Have the regulations changed in Ontario that you now require a PAL to purchase powder? Was informed today that as of January 1, 2015 a PAL was required. Could not find any find any information on these changes online.

Thanks
 
Just bought some Long Shot at Italian Sporting Goods last week. Forgot and tried to give him my PAL, the sales guy reminded me it's not necessary and just asked for my drivers license.
 
I think my grey hair eliminates the age problem. I presented my drivers license. This is more of actually finding the regulations in regards to the purchase of smokeless powder for a better understanding of the regulations as part of my continuing education in the wonderful sport of shooting.

I believe laws might have changed. Budget now requires PAL for powder. I forgot what Henry said was the reasoning.

(a) a piece of identification, issued by the Government of Canada or a provincial, municipal or foreign government, that bears a photograph of the buyer; or

(b) two pieces of identification, each of which sets out the buyer’s name, at least one of which is issued by the Government of Canada or a provincial, municipal or foreign government and at least one of which sets out the buyer’s address.


Marginal note:Verification of identity

(2) If the buyer provides a piece of identification that bears a photograph, the seller must ensure, before selling the propellant powder, that the photograph is that of the buyer.

Marginal note:Record of sale

295. A seller must keep a record of each sale of propellant powder for two years after the date of the sale. The record must include the following information:

No problemo. I knew exactly where to snag it from as the issue of storage came up over the holidays. No need for the goofy wooden box anymore.
