    Exactly. Every other retailer accepts the PAL # over scans. I can't imagine that the CFO would require something different for one specific retailer.
    I'm not even going to get into why sending ID scans is a terrible idea.

    I was all lined up to make some purchases during their grand opening but scrubbed that idea when I saw the ID requirement.

    I purchased ammunition before via their web. They informed me that they don't keep the scanned data at all.

    Hi Guys,

    We have removed the PAL and driver's licence portion for signing up new accounts. I didn't even know it was setup like this until this thread. It was originally programmed only to appear for checking out when
    purchasing firearms, ammo and powder, primers. I was just send an email that it has been fixed, so it should ready to go now or latest tomorrow. Sorry for the confusion. Happy Shopping..

    Last GS I ordered from online (Alberta) politely advised me they were not permitted to retain my personal information (PAL) on file. I know credit card information is heavily protected via PCI rules (Purchase Card Industries) where storage of this information must be rock solid or preferably not kept on file at all. Another LGS (Ontario) does not record PAL information at all. They just look at it to make sure it's me and current. Other LGS will record all the details from my card for both firearms and ammunition.
    Other than restricted's, I have no idea what the actual rules are.

    Do you still require the pictures for checkout though or will just the PAL # suffice?

    If I order a firearm over the phone from your sale that I would pickup at your store on a later date, can I just provide my RPAL # over the phone to process the order?
