I have never held a firearms licence but I possess non-restricted firearms. Would the amnesty protect me if I apply now?
A. Although the amnesty order does not protect you, the intent is not to penalize people who are trying to comply with the law. However, you do risk criminal charges and penalties if police find you in possession of a firearm without a valid licence or registration certificate. Therefore, we urge you to comply as quickly as possible. We will do everything we can to help you comply.
