Got a call from Canadian Tire today

i ve seen the ledger at CT and i run away but they never asked my card to get into a ledger for ammo, maybe an Ontarian rule?.

I have never bought a gun or ammo at ct when they didn't run my pal in the computer. I've got receipts back from other firearm suppliers that had my name on them after they ran my pal and handed me my reception ....didn't tell them my name, ( and yes I know it's on my pal) but also had my pal number on it.
This is nothing new, they have been doing it for a long time. At any given time the RCMP know how much ammo and how many guns/ rifles have been sold in any given month.
And try in base those number on how much ammo is available at any given time to the gp....and so on...

No smoke...no mirrors, just our good of government looking out for themselves...and you and I know, most of the time it's not in our best interested!!
 
CT in Winnipeg look at your PAL and that's it.
Canadian Tire is a franchisee company with nearly 90% of their stores run by independent bodies. Just becuse a store in Ontario subjects it's customers to policy, don't automatically assume every other store in the country does too, because they don't.
 
Boys, can ya tell me, what the hell is a slamfire? And another question, for the life of me, tell me what a "sks" is?, I'm totally lost here. :)

Agree two CT that I bought ammo at just looked at PAL and I asked about their policy on recording PAL info for rifle purchases...all they do is look at PAL.
 
This is why I refuse to support Cambodian Tire, their stupid registry they keep in the store near me.

Also, much of their store products are garbage, and they make sure it's a hassle to return, even with a receipt.

Well the Mcphillips store only looks at your pal, not sure about the south end store. The CT in Steinbach definitely records your info on a paper ledger and not uncommonly leaves it lying around. Cabalas in Winnipeg definitely records your pal info on their computer database.
 
Got a call from ct today telling me my SKS that I had bought there had the potential of going full auto and that it should be returned to the RCMP's' a for inspection ... Wow .... Here we go!!!

Responsible consumer relations on their part to be proactive, keep people informed, and CYA at the same time. Too bad they flinched and told me to contact the RCMP for confiscation...I mean inspection. Because you know the RCMP won't be keeping records on every gun turned in for inspection.

As for the whole PAL/Ammo thing, in Ontario we have the Ammunition Regulation Act, 1994 S.O. 1994, CHAPTER 20, which requires a person present ID in order to purchase ammo. It also makes it a requirement for the business to record:

1. The date and time of the purchase.
2. The name, age and address of the purchaser.
3. The type of identification and permit produced and their serial numbers.
4. The calibre and quantity of ammunition purchased.
Interestingly, there is no provision for how long the records must be kept, so unless there is some other statutory guidance on keeping records, it seems like they have to be kept for ever.

This has been superseded with federal regulations in the Explosives act. Recording a PAL number can substitute for full contact details. It also requires a two year record keeping limit. Not all stores have updated (some CTs have some haven't, the Walmart near me has), but I tell them this has changed and they need to get new forms.
