PAL and Divorce

[bruh]

I believe if you've gotten a divorce or suffered a separation in the last 3 years, you will not be granted your PAL.

What have you based this on? Opinion? People need to stop confusing their opinion with verifiable technical / legal information. Not only is the above quote grossly incorrect, it can mislead potential new firearm owners from attempting to get their PAL.

I always time my divorces so that they finalize towards the beginning of new PAL renewal. That way you got 3 or 4 clear years in and less complications.

I date back to before the FAC was invented, so it's understandable I'm on my fourth and final wife.

Read section 5(1) (2) of the firearms act. That's the criteria for eligibility for being issued a PAL. It wouldn't be the first time a woman was being difficult after a divorce. If she hasn't raised a safety concern to date, then pretty hard for her to raise one now knowing you just applied and need a signature. Her signature is not a requirement, they just want ex spouses to be aware in the event there is an issue.

Stop smoking whatever you're smoking.

Without a signature, they'll notify/interview her for sure.

It might take a while to get a PAL, but they are nothing if not thorough/pragmatic.
Best of luck!

Here is your answer:

The signatures of your current or former conjugal partners is not legally required. However, if their signatures is not provided, the Chief Firearms Officer has a duty to notify them of your application for a firearms licence.

In my hay day that would be most of the pretty girls in town.
Good thing they didn't have this outrageously ridiculous licensing system in place back then.
We didn't have to tell the government who we were f'king back then and amazingly there weren't a lot of guys going around shooting their ex-gfs.
