John h...In Canada we have to take a test and then submit a series of forms with references to the Governement of Canada . This will give you a F.A.C. otherwise known as a P.A.L. now. This will allow you to buy non restricted guns. After that you have to submit you gun's serial #'s to the government or if you buy from a dealer you have to do a transfer of registration. Then they will send you your papers in the mail, with this you would then leagally own the gun. If you want to buy a restricted gun you do the same thing but you must take another course or write a test for a restricted Possession and Acquisition Licence along with the non-restricted course or test and then go through the gun registration process. But once they get rid of the registration process all you will need is you licences as in PAL ..to buy the guns and thats from my understanding of the situation but there may be some changes , wont know exactly untill the conservatives actually go through with getting rid of the registration process...
