Lol, I can just imagine the lineups to register firearms.

I can only hope that people aren't such sheep this time around.

It’ll be back everywhere, just a matter of time.

I wonder how many thousands of lives the new registry has saved in this, it's first official day? I'm waiting anxiously for an update from the proper authorities in Quebec, CBC, etc.

"We" don't have a lot of choice in the matter. If Eastern Canada wants a liberal gov't, we get one too.

I'm sure the incredibly reassuring statistics will be released very soon, letting us all know how much safer Quebecers are as compared to the rest of us savages.

It only works of people comply. Canada's firearms laws are basically equivalent to "The honor system".

I for one will be purchasing any firearms or accessories from Quebec, in fact, I will boycott all Quebec based businesses. Hopefully other people will do the same resulting in lost revenue for Quebec. Hit them in the wallet, and they may reconsider.

It will be interesting to see how effective or ineffective Quebec's registry will be compared to the rest of the provinces with no registry.

If I travelled to Quebec to a guided hunt am I required to register my firearm I brought with me?

Same, I can't even think of a business in QC I would buy from but even guys on CGN I won't do business with.

That is until your angry wife or teenager tells the authorities you have unregistered firearms and you are charged with unauthorized possession.

Even if there is a gun I like on an exchange, here, CGN, or anywhere for that matter, if the address is in QC it's an automatic deal breaker for me, has been for some time now.
I don't deal with QC based businesses as a general rule, in fact.

You don't even have to own a gun for a disgruntled citizen to call in a gun threat and get into a whole pile of trouble. Guilty until proven innocent in the case of the firearms act, no doubt.

I don't however know of anyone who has been charged with having an unregistered firearm if they were in possession of a valid license. If an angry wife or teenager is calling their husband / dad in for firearms offenses, it's safe to say there are more problems than unregistered firearms going on.

Unauthorized possession usually equals no license, not possessing an unregistered firearm. We all know that the almost all firearm offenses are committed by people that don't have a license

I follow the same policy, as a general rule.

Mulehahn · #20 01-29-2018, 02:38 PM

I try to follow the same policy of not buying from Quebec, but the unfortunate thing is Remington, Ruger, S&W, Rossi, and Thompson Center in Canada are either based out of Quebec or do all their warranty work there. I have several Rugers but won't buy another one. I was also looking at getting an M&P15 and a new Marlin but will keep looking now.

farcicle...

So I want to go caribou hunting in Quebec. I fly into QB with guns and no registration. What laws have I broken?

A law only for the citizens of QC? Anyone from any other province can freely travel throughout QC with their firearms?

Maybe we should write them and tell them to move thier business to Alberta which is a firearms friendly Province.

Same here.

I have family in quebec. When I was there last year a brother in law bought a used shot gun, we got back to his place and he said he had to register it. I was blown away, I hadn't heard of it . Sure enough, he called up a registration centre and registered his new to him gun, against my advice.
I guess if the average person is not willing to challenge a provincial law which is superceded by federal law, then what can you do.
But, if you've ever been to quebec city you'll know there's a sign that says "welcome to the national capitol of quebec" so its not surprising they make their own laws

Full Curl Earl · #25 01-30-2018, 07:02 AM

I am wondering if all sales out of Quebec to the rest of Canada must be registered? I am assuming so. If that’s the case, I see a number of companies going out of business. Which is a shame. Years ago a rather large firearms and accessories store asked for my PAL when I was attempting to purchase magazines for a rifle. I told them that wasn’t necessary for magazines and the guy said “we do here because of criminal use sometimes and we want to be good community members and be able to assist the police when we can”.
Told them they could keep the magazines and that ludicrous policy in Toronto.

Cheyenne 1 · #26 02-01-2018, 01:47 PM

Quebec has always had the long gun registry.
When we got rid of ours they kept theirs.
I bought a gun from a guy in Quebec a few years back and he was unsure how to get it un registered as he sold it out of the province. Told him I didn't care.

So let them keep the registry there we don't want it.

parfleche · #27 02-02-2018, 12:19 AM

Gun owners in Quebec don,t like the registry any more than you fellows do!
Remember when we had to do it? All this I wont deal with Quebec gun owners is simply hurting yourselves, What if the Americans had taken that attitude on us when we had to register our firearms? How would you have felt?The more you patronize the companies and individuals there, the more you prove there is no reason for a registry !They are no different than you and I , but I guess you fear what you don,t or wont understand! Blame the politicians not the gun owners! Pretty sad to split ourselves up like this !
Then again if you were honest , the registry is likely not the real reason some of you wont deal with Quebecois! But whatever blows your hair back !LOL

I do not " fear the registry"as you put it and I understand fully , I lived there for a while.
Quebec is one place I steer clear of , and there are several members here I won't deal with that do not in Quebec for that matter.

Governments will say and do what ever they think will get them re-elected!

What I think is relevant to us is what changes they make from the last time. Will it now appeal to more people or will it just be for P.Q.?

As one member has said, if they can make this a popular issue, it can and will spread.

It would be great if we could get Cadex to move out west. I wonder how big of a hit to sales it would take to motivate them to leave Quebec? I suspect most of there sales are to the USA I wonder how the Americans could help
