The PAL is one document (card). That card allows you to possess/acquire either non-restricted and/or, if qualified, restricted firearms. If your PAL is seized/revoked/cancelled, you lose all possession/acquisition privileges.
In 2020 there were 1112 refusals. The most common reasons were the individual presented a risk to themselves or others or provided false information.
yes but people seem to be under the impression that it happens and Im not so sure it does or under what conditions . eg if yoyu are charged
You mean the 'victims?'
Yes. One "victim" was arrested at the scene and charged with break-and-enter and unauthorized possession of a firearm.
i think you have the known numbers correct. what you and i do not know, is what actually transpired before, during and after. as i already stated. i believe someone kicking in your door with the intent of harming someone inside should be fair game. its just not the case in Canada. self defence is case dependent, and when not clear - its left to the judge to figure out. shit day if buddy did the right thing, but the right thing to do, if something else was involved that won't be heard until trial.
I just dont think the majority of the cases that I read about should be going to trial at all. At some point we should figure it out and its not as complicated as some make it out to be. Its just another case of misplaced priorities of our justice system resulting in the opposite outcomes that I at least desire.
A little short on details.
The guy was in Florida or something and stayed there for the entirety of his case until it was dropped. They tried to break in with torches etc..Figured someone here would remember it. Wasnt to long ago.
The Crown can't sell anything as a story that is not supported by evidence. Judges and juries are not stupid.
True but there is also punishment by process. Ian Thompson is still the perfect example of this, still being dragged through the court system well the scumbags who attempted to murder him and his family were already out. Plus the 60k in legal fees incurred to defend himself in court.
Yea I remember that case, took the thieves 3 days with saws, sledge hammers and power tools to break into his vault and he got charged with unsafe storage. You want to talk about a hostile Crown towards legal gun owners, that case and Ian Thompson case are prime examples. both people involved had even worked with police and law enforcement.
