Remember that these are the guys who said that they were preparing to fight UN and/or Chinese troops who might invade Canada?

Now their lawyer says that they were used for hunting? Was she taking about the pipe bomb or the handguns?

I don't see a single trigger or cable lock in that photo. Was the ammunition stored in a separate locked container?

These guys should never be allowed to own a firearm again based solely on the UN/China delusion. These types of violent collective fantasies are extremely dangerous and they absolutely should be disqualifying.

Handguns are not illegal in Canada. I’ve got 3 all properly licensed and stored in a safe.

You can’t use them for hunting, but that’s not what you said.

Trappers and other wilderness types can apply for a license to carry them for self defence from predators while in the wild from what I recall, but you need to actually get the license not just decide to tote it around, which is very much how it should be.

I own firearms but appreciate the Canadian training and regulations. The way it should be, at least before liberal fuckery with gun legislation to get cheap votes and not actually fix the problem.

Not just any wilderness type.

You must also:

  • be a licensed professional trapper or
  • need protection from wild animals while working at your lawful occupation, most often in a remote wilderness location

Ya. Basically what I said.

You said, "wilderness types" which suggests that anyone who is in the wilderness can get an ATC. That is absolutely untrue. Your being in the wilderness must be a requirement of your job for you to even apply for an ATC.

Firearms “experts” are always so “helpful”.

I'm not an expert but I can Google and I can read and it's important to be accurate when you're taking about firearms. Stop moaning and move on.

Got it. Not expert. Thanks.

Not an expert but I did a quick Google search, read the actual rules, and called out your misinformation. Stop moaning and move on.
