    Reasons for refusing PAL/RPAL application.

    HI,

    Does anyone know what are the possible reasons for a PAL being denied,
    aside from the obvious violent history?

    Bad credit? Truancy in payments? Others?

    Has anyone had a really hard time getting theirs?

    Thanks

    History of alcohol/drug abuse, recent job loss or breakdown of a serious relationship, history of mental illness, history of suicide attempts, recent bankruptcy.

    Those are just the ones off the top of my head. Other than the bankruptcy thing I don't think they care what your credit rating is.

    Criminal record with VIOLENCE
    When the government passes laws that only peaceable people obey, they are simply leaving the same people at the mercy of violent predators.

    Nope, you can still get your PAL if you were/are a "bigtime" drugdealer as long as you weren't voilent

    That's surprising, but then again....not really.

    Negative, when convicted of trafficking under CDSA a 10 year firearm prohib. is ordered.
