Canadian Tire/Walmart Safes. Do they meet restricted storage regs?

who gives a rats ass what the crown is telling the judge. It is the judge who makes the ruling and if you read the law there is no provision that we must prevent theft. The law is very hard to make sense of, as it doesn't give any definitions of such terms like reasonable, or safe. My understanding is a safe is a safe and a cabinet is a cabinet. I know I am sooooo smart. eh? anyways a cabinet is a secure storage container not easily broken into, no different from a plano box. In the law it says that in a storage container a restricted requires a trigger lock. If you have a safe, that is sold as a safe, than you don't need a trigger lock. Like others have said just keep the regs close at hand.

I bought one of those office safes and made a label that says "Ordnance Storage Solutions" which I affixed to the front. As I will explain if necessary, I bought this safe at a gun show as it was "specifically made for the storage of firearms".

A gun cabinet is something you don't see much these days - you used to be able to order them from Sears catalogue, along with Lakefield .22's. For those too young to remember, a gun cabinet is a piece of furniture that you would have in your living room. It's made of wood (more typically veneer) and has a gun rack, either vertical or horizontal, behind glass cabinet doors (like a china cabinet) with a decorative "lock", the lower portion had drawers for your ammunition. It was designed to display your firearms in your livingroom or den, for everyone to admire, many of them had special lighting to highlight the firearms within. Boy have things changed, I used to know quite a few people who had these things as features in their livingrooms with shotguns and Bubba'd Enfields, even the odd pistol. At one point you could get matching liquor cabinets, another specialized piece of furniture for the livingroom. I found this picture, just in case you young'uns haven't seen a gun cabinet in real life.

Thanks for posting this...Ah the "good ole' days..."
