Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) allows us to buy sporting, hunting rifles, shotguns and ammo. These firearms can be carried on crown land at anytime. Obviously you can't walk around town with them.
Restricted Possession and Acquisition License (RPAL) for handguns and 'black' rifles. restricted firearms can ONLY be fired at a shooting range.
And then you have to register EVERY firearm you buy or inherit or acquire. It's a lot of effort, time and money.
