Application / Regulation advice Flying with Prohib’s

Hi folks,

Does anybody have any experience flying commercial domestically with prohibited rifles?

I’m moving from Ontario to BC in the fall. Among my handguns, shotguns, rifles etc, I have prohibited 2024 era ban rifles that need to come with me aswell.

I can’t seem to find a definitive answer if these are even allowed on planes.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Cheers

I think the rules for prohibs (as it was before the ban) would apply here. You would need an att (which the ON CFO won't issue) in order to transport it. Without an att you can expect confiscation and probably arrest at the airport. NAL.

When the Liberals started the ban they didn't think past the media sound bites. They made no allowance for anything including transport or destruction. Congrats on the move out west as they are much more understanding about firearms there. Make your move quietly by road instead...

He’s moving to BC, one province too far. They’re more on board than the Ontario government publicly is.

They don't look at ATTs at the airport unless you are going through customs.

I thought that you were covered by the OIC amnesty for firearms that are newly prohibited, which is why they won't/can't issue an ATT for those. Also NAL

I believe storage is covered by the amnesty. But usage and transport are not.
