Good evening my friends. I have heard some bad news about my health and I am putting my ducks in a row. I do not know and have searched but couldn't find information on how to safely sell my rifles. Please can you help me with some information on that?

I'm sorry to hear this. I know a lot of local shops will buy used firearms, or if you contact the police they will come pick them up and destroy them for you. However I strongly urge you not to do the latter, hell if you're in SE Ontario DM me and I can refer you to an auctioneer, or many great gun shops or local buyers who are all licensed and on the up and up.

Either way, I wish the best for you and your family in spite of such lousy news.

What specifically are you unclear on? You can (and in fact now legally must) verify a potential buyer's information through the RCMP web portal, so you'll know that they're legit. If you'd rather skip that hassle, you can just take your guns down to your local gun store, or Cabela's, and sell them to the store on the spot. You won't get as much for them, since the store will want to maintain a good margin, but it's a lot simpler than finding a private buyer and jumping through the hoops of verifying their PAL and meeting up/shipping the gun.

Your executor can take legal possession and sell the guns. Sorry.

not sure if its something you'd want but your heirs can legally take possession of a gun after your death granted they get a license; and in the meantime there are numerous places i'm sure would hold onto your guns for cheap.

sorry about your health, just wanted to suggest that in case you were wondering if you could leave something with some sentimental value behind for your family.
