    Not according to the RCMP. That is a great way to lose one's license.

    You need to read the firearms act.

    And post a single link to any news article or court decision that shows anyone's licenses has ever been revoked for saying the purpose of purchase was self defense.

    FYI this is what the firearms act says:

    Permitted purposes

    28. A chief firearms officer may approve the transfer to an individual of a restricted firearm or a handgun referred to in subsection 12(6.1) (pre-December 1, 1998 handguns) only if the chief firearms officer is satisfied

    (a) that the individual needs the restricted firearm or handgun
    (i) to protect the life of that individual or of other individuals, or
    (ii) for use in connection with his or her lawful profession or occupation; or
    (b) that the purpose for which the individual wishes to acquire the restricted firearm or handgun is
    (i) for use in target practice, or a target shooting competition, under conditions specified in an authorization to transport or under the auspices of a shooting club or shooting range that is approved under section 29, or
    (ii) to form part of a gun collection of the individual, in the case of an individual who satisfies the criteria described in section 30.

    They will simple get a psychiatrist to declare you "paranoid" and "mentally incompetent" for being a prepper. It already happened to one guy in the U.S. that went on the show.

    Doug made me laugh. "When Survival's the goal, it's into the Spider Hole!"
