I would be cautious about an open admission to breaking Canadian law because there will always be someone who will get their panties in a twist and try to moralize about it.
I found dealing with the registry interesting. I called once to register a rifle I planned to take to the next gunshow. The caliber and barrel length were not original. Whenb told I would have to take it to a verifier, I replied that I had no intention of going to a verifier and they could register or not register it and I didn't care much one way or another. The rifle was then registered.
We can only hope the registry stays gone and continue to push for reasonable regulations concerning restricted and prohibited arms. GD
