Just wondering if you need some special permit to sell live traps or just traps in general.

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

Most ethical trap supply stores will only sell to those who provide their licence number. My pet peeve with Cabelas. 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).
Also you have to consider who is lawfully entitles to use the trap, as is in case 27.1.aQuote:

“farmer” means a person whose chief occupation is farming and,
(a) who is living upon and tilling his or her own land, or land to the possession of which he or she is for the time being entitled, or
(b) who is a settler engaged in clearing land for the purpose of bringing it to a state of cultivation; (“exploitant agricole”)
