Is anyone getting through to the CFO for restricted transfers?

I understand that the sheer volumes of transfers is slowing things down immensely, but everytime i try to start a Restricted transfer by calling in for the reference number, it drops the line. How are gun stores managing to get anything done?

Is there a different number we can call or a way to do it all online?

Super frustrating and it feels like the gov is more than happy to make it as slow and painful as possible.

F*** I think the government and the RCMP are in cahoots right now over this

But yeah I feel you dude super frustrating I waited 3 years to get my restricted pal because I have an old criminal record and finally finally I got my license amended to be able to own restricted firearms I have two pistols in Alberta that I can take possession of as soon as I'm allowed super frustrating dude like I want to pull my hair out but I'm bald 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Sorry for the 10,000 answers to your comment there but I feel you bro good luck to you I hope you get through and get what you need man before the government freezes a sport that I haven't even got to start yet

I don't want to go out and shoot living animals in the bush you know what I mean it's so much easier to do that in this country than to go and shoot paper silhouette targets

I don't get it there's literally four different numbers that are associated with a single restricted firearm ( your rpal #, the firearm registration Certificate Number, The firearm Identification Number ,and the FRT Number ) Do they really think any of these people are using their legally owned firearm for crimes or even losing track of them hell no

Just ridiculous

Im in the same boat except no record, i just loafted on getting the Rpal. But i did my rpal end of 2021 and got my buddy with his restricted to buy me a Dan wesson 1911 that was on sale. Now im rushing to get it transfered because they just issued my rpal last week! Unfortunately with the ban announcement like you said its ridiculous that we cant get a hold of anyone.
