    Why was I asked for my DL number when I bought gun powder?

    First off thanks for getting in some Varget, but I was extremely displeased with being asked for my DL number. I consider that an invasion of my privacy and as far as I know there is no legal reason to ask for personal information when buying gun powder.

    Its for the Explosives act.
    Primers and powders require a form to be filled out. It entails your name and address... some places will ask for your DL to write it down for you. Others will hand you the form to fill out yourself.

    That is exactly correct. If we don't get a DL or a name and address we cannot sell powder. It is part of the explosives act.

    You felt it was an invasion of your privacy, yet you still gave up the information. If it was a real problem for you, then you shouldn't have made the purchase. Simple.

    I noticed one of the local Can Tire stores has posted they require BOTH a Photo ID and PAL to purchase a firearm.

    I'd give a DNA sample if it meant getting some varget.

    I don't see an issue with showing my DL, PAL, whatever it may be.

    Better watch, they will take your birthday away too.

    I would be more worried about someone grabbing the whole wallet when you aren't looking or paying attention, much bigger things to worry about in this world.

    Want invasion of privacy , try cross border with your cell phone.

    That is why I started to keep bats in my attic.
