I had a situation this morning where my canoe that I had strapped my 3 gun safes on sunk in deep water.
All my firearms were lost to the sea.

Good evening to you sir, I hope that other than the sea incident you've endured, that you folks are well and you're recovering from the trauma.
On a Canuck forum I'm part of, they've noted that a particular lake near an unnamed Canadian city has had so many canoe accidents that it's actually flooding the lakeside properties.
Truly however, if it was going to happen, this absolutely would be the year for it one suspects.
All the best to you as you recover once again sir and welcome to what used to be a Canadian issue.

Good Evening Dwayne,
Sad state off affairs that owning a canoe and guns has become indeed! There used to be so many skilled canoeists in Canada and North America in general.
When the door kickers start their 'heroic action" saving us, I would also hate to be Mike in Canmore. Apparently he has purchased a good number of firearms too.
All anyone recalls is that his PAL was valid at the time of purchase. Last name and address? Don't remember. He was a nice guy that enjoyed an ice cold Coke during the deal.

troutfly;
Good evening to you sir, I hope it was an acceptable day for you folks on the other side of the big hills and all is well with you and yours.
When the registry died, there was in this part of BC - so I've been given to understand - a concerted exchange program which would have had the effect of nullifying "a lot" of any pre-existing data...
Funny you mention Mike from Canmore, as on or around that time I met Bob from Quesnel, well he was in Quesnel then, or was it Williams Lake... he had a valid PAL of course.
Stay well sir and all the best to you on your hunts this fall.
Dwayne
Hi Dwayne,
I assume all is well with you and yours. We are in good shape here on the flat part of Alberta.
Seems we have had similar sales engagements in our home Provinces. Folks do move around a bit too.
That first week after the death of the registry saw plenty of sales, exchanges and barters of many good guns across the land.
All within the confines of the law.
We are headed out in a couple of weeks on a Foothills hunting trip,
armed with rifles, shotguns and fly rods. The plan is to eat trout and grouse for a week and come home with an early season elk.
Stay well and enjoy a great Fall that ends with a full freezer,
Jeff
