Firearms and Ammunition can only be sold to customers with a valid P.A.L or P.O.L. We can sell non-restricted and restricted firearms to residents of Canada with the valid license class for the particular firearm that they wish to purchase. The information about your P.A.L. or P.O.L. will need to be filled in on the check out page when you complete your purchase.
Westside Stores will contact the Canadian Firearms Office (CFO) and verify all licenses to be sure that they are valid and that the information given is accurate. This validation is to ensure that we protect our customers from fraud and we do our due diligence in accordance with the law.
*NOTE* Every P.A.L. and P.O.L. has an expiration date printed on the front of the card. Please check your license on a regular basis because they will expire and become invalid. If your license has expired please visit this web link http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/form-formulaire/index-eng.htm or call 1-800-731-4000.
