Preserving History, Ensuring Compliance
In the ever-evolving landscape of Canadian firearm regulations, many owners find themselves at a crossroads. Whether it’s an heirloom with deep sentimental value, a rare historical piece, or a firearm recently affected by legislative changes, the question of how to keep these items legally and safely is more relevant than ever.
At Rangeview Sports, we are proud to announce our specialized Firearm Deactivation Service. This service allows owners to retain their firearms as non-restricted curios or display pieces by permanently altering them according to the strict standards set by the RCMP and the Registrar of Firearms.
Why Consider Deactivation?
– Deactivation is the process of rendering a firearm permanently inoperable. Once a firearm is officially deactivated and inspected:
– No License Required: It is no longer considered a “firearm” under the Firearms Act, meaning you do not need a PAL/RPAL to possess it.
– Safe Display: You can legally display the piece in your home or office without the need for trigger locks or a safe.
– Legacy Preservation: You can pass down a piece of history to family members who may not have a firearms license.
– Compliance: It provides a legal path for firearms that may have become difficult to transfer or maintain under current OIC (Orders in Council) regulations.
Our team of experts ensures that the deactivation process is performed with the utmost care, maintaining the external aesthetic and historical integrity of the firearm while ensuring it meets all legal requirements for its new status.
