APRIL 6TH ,2012 - The long gun registry is finally over. The legislation has received Royal Assent.

Long-gun owners will no longer be required to register their firearms and the process of destroying the data in the registry related to non-restricted firearms will begin as soon as feasible. Controls over restricted and prohibited firearms will continue to be maintained.

Under this legislation, firearms owners must still hold a valid firearms licence in order to acquire and possess a firearm. They must also pass the required Canadian Firearms Safety Course and undergo the necessary screening process. In addition, individuals will continue to be required to obtain a registration certificate for prohibited and restricted firearms, such as handguns.

Note: Any (Non- Restricted ) firearms going to Quebec Must still be registered until further notice.
 
Will we still have to show a licence to buy lomg gun ammunition? I suppose so?

More changes are needed. This is one.

Not so much showing the licence,

as leaving the info book lying around, for all to see.

Like some places are known to do.

Does the dealer have to maintain a record of his non restricted sales ?

It would seem from other threads, it is a condition of them having a licence to sell firearms.

BUT:

The Liberals tried to include the provision to continue using the "green book" for sales on non restricteds through an amendment in the senate.

That amendment was defeated.

So, the question the becomes, since C-19 does not specifically say that retailers NEED to continue to use the "green book" do they still have too.

Interesting times indeed.

That's what I saw too so are we to assume the bill C-19 erased that requirement ?
