Because several women have been killed by ex-husband with guns so it does become a safety issue. Good or bad owning a gun requires your safe enough to have a gun before you get it.
I've got three daughters if there Ex suddenly wants a gun. No I don't want him having one particularly if he is abusive or has threatened to kill her. This creates the problem that she says no not because of legitimate concern but to be a problem or she has a legitimate concern we can't know for sure. After all I don't know too many guys who threaten their wives in front of witnesses Now we have a decision to make should he have the gun or not. Well if we don't issue the permit he gets a little pissed off or uses a knife or a bat a little less effective and easier to defend against and the Anti-gun groups don't have more data . If we do she could end up shot and all the anti-gun groups have more ammo to their cause and she's dead. Personally I agree with it. Same as if my wife felt that I was becoming unsafe with guns I'd want her to get the guns removed from the house for the kids safety.
if anyone could walk in off the street and buy a gun with no questions asked, the numbers of guns around would be much higher, and the commensurate risk to the rest of us would then be higher.
Hmmmmmmmmm, I went through an long interview, about an hour, with a nice lady from the CFC who asked me at least a dozen questions covering my family, my work, my psychological state, etc. All three of my references received phone call from the CFC asking the same questions. I'm 63 - looks like an age discrimination thing, lol.
Question about the RCMP interview.
After sending off my application I was laid off due to lack of work should I be concerned?
Could that prevent me from getting my pal/rpal?
Everyone who is getting mad and angry about all this red tape, should watch out. An earlier poster stated people who get angry easily should not get RPAL's. Maybe we should all smoke pot and mellow out. lol

Maybe we shouldn't associate ourselves with the likes of pot smokers. We're frowned on enough as it is. I certainly do not want to be anywhere near users/scum.
As much as I agree with most of your post, my mind can't get over how wrong you are on how gun ownership being a right.
1. If it was then, how come the government forces us to apply and denies various applications for a PAL? There's a mandatory exam for a reason.
2. Our rights are outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and freedoms and last I checked, gun ownership is not listed in there.
3. If was a right then every damn person walking the streets would have a gun.
Gun ownership is a privilege not a right, a privilege can be taken away, a right cannot (legally at least).
We're Canadians, not Americans.
