BC CFO now requires form completion for application to specify Target or Collector status (you can still target shoot with the Collector status) before determining if the RPAL/PAL is renewed. Interestingly, it would seem that the actual expiry date is of little concern.
Just called, the lady on the phone gave me my PAL number and said my card should be sent out today or tomorrow. At least I can give my number to the club I want to join..... And get in on some online deals hehe...
my pal application timeline
october 22th 2018 : application sent
october 25th 2018 : application received by rcmp
november 22th 2018 : application show up online
november 29th 2018 : call rcmp, told no informations are missing, and to call back "in a few weeks" if i dont receive my pal.
december 11th 2018 : call rcmp, told my application is in final process, with quebec cfo, shouldnt take too long at this point and to call back in two or three weeks if i dont have my pal.
december 17th 2018 : Your application has been processed and your application has been issued.
MAN THAT FEELING.
Is it safe to call RCMP to get PAL number and order a gun online before receiving the card?
After all I'm legal, I just dont have the paper in hand yet?
