    Let me be the first to point out the obvious... there are no dumb questions!
    PAL is the acronym for Possession and Acquisition License.
    The government mandated/issued card that allows you to buy your gun goodies.
    The course (which is not mandatory) is preparatory to the test (which is mandatory).
    There are different types of PAL's, which determine which goodies our government will allow you to purchase/own. Some, are now grandfathered.
    That's my condensed version... others may elaborate.

    PAL stands for Possession and Acquisition License. It is what you need in-order to buy firearms and ammo. RPAL is the same, but it allows you to buy and own handguns, or any restricted firearms, as well as long guns.

    PAL stands for Persecution Against Law-abiding gun owners.

    Thanks for the Information.
    The Anti-Gun Nuts are trying to do something like that here but so far we have been able to stop them.
