Pal need for under 500fps??

[deerhunter365]

Hi, I went to order a Sig 400fps pellet gun from Firearms outlet Canada and it says “ Please note: Valid PAL required for purchase of airguns“ I have already looked at this model at cabelas and it did not seem like I need to produce my pal to purchase it.
I just wanted to see if a law or rule had changed? I don’t usually keep up with airgun stuff.
Thanks
Chris

Does it look "scary"...that's all it needs for a PAL nowadays.....soon an RPAL.

No PAL required. Just 18 years of old, for any airgun SUB 500.

Answered.

Ok THanks! Just making sure. It was the sig p320 m17 model. But I think I’m just going to order at a different company for a smoother transaction lol

It’s sub 495 , I know it’s not a big difference but u can’t get a 500 with no pal

Order from Canada Shooting Supply or Airgun source. You'll get better customer service.

Thanks for the advice! I’m always looking for good retailers for shipping because of my location I can’t always make it to a actual store.

Cabelas requires PAL to buy primers and powder.
They actually make you fill out a sheet and sign.

Our government doesn’t require this.

I don’t shop at cabelas because of this.

Uh huh.. It's 500 FPS in the criminal code, not 495. Meaning velocities Under 500 FPS, do not need a license. Actually it must shoot over 500 FPS and 4.2 FPE in order to be classified as a firearm and need a license.

 

[deerhunter365]

Wow, definitely interesting hearing all the different hoops some places make you jump through! Lol

And if it's over 500 fps and a pistol it would be restricted.

This really sucks. Had several 10m air pistols in mind - but they can run as high as 508 fps. YES I'M TOLD - YOU NEED A PAL.

you must have missed the AND part - and if it was above the FPS/energy than a PAL would not be sufficient...

Cabela's does not require a PAL to buy Primers and Powder. Cabela's does require that you be over 18 years old, and that sheet is required by the Explosive regulations. However, you're given the pen, lord knows how many tonnes of powders and primers Justin Trudeau or Mike in Canmnore buy each year...

Which 10 meter air pistols did you have in mind? Those sold in Canada would be sub-500fps, and so PAL-less.

Sometimes checkout pages have it as a required field, just put in 1234567.0001...that usually works.

The sheet to sign for powder is a thing - either NRCan or Provincial - I can't remember, the PAL isn't.
