A friend has a keepsake passed on to him, a hand gun, that he has had disabled by a gunsmith. Question is, does he still have to renew his PAL for it even though it is now no longer functional??

There are approved gunsmiths and gunsmiths that are no longer approved after some typical bone head move by the RCMP a few yrs back.
So It can be disabled, but unless approved, it will still be a papered gun
Need more info, but if he had a letter From the register, RCMP approving it , than he don't need a licence for that non gun.
