Keeping non restricted in my car trunk

Their house, their rules.

I can't see why storage in the trunk would damage them any more than a damp basement box that you shake occasionally. Do I think it's a good idea? No.

The restrictions on the ownership of property by living at your parents should be a big reason to move.
 
Ahhh man its not worth the hassle.....just sneak them inside when your parents are gone....trigger locked and hidden away from your parents.....why not have a series talk with them about what you love....they will understand

My parents wanted me to get a safe so I got a safe. 400 bucks at Costco or somewhere else for under a 1000. If they aren't cool with that then sell the guns and move out.

This is canada. Keeping firearms in a trunk of a car for a year you're either going to be dealing with police or a court case. Is that worth an sks and a bolt 22 ?

I'm assuming you have an older car ? Does it have an alarm ? Where is it going to be parked ?

Cars get broken into everywhere and everyday in this country.

Sell the guns. Move out. Buy some guns. Make a few firsts posts on here that aren't so suspicious
 
Call your RCMP CFO and let us know what he/she says.

An internet opinion from a guy named Pillpopper666, that was supported by GrandeGunGuy will likely not stand up in court, even if you bring a screenshot.

Hello all, I have two non restricted weapons that I keep in the trunk of my car (no ammunition in the trunk) . The reason why I don't keep them home is simple, my parents do not tolerate firearms and dont want to see anything that looks like one in the house. The two firearms (an sks with a wooden stock and a 22 lr bolt action with a polymer stock) are trigger locked and are in a soft case. I was wondering if it was legal to leave them in the trunk for a year and if it will not damage them by leaving them in a place where the temperature is not controlled (thinking about rust caused by moisture). Otherwise what will you do in my situation. I will be firing them at a range and cleaning them right after using them.

P.S: Yes I do have a restricted PAL .For the moment, moving out is not an option. And I don't know anyone who is able to keep them.


Thanks !

This is not an issue in BC. Shouldnt be out east either.. Almost every truck up here in northern BC has Rifle in it. Most just have a blanket over them and bolt removed or trigger lock as the law states it must be out of sight and disabled if not hunting..
I would store them in a gun sock as stated by geologist. Maybe throw in a few of those desiccant packages to eat moisture up.. "Snider Shooter" Nova Scotia is charging someone for having a NR rifle secured in their trunk??? Time to move.. sorry thats sad
 
There are so many different ways for you to get charged storing them in your car it's not worth it, you have $300-$400 invested in them, sell them until you can afford better roommates.
 
Whether or not it's legal is the least of your concerns. Whether or not a cop may charge you on the other hand...

The simple fact is you are risking charges. The risk is not worth the pay off in this scenario. Even if you get off, the simple fact you were charged with a firearms offense will haunt you for years, not to mention the cost of hiring a lawyer to deal with preceding up until you get off, whether that's by plea or through court... And a conviction will almost certainly include a firearms ban.

Either work something out with the parents, store them at a trusted (and licensed) friends' house, or sell them until you've got a better situation.

Or, you could take up golf. (and by that I mean get a golf bag for transporting your guns and just lie to your parents.)
 
Pfff...
1. The cops have to prove that you are storing and not transporting.. They'll have no evidence to proceed in court.
2. As long as you have it in legal compliance you're good to go.
3. The cops actually need to have a reason to search and seize your vehicle, so permitting your not being a dumb ass, your fine there.
4. Law enforcement agencies can lay charges on anyone, does it mean their going to stick!? No!
5. Be smart, just don't tell every Tom #### and Harry out there that your travelling with guns, be a ghost in this world, not a red label.

Cheers!
 
I am amazed at how complex people make this.
let A = unloaded.
let B = rendered inoperable
therefore, legal = A & B; (meaning A AND B)
or,
legal = !(!A | !B); (meaning not (not A OR not B)
so if you are not ( not unloading your firearm OR not rendering your firearm inoperable) then,
you are legal.
However, if you are (not unloading your firearm OR not rendering your firearm inoperable) then,
you are illegal.
Therefore,
if you are (unloading your firearm AND rendering your firearm inoperable) then,
you are legal if and only if your firearm is out of sight. (let C = out of sight).
So,
if A and B and C are true, then legal.
Furthermore,
if not (A OR B OR C) you are illegal.
In addition, let D = parents wishes and rules of the house;
if (A AND B AND C AND D) then you are both legal and ethical.
However, if (A AND B AND C AND NOT D) you are not ethical but legal with the chance that NOT D will make you homeless.
Therefore,
Sell the firearms or move out.
Edit:
A truth table may be required

A | B | C | D
0 0 0 0 = illegal, unethical
0 0 0 1 = illegal, ethical
0 0 1 0 = illegal, unethical
0 0 1 1 = illegal, ethical
0 1 0 0 = illegal, unethical
0 1 0 1 = illegal, ethical
0 1 1 0 = illegal, unethical
0 1 1 1 = illegal, ethical
1 0 0 0 = illegal, unethical
1 0 0 1 = illegal, ethical
1 0 1 0 = illegal, unethical
1 0 1 1 = illegal, ethical
1 1 0 0 = illegal, unethical
1 1 0 1 = illegal, ethical
1 1 1 0 = legal, unethical
1 1 1 1 = BINGO. YOU GOT IT RIGHT.
