Purchasing body armour in Alberta requires a valid Alberta Body Armour Permit or recognized exemption under the Alberta Body Armour Control Act. If you are shipping within Alberta, a valid Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) will also serve as an exemption. However, please note that the PAL is NOT recognized as an exemption in all provinces. Confirm the body armour control policies specific to your province or territory prior to purchase.

Outside of Alberta, a PAL is not always considered an exemption. Make sure to review the legislation in your province or territory to ensure compliance.
