    Yes they do “make the rules” and it can be a big inconvenience for us should we get caught up in a situation were an officer refuses to accept the LAW, but then legal action could see you compensated generously for that inconvenience and you can go back to that same DFO and act like nothing happened

    The only possibility that I can see is if your wife's nephew has licensed his fire-arms under section 16 as dedicated sports weapons. They may require proof that you still comply with these conditions. If not the the DFO is making up his own rules.

    100% true. We need to hold them accountable.

    They flat out told me they won't accept my apps for my uncles guns, short of a screaming match, what other avenues do I have considering this is the dude that will be dealing with my firearm related activities for the foreseeable future.

    The above comments and frustrations are all well and good... until one of us tries to lodge documents (viz. a competency application or renewal, a licence application or renewal) with their local DFO who then refuses to process this unless and until they comply with the DFO's "home made" or "made up" rules and requirements....

    I really do tear out my hair when I hear about the above, not to mention the totally differing and, often, contradictory versions and requirements of the DFOs in different areas and provinces.

    Are there options to go above your local DFO? Can they be reported to someone somewhere?

    How can they be held accountable for this kak otherwise?

    OK so I have a question. According to the law and the forms and everything, you need to hand in a motivation. I'm guessing that these pictures of everything, the character interview forms, the newspaper articles and so on is also part of the problem? Reason for asking is my wife's licence needs to be renewed now, and suddenly she also needs to renew her competency, and for the competency she now has a list of things to fill in, including new character statement forms from so many people, and more. It's a damn mess.
