Common questions

Is the Unknown Irish Constabulary restricted in Canada?

The RCMP Firearms Reference Table records the Unknown Irish Constabulary (revolver, chambered in .380 Revolver Short Centerfire, made in Unknown) as Restricted in Canada, under FRN 120988. Classification attaches to the specific firearm rather than the model name, so variants with a different barrel length, overall length or action can carry a different class. Confirm the record matches the firearm in front of you, and verify with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program before any transfer.

What licence do I need to buy a Unknown Irish Constabulary?

A restricted PAL, and the firearm must be registered to you before you take possession. Transport generally requires an authorization to transport, and if this is a handgun the October 2022 transfer freeze applies to most transfers between individuals.

What is FRN 120988?

FRN 120988 is the Firearm Reference Number the RCMP assigns to this Unknown Irish Constabulary record in the Firearms Reference Table.
