Gun Registry New Rules

[Sargeant Slaughter]

If the registry is over, why are the RCMP still sending my sister in law notices to register her deceased fathers guns or to turn them in to the police. His pal has expired since his passing and they sent notices to renew it, which of course she did not.

If she is the executor of his will , she doesn't even need a licence and has a reasonable amount of time ( even a couple of years) to sell them to somebody that is licenced .

I'm sure the anti-gun CFOs from the provinces and territories will be stepping up to fill any vacuum with a bunch of made up laws in short order and the even more anti-gun RCMP will be reclassifying as many NRs to Rs and Ps as fast as they possibly can.

The Long Gun Registry hasn't been over for all that long - notices to register would have most likely been issued while the law was still in effect. However, if she wants to keep the guns, she still needs a license. As another commented, if she's the executor, she's got some time. If she gets a license, she keeps the (now unregistered) guns.

There is a sports store in Athabasca that swiped my PAL when I bought a box of ammo. And the Canadian Tire in Whitecourt wanted to record all my info into a book which was just hanging from a string outside the display case. So I just left.

I have never been asked to show my PAL to buy ammo, at most they just ask if I have one, and when I ask if they want to see it, I just get "no, thats okay, as long as you have it on you".

Maybe because it just ended On Friday April 6th 2012 at 12:01 Am?

And it is now April 10th 2012.

How do you verify if someone has a valid pal in order to sell them a gun on the EE? Call RCMP and verify?

[Longshot84]

Call the CFC and confirm.

[Longshot84]

Oh - obviously you should have the PAL number, and first/last name.

I would probably request a scan or fax of the pal. and then verifiy that the shipping address they gave you matches the address of that pal number on hand at CFC.

otherwise if someone had a stolen pal card they could get stuff shipped to there own address.
