Chief Firearms Officers
There is a Chief Firearms Officer for each Province and Territory. The
Chief Firearms Officers are responsible for the decision-making and
administrative work related to licences, authorizations to transport and
authorizations to carry, transfers of firearms by individuals and businesses,
and gun show sponsorship approvals.
This involves determining an applicant's eligibility and either issuing,
refusing to issue, renewing or revoking the licence, authorization to transport,
carry, transfer or sponsor. It also involves setting conditions on these
documents.
The Chief Firearms Officers also designate instructors for the
Canadian Firearms Safety Course and Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course.
