The mother was apparently the owner of the known firearms at the residence. Her PAL was reported to have allegedly been expired. The question now is why were the firearms not seized for unlawful possession? That's simple. Peoples PALs, drivers licenses, health cards, gym memberships expire all the time and they don't realize it until the need arises for that document. The RCMP's Continuous Eligibility Screening would not have flagged it as expired without a triggering law enforcement interaction being entered in a contributing police information system.

Every five years the RCMP sends me a letter basically telling me "Keep your PAL up to date and we won't seize your gun".

So, if the legally acquired firearms may not have been involved at all, they were just at the residence? A bit of speculation on my part, but that does appear to be what this is saying.

It's called anarcho-tyranny or "law without order" and Canada is trending toward it, very quickly.

The NS Gov does the same thing for my DL. And my various vehicle registrations.

IMHO not knowing your ID expired is a copout. People need to be an adult and manage their lives. Failure to do that should limit thier privileges until things can be corrected.

PALs shouldn’t expire. Maybe acquiring new firearms should be restricted, but simply owning your property shouldn’t become illegal just because a licence expired.

The government doesn’t come take your car because your drivers licence expired, you just can’t drive it on public roads.
