Should I cut out and laminate my registration certificates?

[Dogbert]

I've noticed there are dotted lines around the certificates and the sheets are designed to hold up to four certificates. So should I carefully cut along the dotted lines and then have the little squares of paper laminated so I can keep them in my wallet?

 

[Onagoth]

yes, its what I do

 

[t-star]

scan and copy first, then laminate if you want to- all my originals are on my home computer and the mailed originals are in the safe- i keep a copy with the gun in the case

I copy them and put the whole copied page into a small bag that I keep in my gun room. When I go shooting the little bag comes with me.

I copied mine as well and laminated it. You can purchase the laminate from the dollar store in Coquitlam centre.

Laminate the copies, keep the originals safely stored.

I cut, copied and placed the originals in a safe place and put the copies in with my Hunting permit (which I take with me when ever I Go out with any GUN)

Along the same lines, with my PAL, is making a copy and carrying that around, while keeping the card safe at home, acceptable? Or do stores needs to see an original PAL?

 

[Nonus]

I got a copy, cut the copy out and then place one behind the other then used scotch tape to tape them together. That way one card = two guns, which is how many I have

 

[TGC]

yes i have done it, incuding that piece of paper that says standard conditions

 

[Paulinski]

I photocopy mine and laminate the copies.

Are you reqiured to carry the certificates with you at all times? or can you leave then at home while hunting?

 

[Dave_Shotgun]

I believe you need either the original certificates or a photocopy of them while out hunting or general shooting.

I scan mine and keep a copy on the USB key that I always carry. I've got a old laptop that I carry around in the truck that would work just fine for displaying the certs. I also keep a copy of my LTATT on the USB key.

Protect the originals.

...even MacTac (From Walmart) works to protect the copies. I have never seen the word "original" in any requirement to have the certs available.

 

[Levi Garrett]

I just rip the cert off the paper by hand, messsy , and toss in a pocket of my range bag.

Laminate the copies, keep the originals safely stored.

X2 on that, that seems to be the easiest for me...

Here's the link to another thread of the same topic; reducing the copy by 95% is a great idea.
