Further, let's say this >gun had a barrel length short enough to put it in the prohibited class. The executor of an estate comes into possession of all firearms legally, even if the firearm was illegally owned by the deceased. The executor can take a reasonable amount of time to dispose of the firearm from the deceased estate. If that means registering an unregistered gun, selling it or gifting it to a qualified new owner, or becoming licensed and transferring that gun to herself, it is all legal. Full autos, 12/6's, it doesn't matter. So don't feel under duress to deal with the situation "immediately". The law allows you whatever 'reasonable' amount of time is required to make an informed decision and then to take action following due consideration.

Beneath its first mouth is a confusing aberration, a second, baby, jagged-toothed lower jaw that seems to grow timidly out of the fish-face. Two boys fishing in Lake Athabasca caught the 2.5-kilo goldeye two weeks ago and handed it over to the Mikisew First Nation. The image is a repellent one, simultaneously drawing in the viewer for a closer inspection and pushing them back in a foggy state of double vision. But there's another story developing in the same region that hasn't captured the attention of mainstream Canadians as would a two-mouthed fish. Perhaps it's because it's not nearly as visual a story. There are no tangible images of genetic mutations or abnormalities except for the erection of a few more gravestones. Natives in the small community of Fort Chipewyan, 300 km north of Fort McMurray and downstream from the oilsands, have been dying of a rare bile-duct disease in disproportionate numbers.
