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...

It's also highly unlikely that an armed homeowner, particularly in Canada, would be confronting an intruder with a holstered handgun. Most likely a long gun or impact weapon.

If it walks like a duck and looks like a duck, it probably thinks it's a duck.

Put the LASER pointer dot on the burglar's chest and let the cats do the rest.

That's because the armed civilian generally has less intervention options available to them. No OC spray, baton or TASER. Assuming the victim has access to a firearm, escalation goes from verbal to lethal force with nothing in between. Self defence doesn't always involve a firearm. The recent...

Thanks to the entertainment industry, when the good guy/gal wins, the next scene has everyone hoisting pints at the local watering hole. No investigation, no consequences. The majority of folks talk a good game without having taken any training or wargamed any self-defence scenarios in their...

Self defence is rarely, if ever, a fair fight. In order to defend yourself you must, in most cases, overcome the threat to you. That is where the 34(2)(g) comes into play and why the requirement for proportionality became a factor, as Brihard pointed out earlier, and no longer a hard...

Probably the most convoluted thread title on this site.

My wife and I went through a trial in 2016 where the question of proportionality was a key issue. (I can write of this as one party is now deceased and I have no idea where the other party is or if they are still alive.) In that case we had both witnessed a small statured lady with a large...

There was another home invasion in my county last February in which the victims did use a firearm (possibly that of the intruders, but it's unconfirmed) resulting in the deaths of two of three intruders. No charges have been laid to date and the victims, who were initially taken into custody...

According to recent news reports the intruder and resident were known to each other. The Kawartha Lakes Police Chief was quoted saying the charges were laid because the force use has to be proportional and reasonable. If you read the info at the link I posted yesterday, you would see that he is...
