IPSC and the OIC

Wondering whats IPSC's stance is on this. You'd think that they would be one of loudest voices on the topic.

As far as I know every IPSC organization across the country has donated large sums of cash to legal action. They themselves are not a lawyers so the best they can do is financially assist the organization that are like the CCFR.

Yes I believe several provincial or regional IPSC groups made a combined donation to the CCFR challenge. They are a sport organization not an advocacy group so getting behind one of the other challenges and keeping their members up to date is about right for them.

As a member, I don’t think that goes far enough. With the stroke of a pen, the OIC and subsequent FRT changes decimated two IPSC disciplines (Rifle and PCC) and severely crippled a third (Shotgun)...Now they’ve made it clear handguns are next on the list, whether directly or through their municipal proxies. This pretty much spells the end of IPSC in Canada...unless we all switch to action air.

As an international Sport shooting body they are uniquely qualified to provide evidence and expertise to the various challenges. I know IPSC Ontario has struck a committee to work towards official provincial and national recognition as a sports organization. Not sure what else they are doing behind the scenes but this isn't the time to be meek or shy so I would hope they are active...In any case, an update from the board or the committee is always appreciated - as this thread demonstrates...

Great points Innavedaw!

I believe Ontario IPSC has the most members and the biggest bankroll. I never heard. Lots of the IPSC provincial groups donated to CCFr. What did Ontario do?

This entire OIC revolves around these firearms having no sporting purpose. IPSC should be stepping up as they are that purpose.

The post that was deleted was mine....criticize wisely, otherwise the CGN Admin will delete....why would they do that???? It surely wouldn't have anything to do with a Forum Sponsor being the President of IPSC Canada.....things that make you go HMMMMMM?????
 
Being uniquely qualified to give an opinion or evidence to this government means absolutely jack. However I am sure that if one of the litigants involved requested they present evidence they would be more than happy do so as it would be in their best interests
 
I’ve been watching all of the CCFR posts on social media, thanking the gun clubs, ranges, and organizations from across the country who have donated to their legal fight...I don’t recall seeing one from IPSC Ontario, has anyone else?
 
IPSC if anything has the the most to lose with this OIC crap. Nothing like waiting for the bridge to collapse. They should have been the first ones to denounce this garbage. They don't seem to have any issues complaining about everything else on the IPSC website.

IPSC isn't the only sport organization in Canada, and none of the other orgs are going scorched earth on the government either.

You could say the same thing about all the provincial rifle associations, the DCRA, etc. Some of these organizations might get back traction through more meaningful engagement processes than simply making a bunch of noise on social media.
 
IPSC is not the only org but it is one of the largest, is directly impacted and has global infrastructure.

DCRA has signed on to the Parker challenge...And they issued a statement against the OIC about 2 hours after Justin’s presser on May 1.

A few of the Multi-gun orgs have offered affidavits/material and/or are willing to give testimony in support of the Hipwell challenge.

Your move IPSC...
 
Ipsc-Ont has become an affiliate of the Shooting Federation of Canada. Ipsc-Canada has also become an affiliate. This makes us a recognized sport on a national level. As to the CCFR legal fund. Ipsc-Ont has not made a donation, but expect an announcement shortly as to the plan for that.
