Canadian firearms owners are now required to present their Possession Acquisition Licence (PAL) when buying a cartridge magazine for their firearms. The regulatory changes were sent out in a letter to firearms businesses in early March, according to the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA).
The new requirements are as follows:
Subsection 25(1) states that “An individual may transfer cartridge magazine that is not deemed prohibited only if the transferee possesses a valid firearms licence.”
Subsection 64 (1.2) states that “Following the expiration of a firearms licence, a licence holder may not acquire cartridge magazines during the extension period (six months) and may only acquire cartridge magazines once the licence is renewed.”
