Hello Again, Coming to Alberta next week from the UK and am hoping to purchase some V-Max bullet heads from Bashaw sports as they are very expensive here in the UK. Do I need to declare them to customs when boarding my return flight? Steve. | ||

I see no reason that you would have to declare them leaving Canada unless they are in your carry-on baggage. They are legal (obviously) to buy here and if they are legal to import into the UK there should be no trouble. I'll be having a beer tommorow with a fellow from the UK but is also a resident here so I will ask him. Of course with the airports the way they are now anything is possible. | |||

To be strictly legal, you require a Possession Only Licence(POL) or a Possession and Acquisition Licence(PAL) to purchas ammo anywhere in Canada. | |||

You have to show your POL or PAQ to buy a box of 22 shells but you can buy every box of bullets in the store if you want and do not have to show anything. | |||

Quote: LoL The whole bloody piece of legislation is so screwed up that that a lot of people are confused. A person with a criminal record a mile long can buy all the powder, cases, bullets and primers they want yet, as mentioned, to buy a box of .22 CB caps you need a silly license. You gotta love the liberals ................. | |||

To make it even worse, often it merely depends on where you buy your compoents. I buy my components at several different stores in Ontario. Sometimes I have to show my FAC, sometimes I don't. Sometimes it just depends on who's working the counter. Go figure! Best wishes. Cal - Montreal | |||

You do not have to show squat to but powder | |||

to correct the spelling mistake. You do not have to show anything to buy powder. If you are asked to it is only because the person at the counter really does not know the law. | |||

Hi Guys, Thanks for the information it seems that I will be okay to purchase the V-Max's. I will however declare them on this side of the pond as strictly bullets that are designed to expand require a firearms certificate to purchase but you can buy a million match bullets and they do not need an FAC - and you guys think your laws are screwed up! Looking on the bright side we are allowed to purchase sound moderators for both rimfire and centerfire rifles without too much trouble. Thanks again guys. Steve. | |||

Quote: Well yes and no. You don't need to show a PAL or POL but the exlosives act in Canada does require the seller of gunpowder to record the name and address of the person buying gunpowder. Showing your drivers license for example is enough proof of residence to buy the powder. Some stores though have taken it upon themself to require someone show a POL or Pal as part ot THIER policies NOT the federal regulations. Also when buying ammunition some stores are recording the purchaser's information into record when the firearms act only requires them to ensure the buyer has a POL or PAL. BTW I refuse to deal with vendors that don't understand the regulations. | |||
