    here's another case, just happened near Brooks alberta....of course its a small story in the news, unfortunately not a small issue for the victim.......

    maybe he was afraid of criminal prosecution if he made a attempt to exercise his god given right of self defense......

    Seems the only right we have these days ...is to be a victim...

    Nah, it must be 'fake news'. Some are saying that we've been blowing this rural crime wave thing way out of proportion...

    Several days ago I had contacted the NFA and the CCFR reference an endorsement of the Maurice RundRazr campaign. I received one reply from the CCFR requesting more information on the case (to which I responded) but I have heard nothing else back from them. The NFA did not respond at at all. I was hoping that they would help promote the Maurice FundRazr by spreading the word among their respective membership.

    Has anyone else here tried contacting the NFA or the CCFR about the Maurice defense fund? I'm beginning to feel that we're far more alone on this thing than I had originally thought...

    The victim just didn't understand the danger that he was in. He failed to realize that the criminals are enabled and supported by the Turdeau Liberals...

    On a similar vein ask yourself how many successful prosecutions there have been over Beowulf mags or Butler Creek 25 rounders where an actual trial has resulted in a guilty verdict?

    Far safer to scare people and to punish by process.

    Most of the time the offender is given a fine and or probation. Maurice should have taken the fine and probation in this case. No one wants to see a family man go to jail but when you slap the hand away when you are given a deal then you deserve what you get.

    Reading your post it sounds like the case has been decided and Maurice is off to jail. Has that happened?

    There's no 'fine and probation' for firearms offences. Mandatory firearms prohibition and seizure, and jail time to boot. Once a firearm is involved, the book gets launched, not thrown at you.

    Actually that is not always the case. I know of several people that have been been in similar situations, 1 was shot while hunting, another with hit by a ricochet round and in the hunting situation they paid a fine and got probation. The ricochet incident was much like Maurice situation and there was only a seizure of the firearm until it was all sorted out. No fine and no probation. There are several retired barristers at the shooting club and when this was " news " they all stated that the crown would have looked into the situation and offered a plea. The accused would have paid his fine and been into his probationary period by now. The facts, as they have been stated are simple, the accused heard someone rummaging around in his vehicle from behind a locked door, safe and out of harms way he identified that there were 2 men, so he opened up the door and shot at them. At no time did he call 911, yell out to the victim that he had called police, fired a warning shot.... The fund that is being set up will only help line the lawyers pocket. I think it would be a kick in the pants if and when the bloke who was shot sues Maurice.
