Transferring non-restricted firearms
Contrary to all the doom and gloom we heard about when this new process was announced. When you go on line you are simply verifying the validity of the purchasers PAL. Took about 5 mins and I and the buyer had an email with a reference number authorizing the transfer.
No request for any firearms info or how many you are transferring.
They appear to be trying to ensure you are selling to someone with a valid PAL.
They do suggest that when dealing with someone you won't meet that you do a zoom conference or such so you know that the person purchasing the firearm is the same person on the PAL.
In the past I had a potential buyer provide me with a picture of the PAL but something was off so I looked up the individual on facebook and contacted them only to find there PAL and Drivers License had been stolen. The ZOOM call would have confirmed I was dealing with the actual PAL owner.
