Don't let your gun licence expire

[rob love]

I thought I would post a little warning to those who have firearms liscences and figure that they can just let tham lapse and join the thousands who didn't bother to register either themselves or their rifles in the first place. This topic is especially relevant since the million POLs that they sold for $10 in the malls five years back are now set to expire. If you let your liscence expire, you will lose any grandfathering rights you currently have. Second, everytime the police pull you over, and run you on the CPIC computer, they also access your file in the CFC database. If your liscence has expired they will know it, and the OPP has been instructed to act on it.
Also, apparently the CFC is claiming that the registration certificates are revoked if the owner is no longer liscenced, and the local PDs will come to take away your property.

So while the conservatives are likely removing the longarms registry, the requirement for liscencing still exists. And, especially if you hold grandfathered firearms, don't let your liscence lapse.
