In its second use of the newly implemented Firearms Act, the Alberta government said it will require any individuals or organizations involved in confiscating firearms to be licensed by the province first.

According to Alberta Justice Minister Tyler Shandro, this move is intended to protect the province’s jurisdiction as well as the almost 342,000 Albertans with a license to legally possess a firearm.
