Here's a really dumbed-down version of the steps that will take place:

  1. Buyer becomes member of a club and obtains Long Term Authorization To Transport (LTATT)*
  2. Buyer finds gun
  3. Seller verifies the buyer's ID
  4. Buyer pays the seller
  5. Seller initiates the transfer with the CFO
  6. Buyer confirms the transfer with the CFO
  7. CFO makes up various excuses as to why it's taking so long to rubber-stamp the transfer
  8. Buyer starts shopping for ammo and other accessories
  9. Buyer gets impatient
  10. CFO finally approves the transfer and sends notification to seller and buyer
  11. CFO provides Short Term Authorization To Transport (STATT)
  12. Seller sends gun via Canada Post
  13. Buyer's patience wears thin
  14. Canada Post leaves parcel on front porch
  15. Buyer freaks out
  16. Buyer forgets about Canada Post stupidity once gun is in hand
  17. Buyer takes a day off from work to go try out gun at range


*This is currently being fought in the courts, but for now let's just assume that we have to comply.
