Either way confirming a license is valid via a phone call is stupid. So many fake IDs out there. If they have a issue then they should reissue all firearm owners with a new license that is different then the old one.

I just came from the RCMP to check all this out. You, as a seller have to verify by phone or online, the buyers PAL. The problem is as stated above. I was told by the RCMP there are a lot of fake licenses being used and this is a sure way to check the validity of the PAL in question. Online is simple and painless. Three things are needed: Buyer license number, Buyer date of birth, and Buyer email address. Almost instantly a verification number is displayed that can be printed and is valid for 90 days. Nothing else is required.
The new licenses being issued are supposed to have some kind of built in security and as the old licenses expire they will be replaced with the new style of license
