Yes & in fact, as he has stated, he took the course & passed the tests but hasn't actually applied for his PAL yet. As such, his wife (warden) can still KIBOSH his aspirations in the phone interview. I would suggest then that Red tries diplomacy at least until his PAL shows up.

Ah, someone that understands the situation. She still has the opportunity to "F" this whole thing up for me until I get the damn PAL. I don't think she realizes this yet and I'm sure as hell not going to tell her. But the fact remains, If push comes to legal shove, she could easily cause my application for a PAL to be denied.
All I can do is say nothing. Maybe I'll just stuff one of these big balls in my mouth. Of course as George Carlin used to say when seeing a dog lick his balls, "If I could do that I'd never go out!"

Bide your time.

There will be something she really wants that you can take a similar stand about.

Tit for tat. She gets what she wants, you get what you want.

It won't take long.

Before I took the course I talked it over with my wife and she agreed guns would be ok. I just passed the test for the CFSC and am about to apply for my PAL and she changes her mind. So getting a PAL is ok but it's not ok to get guns. I have to say this is a big let down.
So now what? I am booked into a hunters safety course but without a gun, I'm not going to be much of a hunter. Sometimes womens logic gets to me. Licence is ok but gun not ok. Wtf?

i feel bad for you cause you need your wife's permission to begin with.
then she changes her mind? lol why does she run your life should be the better question, and how did you let it get to this point should be the next.
 
First things first, get your pal.
Keep talking about getting your pal, hunting/shooting etc but leave the gun purchase out for now. You realize it can be denied because they may talk to her about it. I say may because (unless she lied) my gf aka common law live in gf, was never contacted by the RCMP or CFO. Anyhow get your pal and show you can be reasonable and responsible, then work on getting your guns.

What is the actual problem anyhow? Does she feel guns are dangerous, they should never be owned by anyone except police? Or is it you shouldn't own them?
Show her they're not dangerous, only people are. "Guns don't kill people..."
If cops & criminals can have guns, law abiding citizens can have guns.
If it's you? I suspect you'd already have them and she'd be too dominated to say no, so I'm not touching that.

Trips to the range might work, might not.
Fighting or throwing it in her face like some have suggested might work but also may just make everything worse.
Talk and reason with her, just see what the issue is then work on that. If she's really anti I'm sure you already knew and she wouldn't go for you getting your pal. This is a problem you can solve.
Take your time with it and go slow.

CFO at least in Ontario, does not call the spouse. your spouse just signs paperwork.

You have more chance of your "friends" saying something dumbass in jest during the phone interview than anything else. :)

Re-read section "E" of the 921 form and it only states:

"If the signature of your current spouse, common-law or other conjugal partner is not provided,
the Chief Firearms Officer has a duty to notify them of your application."

Otherwise I believe they would typically only call your spouse if there are "concerns".

No one I know has ever had their spouse called on a PAL application.

Mine was called for my RPAL only but I have heard of calls for PAL recently. I believe they are getting tougher in light of recent events. Never the less, she has to sign the application.

True, I just received my PAL a couple of weeks ago,and my wife was never contacted through the process.
 
To be fair I got my pal & R so I thought she'd be contacted but whatever.

I've heard stories of ex-girlfriends or wives (mainly ex girls) causing chaos for firearms owners with the law, so being 'nice' really is a good path to follow, besides if your being reasonable why can't they?

Answer is obvious and simple. Give up any and all ambitions to owing guns. Tell her you luv her, obey her wishes and have cancelled all the firearm related courses. Live happily ever after.

And don't log into CGN anymore. SIMPLE :)

No kidding!

The guy didn't even bother to marry her, and still has to get her permission for his own personal business....cp:
 
Work on her. I went from "there's no way there will be any guns in this house" to last year obtaining my RPAL, to now a safe full of toys.

Here's how I pulled it off. To wife: I want to get my PAL cause friend at work wants to mentor me in hunting. You know how you said I need to develop a hobby other than emptying beer bottles? This will be fun, and he will store my guns in his vault at his house.

Brought her over to friend's house, demonstrated firearms safety, she still wouldn't touch one.

Wow, look at that, sale on gun safe 50% off, friend running out of room in his safe. I have to put my lowly sks somewhere, it's a collector's item. House is alarmed, no need to worry about thiefs but just to be sure showed wife how it is bolted down and hidden from sight. Ammo in a separate cabinet, key for ammo cabinet locked up, all hidden from the furnace man, etc.

It took some time but she actually came to the range and fired a hand gun, and loved it. She is now thinking of getting her PAL. Hunting remains a "no girls allowed" affair but you too can pull it off.
 
My friend renewed his PAL last year. Had just ended an 8 year relationship. Not horrible but could have been better. He was worried that she would screw him up on his renewal and told the police his concerns. "I'm not a bad guy but"....
They said, "happens all the time". Don't worry as long as there is no violence involved, you should be fine. He was............
The police know that people who no longer "love" each other can get their panties in a knot sometimes.
I don't want that person to have guns because I don't like them is not a good enough reason for the police to reject your application. I don't want my husband to have a gun because "I" don't like guns doesn't go too far either.

I did both safety courses last year and finally sent in my forms about 3 weeks ago. Did the phone interview on Thursday - my 2 references were interviewed too - my wife didn't get consulted at all. Just link dealing with anyone - you get more flies with honey!
