New license for a previously licensed firearm
Hi Guys,
I’m trying to find some info on the situation I am in and really struggling.
I am starting with my competency tests now, thereafter I would like to get a firearm license, I have never previously had a license.
My father has a browning high power that was previously licensed but has never been relicensed under the new act/conditions, so as I understand that basically makes it an illegal weapon?
The gun is still in immaculate condition and fires really nicely, specially with the modifications that have been made too it. I would really like to keep this and my father is getting quite old now as well.
My father does not want to go through the process of trying to get a license for it, if this is even possible.
Is there any way for me to legally take ownership of this firearm, without the risk that they will arrest my father or try and confiscate the the weapon.
Any advice on this will be appreciated.

Re: New license for a previously licensed firearm
Thanks for the replies.
We were both under the impression this gun was now unlicensed.
I will check up on the green card, he does have this.

Re: New license for a previously licensed firearm
So this firearm is definitely on the old license still.
My father is still under the impression that because he missed the deadline it is now an unlicensed firearm.
I would really like to go through the license process and take this over.
Can anyone confirm that there is no risk in this?
Mostly worried about the firearm being confiscated or my father being prosecuted.
