Thank you so much! I wrongly assumed these were California regulations. Honestly, Canada regulations seem even more wild in comparison considering the rules surrounding an 18.5" barrel threshold, restriction based simply on a named make or model, and then if the firearm was factory-built or not. Almost as if a lawyer consultation is needed before making a purchase.
Ah I understand, it’s really not hard to keep up with the law here! Once you complete your CFSC (Canadian Firearm Safety Course) you can apply for your PAL/RPAL ((Restrcited) Possesion & Acquisition License) from the RCMP, after a couple months of background checks you’ll receive your license in the mail.
Most firearms owners will opt to buy a safe first and then hit the gun-stores where they’ll have all the knowledge you need in regards to our laws.
Do they enact a new law every time a new gun model comes out?
In fact it’s the opposite! A new law comes out banning a specific selection of firearms and manufacturers just make new ones under different model names.
Quite sure the Adler Arms RF-224 TAC 22Lr was made specifically with the ban in mind.
Still, the whole thing with “list of forbidden guns” sounds, if nothing else, tedious.
Welp, you essentially just expressed how most Canadian PAL/RPAL holders feel.
