Edmonton is looking to limit the sale of bear spray to people 18 years and older. Additionally, those buying it would have their name, ID number and date of birth recorded.
I purchased bear spray last year. I had to sign a sheet with my name at the “gun counter” (I have thought of it like this as a kid) and it included basic contact info but the person did not verify the info.
I offered to show my ID and was told it would be checked when I paid for the bear spray.
When I picked up the bear spray at the customer service counter to pay, my ID was not checked.
I am not a teenager or someone who “looks like a criminal” but I would have thought they could at least verify my info. Anyway, hopefully this regulation helps.
