CRFSC - Canadian Restricted and Non-Restricted Firearm Safety Restricted Firearms and Handguns Questions and Answers

Question 1

When storing a restricted handgun in a locked safe that is specifically built for the secure storage of firearms, which of the following statements is correct according to regulations?

Accepted Answer

A secure locking device is not required if the safe meets regulatory standards.

Answer

According to Canadian regulations, if a restricted firearm is stored in a vault, safe, or room that was specifically constructed or modified for the secure storage of firearms and is kept securely locked, it does not need to have a separate secure locking device (like a trigger lock) attached to it. The security of the safe itself meets the requirement.

Question 2

A handgun is classified as a 'prohibited' firearm in Canada if its barrel length is equal to or less than:

Accepted Answer

105 mm

Answer

The Criminal Code of Canada defines a handgun as prohibited if its barrel is 105 mm or less in length. This is a key distinction between restricted and prohibited handguns based on barrel size.

Question 3

You are a licensed owner of a restricted firearm and wish to take it to a gunsmith for repairs. According to the current regulations regarding an Authorization to Transport (ATT), what must you do?

Accepted Answer

You must obtain a specific, separate Authorization to Transport (ATT) from the Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) for this purpose.

Answer

While an ATT may have conditions allowing transport to your home club, transport to other locations like a gunsmith, a border crossing, or a gun show requires a separate ATT to be issued by the Chief Firearms Officer for that specific trip.

Question 4

Which of the following is a mandatory requirement for displaying a restricted firearm in a dwelling-house?

Accepted Answer

It must be unloaded, rendered inoperable with a secure locking device, and securely attached to the structure.

Answer

Canadian law is very strict about displaying restricted firearms. The firearm must be unloaded, have a secure locking device (like a trigger lock) attached, AND be securely fastened to a non-portable structure, such as the wall or display case frame.

Question 5

A person is transporting their restricted handgun to an approved shooting range. The unloaded handgun has a trigger lock and is inside a locked, opaque case. They stop for coffee and leave the vehicle unattended. Where must the locked case containing the handgun be stored inside the vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Locked in the trunk or a similar lockable compartment if available.

Answer

When leaving any class of firearm in an unattended vehicle, it must be secured out of sight. For vehicles with a trunk, the locked container holding the firearm must be placed in the locked trunk. If no trunk exists, it must be placed in a lockable compartment or, failing that, put out of sight within the locked vehicle.
