Small shotgun for bear defense

[Falconflyer]

All Canadian National Parks that I have been in, and specifically Banff and Jasper have prominent signs at the entrance advising that firearms are prohibited and through travellers must report and have any firearms sealed to transport it through the park. I don’t see how anyone could plead ignorance of this regulation unless they were blind and then they wouldn’t have a gun anyway.

That's why I said that I thought he got off lightly, it's pretty darn obvious to anyone who frequents the parks and can read that it's illegal to carry a firearm there.
