Failure to Renew Firearms License Can Result in Confiscation of Firearms

A large number of people have failed to renew their firearms license. If you have a Possession Only License and fail to renew it, you will now have to get a Possession Acquisition License. You will be required to take or challenge the Canadian Firearms Safety Course before getting your license. If your expired license has not been renewed with in 30 days of the expiry date your license will be revoked. You will receive notice to surrender your firearms to the police or dispose of them. The police also get notice that a person who has firearms registered to them, license has expired and that they are in unlawful possession of those firearms. The police are then expected to enter into a criminal investigation as to the status of the firearms.
