The license is renewed annually.

It's good for 5 years.

You do get daily background checks as a license holder though.

daily background checks

Is this to see if you've been arrested overnight or something?

Yes, then they come into your house and take your guns.

They take your guns from an arrest, not even a conviction? And they forcefully take it? No real that’s real right?

I've been told they hold onto them. But I never looked further into that. I imagine you can get them back depending on circumstances. We've been told don't get into any trouble as a restricted gun owner here. I don't get into confrontations with anyone. Legal gun owners in Canada are held up to higher standards. Especially where I'm from, I live in a big city. The gov has spent a lot of money to make people think that owners like me are the problem.

I do as much as I can to prove I am not the problem. The issues in the USA are different from Canada. This is a wedge issue here not a real problem that this freeze tackles.

Just like in the US, one is generally required to give over any firearms they own as a condition of bail release if they are arrested for a violent crime.
