What is Walmart Canada's policy on selling firearms and ammunition?

Asked 2 years ago
Walmart Canada has specific policies regarding the sale of firearms and ammunition that align with Canadian laws and regulations. In Canada, the sale of firearms and ammunition is strictly regulated by the federal government, and this applies to any retailer, including Walmart. Walmart Canada does sell non-restricted firearms and ammunition, which may include hunting rifles and shotguns, provided they comply with the legal definition of non-restricted in the Firearms Act. To purchase firearms or ammunition, customers must hold a valid Possession and Acquisition License, which is issued by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Additionally, Walmart Canada has its own internal policies aimed at promoting responsible gun ownership and ensuring safety. This includes staff training and adhering to legal requirements for selling firearms and ammunition. Walmart Canada may also have specific store policies regarding the display and sale of firearms and ammunition. The sale may be regulated on a store-by-store basis depending on local demand and other factors. It is suggested that individuals interested in the specifics of firearm and ammunition sales at a local Walmart store visit the official website or contact the store directly for more detailed information and any local policies they may have in place. Walmart Canada strives to ensure that all sales meet legal requirements and promote safety in the community.
