Question about firearms ban

[shawn]

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

No they shouldn't, you have to handle firearms during the class. They are still under a ban = no firearms period.

You court transcript will give you the details you seek.

Whether or not it can be lifted or will stop you from getting a PAL is probably a question for a lawyer.

I keep getting "Shawn" and "Sunray" mixed up.

I keep getting "Shawn" and "Sunray" mixed up.

That's not hard to believe for anyone that has read any of your post, especially on the law LOL

How can you do a course that requires handling of firearms when you are legally prevented from doing so? If you want firearms to be prt of your life, you have to behave. I don't make the rules, but I have kept my arse clean to be able to do so

This thread is starting to sound like the recent "suicide by cop can I get a pal" guy thread. Get a copy of the order and as much of the other court filings together and call Lawyer Referral in BC and I am sure each provincial bar has a similar service. In BC its a min 1/2 hour no charge but no obligation to retain or for the lawyer to offer any services. Good luck

Sorry guys whoops again - it is actually $25 for the consult.

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.

if he has a ban he can NOT touch your rifles/guns period.. he cant even take a pal course until the ban is over or the ban can be life time.. I know this first hand..

You could probably just call the RCMP office and they will tell you if you're still unsure

 

[VanIsleCam]

I would not call the rcmp - I would gather the case against me and meet it.

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 ..

Be careful with that question. If you have a prohibition order that was enforced 10 years ago, and you apply for your PAL the day after it expires, you STILL MUST answer "yes" until 5 years AFTER the expiration of your prohibition order, not 5 years after the day it was first enforced.
