When I bought my licenses the guy told me to have 3 things with me:
1. Drivers license
2. PAL/POL
3. Hunting license

He was told to tell all customers this by fish & w.l. & the RCMP. The new drivers license' s have the magnetic strip just as the PAL/POL' s do. The info is " supposed" to be in a database to speed up the checking process. Now I haven' t been stopped this year yet to test the theory, but there' s no way I' m carrying around all those licenses as well as my paperwork for the guns. I know Alberta isn' t enforcing the gun laws like some of the other provinces and maybe that' s why I was told what I was. If I do get checked I' ll let you know what happens...hopefully not from the slammer[] JDinAB
