So now you are limiting it to powder and primers, what happened to showing it to buying anything related to firearms such as a press or shotgun chokes? I mean really, a PAL to buy shotgun chokes, or a loading press? Get real!
As to why I am opposed to having to show my PAL when it isn't required, it's because of the years of having my rights and freedoms being trampled upon, by people like the CFOs that are imposing their own rules,such as in the case of the back door registries where they ordered business owners to record PALs and private information, even though it was no longer legal to maintain a registry for non restricted firearms. I wrote many letters , to MPs, MLAs, the Premier, the Prime Minister, and others in order to get this type of nonsense stopped. I also wrote similar letters to have the long gun registry ended, and apparently enough other people did the same, because the long gun registry is gone. I do what I can to protect the rights of firearms owners, and this includes not allowing businesses to collect private information, that the laws doesn't require them to collect.
So while I am taking the time to stand up for firearms owners rights, what are you doing? How many letters did you write to help get rid of the long gun registry? How many letters did you write in opposition to the back door registries?
If more people took the time to contact those in power we could probably get more reforms to the firearm act, and eliminate even more stupid rules and regulations, unfortunately, most Canadians choose to just do what someone in authority or a business owner tells them to do, so we are stuck with the ridiculous regulations, as well as the stupid store policies.
