Dave, >Assuming Bill C-68 continues as planned, what will the necessary >requirements be to purchase ammunition after January 1, 2001?
FA s. 25(a) allows purchase, today, IF the buyer “holds a licence authorizing him or her to possess firearm or a PRESCRIBED DOCUMENT [prescribed by regulation — emphasis added].” Regulation 1 of the “Non-Prohibited Ammunition Transfer Document Regulations” defines a Pprescribed document,” IF the holder is over 18, as one that is: (a) valid, (b) has on it the date of birth or age of the holder, AND was (i) issued by a federal, provincial or municipal government, (ii) an agency, board or commission of such a government, (iii) a foreign government, OR (iv) a post-secondary education institution accredted by a province. IF the buyer is under 18, he or she can ONLY use a minor’s permit issued under CC s. 110(6) or (7) of the previous Act. A C-68 style licence can also be used to buy ammunition. AFTER 01 Jan 2001, ONLY a licence can be used. The above documents stop working then. David A Tomlinson National President, National Firearms Association Ph: (780)439-1394 Fax: (780)439-4091 natpres
