Nothing to hide if they decide to come door knocking

@7mmsaum, perhaps a sticky is warranted?

I'm a little at a loss on how that works. When you buy a firearm here at GC we do the dealer transaction bit on the FSA which will tie the purchase to your licence # then activate you for the registration. If you buy ammo though we don't do anything on the FSA side and only internally. How does the FSA know you bought ammo from whatever store? There's no way to do ammo on the Dealer transaction page on the FSA.

Not forgetting the issue here folks...yes you can go to local gunshop and buy ammo. That is not an activating event.
My question was...that if buying online then you need a Police Mail Order Form signed by local Copper.
You have now 'interacted with Police', and seems that would trigger an 'event'.
But the Gunworks link (above) doesn't mention that it is an 'event'.

Looks like the answer is "maybe"

So basing it on that theory if you are a referee for someone Elses firearm license you have interacted with Police so that is an activating event for you!. NO being a referee or getting a mail order is not an activating event. With a mail order it is the item you wish to receive. The purchase of ammunition is not an activating event either over the counter or by mail order till June 2025.
We need to be buying from these stores or they won`t be around when we want them.

From the Gunworks page, near the bottom (I think asterix #4 or 5 from the bottom):

*If you are subject to any arms-related compliance or enforcement action by Police you must register all arms items in your possession within 30 days.

My understanding of it is that from people who have got the forms - the mail order form is the compliance action, and that people who have done this are required to register within 30 days from the receipt of the form...
