I understand the policy of recording the information when people buy ammo from CT. But why is it recorded and left in a folder where the ammo is stored? Any gang banger can get a job at CT and have a great shopping list of who owns guns and where they live. Or for that matter just break into the cabinet and steal the book. Why can't they do what gunshops do, and just keep the address info secure in a computer so the staff just has to verify by ID that the person has purchased ammo in the past?

The simplistic reply you'll likely get will involve Canadian Tire viewing you as a potential thief or fraud artist. Wait for it.

First off computers really are not secure at all, and what province you in out of curiosity? I know that recording ammunition purchases is not required in BC. And your right that information should not be left with the ammuntion it should be kept in a safe or lockup area.

Jeeze your a douce bag... You havn't even waited for a response before putting down a CT employee. You say CT employee's jump the gun and assume every one is a theif yet your jumping the gun generalizing employees.

And where is your answer then, asshole? No one will take you seriously anyway until you lose the kindergarten-level spelling prowess.

In Ont they record addresses when you buy ammo. I know computers aren't all that secure, but the idea of a duotang with a list of addresses of gun owners scares me. I only buy ammo at CT if I'm far out of town and I get caught short.

Re: CT ammo purchase

I agree about not wanting my address listed. Your PAL / FAC doesn't have your address listed on it, likely for a reason! If CT wants to see your PAL and drivers license to confirm address, that's fine. BUT offer to list only your PAL issued number!!
In the actual case of police investigation and needing a listing of who bought what, they will be able to reference addresses at that point. Makes perfect sense to me. Sounds like this day and age of privacy protection CT needs to update their policy to protect their customers.

i work there and have for 3 years, since i was 14, and they just this year when i turned 18 they told me that i was illeagly selling ammo because apparently you have to be 18 to sell although they knew this years ago they didnt tell me because if they had i could have refused to sell it and then they would have to hire a new person. THEY JUST DONT GIVE A SHIT MAN
inform a worker there they will say oh ok ill get right on that, i do it all the time thats what they tell you to do but does anything happen NO
even when i tell a manager or even the owner he says oh ill look into it.. nothing happens
we keep ours right out in the open on a clip board above the computer where anyone can see and look at it as they please.

As far as the ammo queston goes, at our store, the information is kept in a book that is stored under the customer service desk away from anyone's attention. In that book, the only information retained is that which is required by Ontario Law. There is request for a drivers' licence or any other identification, save the PAL. You must be eighteen, (18) years of age to handle and/or sell ammuntion. If the cashier on duty is less than the required legal age, another cashier meeting the legal requirements takes over. The keys to the ammo lockup are retained by a manager or department staff that are of legal age. I only speak for our store of course.
