Bob LeBlanc Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 My boss is a certified Firearms verifier...all non-registered firearms that you want to get registered must be verified for authenticity and no modifications. He was contacted by a gentleman last week to verify his guns. Apparently, this elderly gentleman has never recieived his registration info (if it was ever sent, I don't know), and his P.O.L. is about to expire. The firearms registry sent him notice that his P.O.L. would not be renewed as he did not have any registered guns. So, be aware all of you 'hold-outs'...no registered guns = no P.O.L. ...which means you'll have to take the P.A.L. course, and get a registered gun. Just a 'heads up'.

buckee Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! Thanks Bob. That's all I have is the POL (Posession Only Licence), but I did register all my guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! [ QUOTE ] Does anyone on here think the registering system is a good idea? [/ QUOTE ] I definetly don't! I think all of the stuff we have to go through in Canada to be able to own and use firearms to hunt is absolutely rediculous! All it is is a big farce put on us by the Government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguide Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! It's all well and good Fly till a conservation officer checks you out hunting with an unregistered gun-practice kissing your deer rifle good bye. Wasn't a good idea but it's still the law unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Goose Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! Well I got my Manitoba's Hunter Safety in '98, not knowing that 6 years later they would have this "Bill C-68". Now i have to go for my Canadian Firarm Safety course, (even though I have been handling my firearms with competence and great respect for seven years) just so I can get my pal to buy ammo (Pal and CFAC will all together cost me over $100) . Factor in tags and gas, (1.04), it almost sounds like those liberals don't want us hunting. (I know they have little control over tags and gas and that tags contribute greatly to conservation). i just feel like I am getting the REAL short end of the stick here when a guy in alberta kills 4 cops (correct me if I'm wrong) and I am the one who has to pay to register guns. This stupid bill doesn't bring the cops back nor does it discriminate against the dangerous folks. Perhaps the only discrimination this bill poses is to the people who are fincially vunreble or short on time. Just my two cents, sorry bout the long post, it's been rubbing me the wrong way.

Shaun_300 Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! I turned 18 last December, so my "Minor's License" expired... I am now waiting on my PAL... It better be in for deer season on Nov 7th or I will NOT be a happy camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MossySNPR Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! I'm also waiting on mine Shaun, its been atleast a month since I sent it. I think they take a long time to process. Like I'm going to Quebec for 9 days of moose hunting on October 7th, if I don't have it by then, too bad. I'm going anyways.

Shaun_300 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! The MNR Officers don't check the federal stuff here either, all they care about is that you have your hunting license. You just got to be careful that an OPP (or RCMP) officer isn't with them, THEY are the ones who look into the federal stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! Yup, the wardens do not care, and neither do most cops. There was one OPP here who was being a jerk and seized a bunch of guns from hunters who did not have the paper registration card for the gun with them.

sasksheds Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! Same here.The prov. boys want nothing to do with it.My dad is an instructor & he tried to get them to check it.The response was that it was Federal & they wanted nothing to do with it.There are not to many Federal CO's around here.Ya you may have gotten lucky but unless It's RCMP or a Federal CO I dont think they will check.I heard of a incodent in Gravelberg (sp?) last year of a new RCMP officer in the area checking every hunter that stopped @ the local gas station for individual registration cards for each weapon.Now that is stupid.Anyone else remember that?Guns were confiscated if you didnt have the card for that weapon that yo had with you.

SaskMan Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! I guess if they want to take my rifle they can, I didn't register it, I doubt I'll ever be asked though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superguide Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! Don't kid yourselves if you run into a SERM officer with a 'tude you can kiss your gun good bye if it's not registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaskMan Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! My only registered gun is my smokepole, it is the one I carry 90% of the time anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brl Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! lots of people only have 1 or 2 guns registered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Goose Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: No Registered Guns...No P.O.L.!! wardens want nothing to do with it in my neck of the woods either. I think they understand us a little better than the suits in parliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
