You have to have a valid PAL to buy a rifle in Canada. NO exceptions. To transfer a restricted weapon there are even more hurdles. BTW - Do you have your PAL? If so, then you've already had more safety education than many, many gun owners in the U.S.

And when I sell privately, there is no requirement for me to report the sale of a non-restricted firearm to the CFC or CFO. Actually, there isn't even a legal requirement to actually see and verify the validity of a PAL. Where's all the alleged "blood in the streets"?You have to have a valid PAL to buy a rifle in Canada.

It's as much of a "loophole" as an underage kid not getting carded for booze or liquor because they look old enough, as in, still illegal if either party is caught.
No - you said at a Canadian gun show. Have you ever really been to one? If so, then you wouldn't be spouting nonsense about not checking for a valid PAL. Oh, and there IS a legal requirement to check for a valid PAL even if you sell a gun in your garage. You don't know what you're talking about.And when I sell privately, there is no requirement for me to report the sale of a non-restricted firearm to the CFC or CFO.

Yeah, I go to Canadian gun shows all the time and while looking at a PAL is best practice, guess what? Still not absolutely required, for instance, if I run into an active member from my gun club who wants to buy an old deer rifle I'm selling.No - you said at a Canadian gun show.

No you're wrong and you keep digging. It is an ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT to check for a valid PAL with any sale of a rifle in Canada. For restricted weapons, there are even more requirements. If, as you allege, you've seen people sell guns at a Canadian Gun show without checking for a PAL, then you've witnessed an illegal sale. But I don't believe you've ever seen it. I haven't.Yeah, I go to Canadian gun shows all the time and while looking at a PAL is best practice, guess what?

Yes, they can.I assume the plaintiff can also litigate if he / she feels the settlement offered administratively is paltry?
If both parties are licensed to possess and acquire non-restricted firearms in Canada, the sale is valid, period. If one or both isn't, it's illegal, simple. But keep conjuring the boogeyman if that makes you feel any better.No you're wrong and you keep digging. It is an ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT to check for a valid PAL with any sale of a rifle in Canada.

Man are you fucking clueless. How do you know that both parties are licensed to possess? By confirming that the buyer has a valid PAL. Period. Keep digging though and maybe somebody else will humour your ignorance.If both parties are licensed to possess and acquire firearms in Canada, the sale is valid, period.

God forbid we respect due process and investigators have to do some...gasp...actual investigation.Man are you fucking clueless. How do you know that both parties are licensed to possess?

I agree and that makes it worse. If it was only at gun shows it would be much easier to control. Have a FFL registry at the event and all backgrounds could easily be checked if needed. Sadly no gun show is needed. In many states you can walk down the street, see a gun you like and offer cash on the spot. At least many online gun sellers now require you to ship the gun to a licensed dealer who will verify everything neededLabeling it "Gun Show Loophole" is incorrect. You do not have to attend a gun show to make a private purchase. The uninformed here think that if you make a purchase at a gun show, you are somehow legally circumventing a process.
Internet. There are some sites out there that work essentially like craigslist.With a private sale, you would need to advertise it, arrange a place to meet, etc. If you're a buyer, you might have to go to several different addresses before you find what you want. ...
And a private seller has no way to check if someone is a felon. Makes it far to easy for felons to get guns.A selling to a felon, private or not; is illegal, period.
Some stats show a very strong correlation between mass shooters and spousal abusers. Makes sense for Canada to do so.So I checked out the RCMP application form to purchase a firearm in Canada.
If you are currently married (or in a common law relationship), your conjugal partner has to sign his or her approval....
In some states that have laws that prevent anyone guilty of domestic violence from owning guns but even they have a loophole that applies if the victim was a spouse or common law but not for girlfriend/boyfriend.
They acted pretty quick when the Black Panthers were using open carry laws.Sandy Hook showed that the US was never going to do anything about gun control. If murdered kids won’t bring about change then nothing will

Good!! Apple doesnt owe the FBI anything
Save of course being part of a civil society!Good!! Apple doesnt owe the FBI anything
Although I've read that Apple has in fact offered to help.
If Apple gave the FBI the keys to their locks, the US government would abuse that like there's no tomorrow.Save of course being part of a civil society!
You know its true.
Its actually nice to hear someone is standing up to America, and its even nicer to hear that its pissing off the American government!!!
Goes to show that gun control is a discriminatory practice.They acted pretty quick when the Black Panthers were using open carry laws.

Actually shows the 2nd amendment is subject to racism. The only gun control arguments in the US for the past few decades have been to stop blacks owning back then and to stop Muslims now. Seems the NRA is willing to make exceptions.Goes to show that gun control is a discriminatory practice.
