It would be idiotic to not return it for all the reasons Ian Runkle specified and if the gov't decided to track down the missing boxes Cabelas has records on who bought them and if the govt/police did decide to be real nasty, I bet it would be tempting to some, they can pull Cabelas license to sell ammo. Not returning them and knowing there was a recall and they are AP incendiary is just plain asking for trouble at best and off the scale idiotic.

Charges for illegal ammo, Cabelas loosing their ammo license.... imagine the fun the CBC could have with it,"Gun owners arrested with hundreds of rounds of military grade armour piercing incendiary ammo" ... a good excuse to have a new OIC with the SKS on it or a ban like idiotic 25 and 32 cal handgun laws.

Your key comment was "Not returning them and knowing there was a recall"

Would they not have to prove you were (i) aware of the ammo recall, and (ii) that you still have the ammo in question? Say I was unaware of it and took it up north and burned through 1/2 the crate at a gravel pit? I'd say they were barking up the wrong tree going after someone that legally purchased ammo in a commercial store & then used it. Would the blame not lie squarely on the back of the retailer and his supply chain?

While you are sitting in jail and waiting your court date, how will you prove you didn't know.... you would be in possession of illegal ammunition and the responsibility would be on the owner. Laws change too, look at the ATT, and the OIC and the fact there are over 325 "variants" that have been classified as banned too that weren't even on that original list. Many bought lead shot for hunting ducks, I still have 2 boxes of my Dad's, if I took them hunting what would happen. Owning the ammo, owning the firearm, owning the car... the owner is responsible and for what the lawyer would cost a new IWI X95 and 2 or three cases of ammo would be a savings if caught alone and any penalties added on top that!

Now you are starting to sound like Fox! LOL

The longer they wait the more likelihood that this ammo will be shot because that it why people purchased it to begin with. What has been done to advise the customers of the recall - I'd have to say squat. Nothing posted in the stores, none of the customers have been notified by the store that there was a recall of the ammo.

I very much doubt one would be jailed for legally purchasing and using ammo - completely unaware of the recall. But if I was jailed I really like my chances of a $$ when I lawyer up because there was no reasonable means to notify me of the recall.

It is on their product notices page with a few other items and since they have records of who bought the cases I doubt anyone but the purchaser would get the notice. They might not if you got the legal or the illegal ammo but they would know you bought the ammo for sure and at some point someone recognized it for what it was.
One person with the illegal ammo causing an issue or even just someone caught with it (and the police recognizing it from a bulletin or something) could trigger some eager beaver and a friendly judge to go on a records search at Cabelas and that's a "lotto win" (referring to the odds) it would be so easy to avoid and depending on their belligerence as one of the larger ammo sellers in Canada might make their license a target too. Like I said, a person knowing it wasn't legal won't stop charges, lawyers etc. and maybe some media attention if they want to spin it that much, especially as an excuse with the OIC or should I say adding the SKS to a new OIC.

So, going by the law sounds like me, crazy.

What you are saying is exactly the same as claiming that you did not know that the M14 was banned or the AR-15 and using them at the range or for hunting.

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
