I printed off the article from Sun News Network. And the 2nd page I'm going to get laminated and keep with my 858 mags. It's not legalize but it will get the LE thinking before a confiscation???
 
A step in the right direction! I don't own a 858 but I'm glad the those who own them aren't viewed as criminals anymore... well not until they reclass it back to non-restricted tho.....

While we're at it please work on the stupid Magazine restrictions and de-restrict AR platforms
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but this was just an announcement of what they intend to do, not actual legislation. As far as I can tell, you still cant take your 858 out to the range yet.

The CZ858 and Swiss Arms are free to use immediately as the amnesty now covers use and transportation. The legislation with permanent fixes will be tabled in the fall and hopefully past early next year.

If I understand it correctly, the 858 announcement was separate from the rest of law reform, it is basically an updated version of the original amnesty, which covered merely possession but did not adress other practical issues such as transport for example. It does not involve me personally but knowing the law in respect of non-restricted, restricted, prohibited and prohibited devices and different individual requirements for possession, storage and transport, I cannot wrap my head around it, because SA's and 858's in this case essentially don't belong into any of these categories. A "prohib" that is not registered but at the same time owned by NON-R- PAL holder. cannot be sold but can be used and transported as non-restricted. It's a marvel of consequences of C-68. The current Firearms Act is the real root cause.
 
Hey Grumpy,
How about we take our rifles to work tomorrow to let off a few rounds at the end of the day to celebrate?
 
What great news that in a world where there only seems to be diminishing gun rights everywhere the only way to increase ones gun rights is to move to a more gun friendly jurisdiction, this is finally a step to increase gun rights where we live. And great language to hear that it's a "right" to own firearms. This may be the first time I write to my elected officials to really encourage and support this attitude and direction.
 
I am sure looking forward to taking my 858 to the range, but I'm still a little hesitant without some official paperwork. I could just see an uninformed police officer pulling me over and making my life a lot harder than I want.
 
"He stated that in the new upcoming bill, that it will be permanently addressed with the section about curtailing the RCMP's ability to reclassify etc."
whoa whoa, for reals.....best news ever.
