Frequently Asked Questions

For restricted firearm sales, the buyer just needs to give the seller the name as it appears on the RPAL card, the RPAL number, and the expiry date. You don't need to send a photo of your license for a restricted transfer because when the seller gives the buyer a reference number to call the CFP with, it is the agent on the phone from the CFP which will verify that you are the actual holder of that RPAL. So we don't recommend sending photos of your ID for a restricted firearm sale.

I'm betting that you already know at least something about the recent gun bans in Canada that were done on May 1st.

Main reason for this article is to give you some solid action items that YOU can take which can heavily impact the government decision.

If we all take action together, it is very likely that we can have this reversed. If we do nothing to challenge this, they will no doubt continue down this road until they prohibit our bolt action rifles, calling them "sniper rifles".

GunPost is dedicated to keeping the site FREE to use for personal use. So non-business accounts can post up to 12 ads at a time for FREE.

If you need to have more than 12 ads posted at a time, we do consider that to be selling for profit, or a bit of a sideline form of income for a personal user. So in a case where a member needs to have more than 12 ads posted at a time, we do expect that these members will contribute support to GunPost financially, and pay a monthly or annual fee.
