That's an interesting observation. But the 2020 OIC, Bills C-21 and C-71 have still not been fully implemented because the Liberal government knew what they wanted to do but had no idea how to do it. Each one of those, plus the subsequent ASF bans and handgun ban, excuse me, freeze are all vote...

Remember that our former Public Safety Minister Bill Blair famously stated in 2020 that "Canadians do not arm themselves for protection from their fellow citizens" or words to that effect. Former Chretien-era Liberal Justice Minister Allan Rock also stated that the he "came to Ottawa with the...

I don't think Brihard is advocating for a higher standard for civilians at all. Recall he stated that "use of force resulting in death or serious harm is investigated, in most cases by an independent external agency". Even if such use of force doesn't result in criminal charges (i.e. it was...

Lindsay has a population of just over 22,000, so not a "howdy, neighbour!" sized community. Their prior association will likely be interesting.

Like I said, not my agency and I don't know the outcome. In defence of the unknown copper, we had some older 9mm dummy rounds at our College which could be easily mistaken for live frangible. No idea where they came from but we got rid of them damn quick! Hopefully the Crown had the common...

You'd have a better chance of seeing a unicorn in your yard in my riding than a PPC candidate at your door. Three elections now, never saw one, never received any correspondence from one.

Same. I keep a copy of the Storage and Transportation regs in my range bag. I teach safety courses at my gun club and have experienced the same thing with LEOs from a bunch of different agencies. A few have gone on to be club RSOs and instructors. Back on topic, I received a fundraising...

That is a very good question and a hard one to answer. Our byzantine firearms laws are tough for most LEOs to figure out on the side of the road. Most firearms enthusiasts are better versed in them than LEOs but they are not the ones laying the charges. To be "safe" some lazier LEOs will...

You are confusing storage with transporting. Two different requirements (from the link you posted): Storage: Non-restricted firearms Attach a secure locking device, such as a trigger lock or cable lock (or remove the bolt) so the firearms cannot be fired; or Lock the firearms in a cabinet...

The fact that we are arguing over storage regulations proves my point.

Not so fast, Kev. There was a case about a guy who buried his guns in concrete in his yard and was found guilty of unsafe storage because the judge ruled the concrete block was "not lockable" and therefore not a proper storage container. I will try to find it.

Still has to be trigger/cable locked or bolt removed and stored separately, without ammuntion readily available. I'm still convinced that our firearms laws were written by the same people who wrote home theatre assembly and operating instructions in the 1980's.

I guess I'll start my Christmas list now.

May I introduce you to Amber Guyger? And she was sober.

My daughter, who lives right next door, had a mentally disturbed but non-violent young man wander into her house, clearly confused and in need of help. Should he have been the subject of deadly force? Dad (me) right next door, went over inmmediately to assess the situation and deemed it a...
