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.

What version of PAL / Wife are you on? ��
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.

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.

Wasn't it trudeau sr who said "there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation."
Unless you're a gun owner of course.
Then you're obliged to tell the government who you are porking.

If you edit your original post there will be no more reason to correct you and no chance of newbies being misinformed/confused.
In a perfect world, every woman would have a chance to be married to me, at least once.
Editing my original post would be a weak move, and would do nothing to all the posts that have quote it.
Instead, people should read the thread before posting in it.
This is incorrect. I had a divorce finalized in August and submitted my RPAL in mid-March, received my license in early May. I did however write a formal letter outlining my circumstances along with court documentation of the separation date etc., so possibly that helped. The CFO will notify her but if you have no violent history record, it will be tough for her to plead otherwise with the CFO.
Yes. Again, we've covered that.

Must be allergic to money.
That strategy is sure to keep you broke.
On my 2nd and final wife.
Can't afford another go around.
Back on track
I asked the CFO for Ontario this very question at their booth at the Toronto Sportsmans show this year, and the LADY at the booth told me that its not required. They will contact her, but haveing an ex wife (or current wife) who doesnt like firearms and won't sign the form is not a sufficient reason to deny a person a PAL or RPAL.
The divorce thing, lost your job thing is about you being suicidal. And about you shooting your ex. But as long as your other references check out that you are not depressed etc or a public safety concern then you will get your RPAL for sure
