I have some sort of license but don't know how I can help you in Canada. The ATF website is www.atf.gov where you can browse the laws and regulations.....what's the question?

Well, I have been on that ATF site and it is like trying to navigate a minefield in a tidal swamp. My buddie Ray, won a rifle at the NAWEOA conference last summer and the prize was put up of course by an american company and it had to be shipped from the US to a holder of an FFL here in Canada. Well Ray's "FREE" gun cost is costing him $250- $350 dollars by the time it gets here and he has to go over to a gunshop four hours away to pick it up. The gunshop that has the FFL and is recieving Ray's "FREE" gun is really forthcoming with ANY information about how they acquired their FFL. Ray made the comment that I should get a FFL and have a sideline business. So here I am. I have found that there are 8 or 9 different licenses !!!!

Ugh, sounds like it would have been a better option to just sell it and take the money across the border...
