Non-restricted firearms (most rifles and shotguns) must be unloaded prior to transportation. It is advisable to transport them in some kind of container if possible, and to keep them in an area of the vehicle where they cannot be seen. They must be stored out of sight in your locked vehicle if you need to leave the vehicle for any reason.

Restricted (and prohibited) firearms, in addition to being unloaded, must be disabled with a trigger lock or similar device, and be locked inside an opaque container that is not easily broken into. You are expected to travel by a reasonably direct route from your residence to the point of sale. Before transporting any handgun or other restricted firearm, you must obtain an Authorization to Transport (ATT) by calling 1-800-731-4000 (at the prompts, press 1 for English or 2 for French, and 5 for the Chief Firearms Office for Northwest Services in the Edmonton area). Have your Registration Certificate or C-306 certificate handy, as well as your firearms license (if applicable).

If you are currently unlicensed, you may be refused an ATT if you are selling only a portion of the restricted firearms that are registered to you. Unlicensed individuals are expected to either (a) have a license application in place, or (b) be selling all of their firearms rather than obtain a license.
