NOPE!! They're not like firearms. You can sell them to anyone with the cash.Quote:

They'll sell traps to anyone, then the idiots make a set in a residential area and kill someone's pet. The trapping industry and trappers get the black eye on the deal.Quote:

X2 with Cabelas.Quote:

Can you show me which laws state that one needs a trapping license to be in possession of these traps or to sell them to only a licensed trapper? I thought anyone can own traps and only needs a license to use them. Isn't this a self-policing regulation among trappers? It shows you what I know about trapping,virtually nothing.Quote:

Above is the section from the FWCA regs relating to possession of trapsQuote:
27. (1) A person shall not possess a body-gripping trap unless the person,
(a) is lawfully entitled to use the trap;
(b) was lawfully entitled to use the trap within the five years preceding the date on which the person was found to be in possession of the body-gripping trap;
(c) engages in activities related to the manufacture, repair, sale, transportation or storage of the traps or the conduct of research with respect to those traps;
(d) is a collector of traps and the trap is rendered incapable of being used for trapping; or
(e) possesses the traps for educational purposes in the course of employment by an educational institution or government. O. Reg. 667/98, s. 27 (1).
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to traps in a museum or public display if most of the funding for the museum or display comes from a government in Canada. O. Reg. 667/98, s. 27 (2).
