Got another ‘nice’ email today for the ‘final reminder’ to register for the ‘buyback’. Can’t wait to see what the numbers are at the end of the month.

Very knowledgeable on WWII, even knows the Kurds weren’t on D-Day.

I wonder if S88 would survive a section 7 Charter Challenge. My rights to life, liberty, and the security of the person don’t end because someone seeks to deprive me of them.

‘39 The question arises as to the relevance of a finding that the accused actually used his weapon in a manner which constituted justifiable self-defence. Thus, in R. v. Sulland (1982), 2 C.C.C. (3d) 68, the British Columbia Court of Appeal held, at p. 71: In my view, one does not commit the...

My actual line if I ever had to defend myself from any sort of threat is ‘speak to my lawyer’. Don’t say a word to the police, say nothing until properly counciled. If they wish to make some sort of example of you (not saying they will, just that they might) it doesn’t matter if you actually...

‘The fact that an accused possessed a weapon for a defensive purpose is not itself determinative of guilt or innocence under s. 88, and it is also clear that actual use of a weapon in a manner which is dangerous to the public peace does not establish that the weapon was possessed for a purpose...

Sentiment and legality are two very different things. These are also the same people that believe we don’t have property rights in Canada and that no one needs to own a firearm in the first place. Is it something to publicly exclaim to the world? Likely not the best idea (just as letting...

You don’t list reasons for owning a non-restricted, that is only for Restricted licences. My argument is there is all sorts of valid reasons to own a firearm, personally I hunt, target shoot, and collect. Self defence is also a acceptable reason otherwise it would not be part of the law. Since...

I am in the ‘camp’ part of the country. We aren’t rich enough for the fancy cottage folk round here.

You guys should try Northern Ontario. Some real beautiful chunks of land for sometimes in the low 100k range. Or if you wait longer things like this come up (outside my price range)...

100% it is also supposed to be just to maintain capabilities not really be expanding it (though in our case it is due to how underfunded we have been for so long). Literally has never been at or above 2% within my lifetime.

My preferred method of storing a firearm for self defence was just having a gun in a safe with the ammo right by it. Quicker than multiple locks and still meets the legal requirements. I don’t buy that interpretation. Considering one of the valid legal uses of a firearm is self defence (one of...
