Not quite correct. It is possible to have a legal deact that hasn't been Proof House certified. A deactivated weapon is one that has been "rendered incapable of discharging any shot, bullet or other weapon and has consequently ceased to be a firearm within the meaning of the Act". A deact that has been Proof House certified benefits from an automatic presumption that it is legal. But that doesn't preclude the possibility that a non-certified one meets the "rendered incapable..." etc. criteria and is also legal. BUT; you run the risk of having to establish this in court
