You have to sit the safety course to be able to apply for your PAL (Possession and Acquisition Licence). I sat the unrestricted test (and passed) in 2008 - I just have to send off the application at some point.Mike357 wrote:Now here is a sensible approach adopted by Canada.

Q. Do I need authorization to transport my firearms from one location to another?
Any time you personally transport a restricted or prohibited firearm within Canada, you need an Authorization to Transport (ATT) from the Chief Firearms Officer of the province where the firearm is located or where it will be entering Canada. You do not need an ATT for firearms that are being shipped by licensed carrier or for non-restricted firearms that you are transporting yourself.
There's plenty of non-restricted firearms that are fun - https://ellwoodepps.com/hunting/firearm ... ction=1589Sim G wrote:But Grant, that's for anything even remotely interesting!!! :lol:
Oh, and you can't be out more than an hour after dark with a handgun. And, should you want to travel to another province, for say an IPSC match, you need a separate transport licence from that province!
But you can gave some lovely 14" Benelli M4's.....
You are not seeing any wholesale change because such change needs primary legislation and there is not enough political will for change at the level where Parliamentary time gets allocated. That doesn't mean there is no point in reminding people of the need. BASC have spent a huge amount of time recently, through and with BSSC, trying to keep the rewritten Home Office Guidance on track, and in the redesign of the application forms (which I think will make things simpler). I have seen most of the drafts of the Guidance over the past year, and have commented for more senior staff to take to BSSC to put back to the Home Office. But yes, most of what I do is to help at the individual level within the current law.Sim G wrote:
I note Iain's comments above and wonder, if the BASC and the NRA are working with all of these staff concentrating on legislation, why are we not seeing any wholesale change. Are they concentrating on purely maintaining a status quo and challenging individual cases for individual members within the current legislative framework?
