Chessie, was wondering what you'd do about your name after hanging four deer...
Anyways, I did some digging and found this in the Firearms Act.
Under Offences, Section 112.(1) seems to say that I can't possess a non-restricted firearm that I don't have the registration for [I added the bold below], unless subsection (2) applies.
Section 112.(2) says if either (a), (b), or (c) applies, I'm okay possessing a firearm that I don't have the registration for. It doesn't say that I don't need a PAL though. Subsection (a) refers to the direct supervision thing. But I don't see where I don't need a PAL. It just says I'm exempt from subsection (1). Anybody else?
Copied from the
Firearms Act
"112. (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), every person commits an offence who, not having previously committed an offence under this subsection or subsection 91(1) or 92(1) of the Criminal Code, possesses a firearm that is neither a prohibited firearm nor a restricted firearm without being the holder of a
registration certificate for the firearm.
Exceptions
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to
(a) a person who possesses a firearm while the person is under the direct and immediate supervision of a person who may lawfully possess it, for the purpose of using it in a manner in which the supervising person may lawfully use it;
(b) a person who comes into possession of a firearm by operation of law and who, within a reasonable period after acquiring possession of it, lawfully disposes of it or obtains a registration certificate for it; or
(c) a person who possesses a firearm and who is not the holder of a registration certificate for the firearm if the person
(i) has borrowed the firearm,
(ii) is the holder of a licence under which the person may possess it, and
(iii) is in possession of the firearm to hunt or trap in order to sustain himself or herself or his or her family."
