(b) This subsection shall not prevent a person parting with the
possession of a firearm or ammunition, otherwise than in pursuance of a

he is by virtue of this Act entitled to have possession of the firearm or
ammunition without holding such a licence.

(d) alter or remove the serial number or any other identifying mark
of a firearm.
(3) No person shall sell or transfer any firearm or ammunition to, or

he knows, or has reasonable ground for believing, to be under the influence
of intoxicating liquor or a dangerous drug or is of unsound mind.
(4) (a) Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c), every person, other than a
registered dealer in firearms or gunsmith, who intends to part with the
possession of any firearm or ammunition by way of sale, letting on hire,
pledge, gift, or loan for use, to any other person, shall, 15 days prior to such
parting with possession, give to the Commissioner a notice of such parting
with possession, stating his name and address and the name and address of
that other person, the type and calibre of the firearm, the maker’s name, the
identification number or other distinguishing mark and the quantity of
ammunition.
(b) The period of 15 days may be reduced to such shorter period as
the Commissioner may approve according to the circumstances.
