When i was a teen i was charged with some firearm offences and recieved a "Ban on any type of firearms, crossbows or explosives" and i cant remember how long the ban was for. I was a piece of #### as a kid and have got my #### together and became an actual productive member of society and have a family of my own now and i want to hunt with friends but i dont even know where to begin looking to find out about my ban and if its still active can i have it lifted? thanks in advance folks. Nate.

You or your parents should have been given something in writing that lays all of it out. Mom would be the first place to look. Followed by a criminal record search. Where you are matters as the cost differs.
Matters how young you were too. Juvenile(under 18) records are sealed, as I recall.

I have a friend in a similar situation. When he wants to shoot I just take him out. Not ideal but he gets to make bangs

I'm not 'providing' guns. I think of it the same as if you take anyone else shooting - they don't have a PAL but yet are allowed to use your guns under direct supervision.

Hmm you guys have given me something to think about. I'm discussing another matter with a DNR officer, I will see what he has to say about this situation. I don't want to put my PAL on the line for anyone!
DNR might not be the best source of information about the implications of supplying a firearm to someone under a prohibition order.
Might be an idea for your friend to have a good look at the order, and contact the issuing court or his lawyer if there is any doubt.

He said his ban is over towards the end of the year and he's planning to take the CFSC during the summer to prepare for when he can apply. I told him he may have some issues and have to explain to the CFO his intentions of gaining a PAL. He's stayed on the straight and narrow for a decade, so that should be taken into consideration, right?

I was prohibited from owner or using firearms also.in fact it just ran out the week before I took the coarse. the bans are usually 10 years and on the application it asks if you have been prohibited in last 5 years .. so you are good to go.. I even called the CFO to explain my situation and they said just check the box NO that asks if you have been prohibited in last 5 years .. your being truthful and they are asking vague questions so its a win win ..

yup cant even take the coarse until ban is over.. I called before taking mine and they said they check dates if you have taken coarse before ban is over your in breech and you can receive a life time ban for that.. no thanks I waited the couple weeks and took mine once the ban was lifted.. 10 years is a long time to wait but now its over and the end is near.. in processing now and sent to BC CFO should be soon

Ouch, that's rough. Should be able to do the class at least. He's going to be disappointed next time he asks when I'm going to the range lol
