Aaron's First Erfurt

Well, all I can say is that at the rate our canadian $ is going, it will be the cheapest Luger in a few months!


On the Kanadian firearms law (C-68) there is a provision for the people owning a prohibited class firearm (such as any pistol with a 4" and less barrel, .32 and .25 calibers, and a host of other firearms), so they can sell these to people having the same "grand-father" rights or, by the same token, buy prohibited firearms from them (!!?!). Yes, a mere 1/16th of an inch can make a weapon a forbidden one... You can't possibly hide a Model 1911 in your pants but a Luger, yes, cant'you?. Er...well, that's about all the reasoning behind that law...

And If somebody wants to sell a pistol or any firearm to another on the other side of the frontier, that is easy: you just fax to your nearest firearms registrar a request for transporting that firearm, stating the day of the transport and the point of entry in the U.S.: after a while they fax you back the papers and that's all. What goes about once you are out of the country do not interest them...

Some "wild and crazy guys" have taken advantage of that quirk to de-register their pistols or prohibited firearms in that way: once you come back in Kanada, you are no longer the owner of the firearm so you won't be required to handover your gun should a confiscation law be passed.

It's beginning to look like "not so Great-Britain" around here.

Keep a watchful eye to the North: it's the antigun legislation test laboratory of North America.


By the way, my question on Erfurt Lugers still holds.
