Gun and gear reviews Leduc Canadian Tire: fight the good fight!

Post image

Because Canadian Tire is a dealer-franchise, each independent dealer has some sovereignty in how they run their individual retail location's inventory (i.e. how much of a firearms storefront they choose to run). The Leduc, Alberta location is owned by a mining engineer. And in my experience, mining engineers like firearms, hehe

1988 or 89. I don't recall when they switched from a short quiz to a full on safety course, but back then it was literally a 5 minute true or false test. And I did have to go to the police station to take it. This was for a regular long gun PAL, of course.

Yup same day. The cop i was dealing with typed it out right there using a blank PAL certificate. I'm going to see if I can dig it up.
