idk even know what a leo is...

hear is an idea that would have prevented this stupid issue in the first place...

get a litttle more lacks on the restriced laws. if your boring to register to begin with its doubtful your going to commit a crime.

and yes its cops, smoky, 5-0, po po, basically what ever you want to call them fellows who have a badge and get specail rights that allow them to break laws and not get caught.. ex, speeding,smoking drugs, getting there kids off charges,playing with there restriced in the back yard.. these are all things i wittnessed in the past few years.

what really annoys me is when a cop flys by your at 140 with no lights on and 5 min later you pass him at the gas station. its rediculios
 
Law Enforcement Officer = LEO


my question is, why would a pistol grip make this gun restricted?? (sorry, a little off topic, but there were a couple of posts about it),, is it just over all length that it would change?? or is there laws against the pistol grip on a shot gun??

Overall leangth will make it too short (under 26")

The crown and cops know the gun is legal.
They've known it from minute 1 of this farce.

I think you are giving them far too much credit. When CA's refer to licenses as FAC's and officers tell me I need to case and triggerlock my non-restricteds for transportation, it is obvious that the entire justice/law enforcment system is woefully ill informed on our convoluted firearms laws.

Given that, I don't find it hard to believe an officer was misinformed as to the legality of a short barrelled shotgun at all.

There are plenty of COs LEOs, and firearms owners for that matter, that still think that any barrel lenth under 18" is restricted.

Dosnt surprize me one bit that this has happened somewhere.

You would think that the FRT number would have solved this, but I guess not.

Agreed. Some people here and on other threads have mentioned we should be more visible in our safe and legal use of firearms to encourage more understanding and interest. Of course it might just result in getting arrested and your guns seized .......
 
If you read the quoted post from the OPs other thread, there may have been some mods... The OP may not be the angel he's holding himself out to be and the RCMP may have a perfectly legit prohib weapon in the evidence locker.

Overall Length or ( OAL) cannot be less then 26 inchs. A beneli M4 is restricted for that reason, you push the stock all the way in and its too short, so its classed as restricted. You get the beneli with the fixed stock, its non-restricted.

What? The benneli m4 with an 18.5 inch barrel is most certainly non restricted, the restricted one is restricted due to barrel length as it is a center fire semi auto and sports a 14" inch barrel.

Be careful about posting misinformation!!!

Ok I stand corrected, that is the way i understood it, the one with the collapsible stock, would be at restricted length with the stock collapsed.

My bad, i was wrong, wolverine has one for sale now with the 18.5 inch barrel and its non-restricted. Guess i may have to get one now.

Im pretty sure i heard that misinformation on here too, now im repeating it, my bad, ill edit that post.:rockOn:

This is a question that has been bothering me for some time. I've been out of the country for a number of years so I'm out of touch but when and why did 'cop' become an accepted way to talk about LEOs? ...

It's acceptable since that is what is written right on the side of the vehicles:

RCMP = Royal Canadian Mounted Police
GRC = Gravel Road Cop




:D ;)


True story:

A few years ago I walked into the local Tim Hortons with a buddy of mine, there was a patrol car parked right in front that we passed to go in. We walked up to the lineup at the counter where the officers were standing right in front of us. My buddy knows I'm a walking encyclopedia of semi-useless information so he quietly and seriously asks me what does GRC stand for. I quietly replied "gravel road cop" (we are in the sticks and have a lot of gravel roads here). One of the officers in front of us apparently overheard us and glanced our way and started to laugh but tried real hard to keep it in. I smiled and then told my buddy it is the french: Gendarmerie royale du Canada. The officer tapped the arm of his partner and asked him "do you know what GRC stands for...?"

It was another officer many years ago who was my best friend who told me the joke about GRC, sadly he is no longer with us.

Who pays his lawyers bill?
Not the RCMP I'm sure.
Did the Mounties check with the Crown before laying the charge.
People have got to start suing for false arrest.
In the USA the NRA would file a civil suit and sue the cops down to their boxer shorts.
That's the only way this intentional abuse of process will stop.

What Canadian pro firearms organizations do YOU support financially and through membership..... and are you a member of the CPC, a contributer perhaps? I asked this previously and recieved no response. I am very curious now, perhaps you belong to all of them??
 
OldWays said:
In light of the above replies and responses I have a somewhat off topic but related question (the OP has been silent for a bit so I don't feel too bad about highjacking this for a moment)
Perhaps it should be in another thread but as there are a few LEOs here, I want to ask.

This is a question that has been bothering me for some time. I've been out of the country for a number of years so I'm out of touch but when and why did 'cop' become an accepted way to talk about LEOs? The first time I heard a respected newsman say 'cop' on the national news I almost spit out my coffee. I see it in print media all the time (not rags but real newspapers.). Of course 'cop' 'copper' etc has been used for a very long time but always very casually and almost always in a somewhat derogatory way. Now it seems 'cop' is an accepted way to talk about LEOs? Is it?

Cop actually is an acronym they used back in the old country. It's stands for Constable On Patrol. Fun fact for you today. :)
 
Getting jerked-around

I'm pretty sure that the mystery guy who started this thread (and added a very similar comment into another thread) is just messing with us ... using the tried-and-true "questionable-statement-with-no-followup-details" gambit.

Probably loves the attention ... :(

"Cop" comes from "Coppers" a nickname earned due to the fact the tunic buttons of early British police were made from copper

Homer, I apologize.
Please do not read any "hate" in my previous post,
because there wasn't any.
In addition, I didn't know until now you were a cop.
You, from all the people here, did not deserve to be offended.
Please let me know how you want me to edit my previous post.

Apology accepted. No need to edit anything. I do get a little tired of the anti-police bs that floats around here often. Most of the time I just avoid it.

By the way normally I enjoy your posts. Especially your reviews of Dlask products.

Sorry for butting into your conversation. :)

Don't let it get you down. Some of my best friends were RCMP.
In my 50+ years so far I've never met an officer yet who wasn't polite and decent, possibly because that is how I treat them whenever I have had any interaction with them.
But since I'm an old guy on here, I'm sure most of my generation are quite different than what has come up after.
