Gun Ban
I'd like someone to clarify this for me. I thought that shotgun with 20 mm bore were exempt from the ban. Now I get a letter from the rcmp stating that anything over 20 mm is prohibited. I don't get it. And another thing how do they know I have firearms, my wife has a firearms license and no firearms and didn't get a letter. U hope gun dealers haven't been submitting who owns firearms.

Your shot gun has a bore greater than 20mm? Better go measure.

Take the choke out of your 12 ga and measure. And see if it's less than 20 mm.

Read the regs. It clearly states 12 gauge and 10 gauge shotguns are not affected. The measurement is based on the bore diameter between chamber and choke- NOT the choke.

Some pumps have been banned. This list changes daily as the rcmp quietly reclassifies rifles and shotguns making them prohibited. Have a look below it’s a link to the frt with the affected by ban and shotgun filters on.

Pretty sure you're chamber is over 20 mm too.

A 12 gauge should not be 20mm, but 18.5mm. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(firearms)
Is it that you have one of the banned AR style shotguns.

I spoke with a couple gun store owners, and they told me that they would absolutely never give out the names and other info of folks they did business with, and that they would have to pry it out of their cold dead hands, reason being, that if it got out that they were sharing that info, they would loose a significant amount of business!

I called the Canadian firearms branch and they said that shotguns are not banned. Even gave them the model and make of my 3 semiautos and was told they are fine. So I am not worrying about it until I have to. I will be duck hunting with them this fall.

I would not be scheduling time off or getting pumped for that the way things are going.

The person you talked to at the CFP was F.O.S, they have banned some shotguns since the OIC was announced, granted, not your average hunting shotguns. Blair will not commit to getting the OIC reworded or the firearms act amended or the RCMP and CBSA measurement definitions fixed either, he's been called out in the HOC twice this week on that, dodged answering and lied in his answers to the HOC to boot. It's all on video.
