To own a non-restricted AR type firearm in Canada, you need a PAL, no ATT, can use magazines with more than 5 rounds and can walk out of the store with it after paying. No information is required to be recorded at time of sale.

The only difference is the requirement for a PAL versus a NICS check.

If you want a restricted, there is a slight wait time before you can take it home (can get it done in an hour or so), the ATT is now automatically issued as part of a license and the same magazine rules apply.

An hour? I'd definitely be flaccid by the time I left the store.
