Better question...

Is it legal for you to possess them pinned to 5 rounds of beowulf...

RCMP say no.

So possessing is illegal if that is the case.

As is trafficking a prohibited device.

So what should my friends with these mags do? Just destroy them?

I mean. I have 4 that I bought years ago which were just stamped on the bottom plates. Ive recieved no information in the mail that there is an issue. And I carry around my invoice for them.

So.....meh

All you can do...I don't own any but know many people that do......they are well within the law in their minds

Live their lives as they see fit. I'm sure they can make their own decisions based on the information they have in hand.

If pinned to 5 beowulf... the rcmp will consider it a prohibited device. That is their published opinion.

What a dubious use of the word "published"; borderline fear mongering.

It really gets my goat that the RCMP change their minds about something, don't tell anyone, and then wait for someone to fall into the trap. This kind of thing erodes trust between them and the public.

If you are afraid of their opinion thats on you. I can't control your feelings.

That is their opinion. They have published it. Although discreetly.

Will they prosecute though... that is the question. Seeing as the federal government by way of two agencies did permit them for a time... that would make them complicit.

That's the million dollar question, isn't it? Well, I'm out. Not worth it for me.

I am not afraid of their opinion. That being said, if their opinion was to change on a subject that would have legal implications on law abiding citizens, they are obligated to inform those who would be affected.

Have you received a letter with regards to a change in laws, regulation or enforcement of both on the issue of Beowulf letters? Has there been a public announcement?

Now I'm not sure in what context are you using the word publish here. Is it in legal or simple colloquial terms? "Use of the FRT Web is limited to individuals who have been authorized by the RCMP."

Does that sound like a public data base to you?

I don't expect you to consider my feelings when making public statements, but perhaps a wiser choice of words would help everyone that is concerned with the issue.

DOJ and what other department?
