Thread: Firearm Registry Data Questions and Answers

I gave them the example of trigger spring and the supervisor said you don't need to register that spring but you will need to register all the firearms.
So basically they use anything to create that activating circumstance and they will advise you via email.

Thanks for that, good to know

Goodness me

@DPT have you also got a headache and brick pattern on your forehead yet???? I know I have.

He is not the only one

This should be lots of fun at one of the big auctions.

So guys just to clear it up what is a major part

You just can't fix stupid; there’s not a pill you can take or a class you can go to.

What I found out today is even if it's not a part that needs to be registered, eg suppressor
If you complete a mail order form for this then it is an activating circumstance and therefore you must register all (not including suppressor) within 30 days
Didn't see that one coming but apparently it's there in the legislation

found out from where and who???

The arms officer that processed the mail order permit then after waiting 30mins for the authority to clarify that it was in the legislation. They gave me the reference (something like schedule 1 B part 5) but I'm still not seeing it there so I think I need to take a long hard look tonight

I can't find anything on mail orders being a trigger
I end up going around in circles trying to read it
Either way part 4 is the circumstances, part 5 is the timeframe

Anyone else doing a mail order?

Youd fukn think ammo would be, firearm isnt much use without ammo let alone a suppressor etc.

Suppose it gives the gangs time to stock up on ammo....

On the mail order approval from police for a suppressor:

NOTE TO PURCHASER: the receipt of this item represents an Activating Event under the new Firearms Registry legislation. Once you take possession of this item you are lawfully required to provide information about all firearms, restricted weapons, major firearm parts, prohibited magazines or pistol carbine conversion kits in your possession. The timeframe for doing this is 30 days.

So from above it looks like receipt of the mail order permit is the trigger not the receipt of the item.
Which ever way thank goodness I got my 10 shot CZ mag a couple of months ago.
Likewise an import permit. Last year I had an import permit but ended up not using it. If I was to do that again (get permit but not use it) it appears I would have to register my firearms. Again the trigger isn't the receipt of the item but the permit itself. Gotcha!

@zimmer quote from my email from the department. No as I got the permit in before hand, Im sweet.
"When you receive your magazine and notify us by email, as per the Section 13 Regulation on your permit, this will not create an activating event with the Firearms Registry Team, as you do not need to register a magazine"
Thought it might be the case but the way these things work its hard to tell.
