they're still considered non restricted they dont need to be registered unless you live in Queerbec. Get your PAL, sell them to another PAL. Easy peasy.
