<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had a restricted weapon donated to the museum last year (unexpectedly in a box of other items which we
<i>had </i>discussed over the phone!) We contacted our local RCMP to discuss our options and make sure we followed current procedures. We have recently been contacted by a more specialized/senior officer to inform us that the advice provided was not accurate.
We find ourselves in violation of the firearms regulations and need to make a rather speedy decision as to whether to apply for a business license and have a staff member qualify for a firearms handling certificate or to seek to have the museum curator certified
as a public agent. So I am seeking some advice. If anyone else has looked at the regulations in greater detail and weighed the options I would appreciate your input.
