Oh your right!
I guess we should all be allowed to leave loaded hand guns unattended in unlocked cars and not get in any trouble for it.

How are things under the bridge?
You do know that it was a Calgary Police Service member who had a C7 "patrol carbine" and 2 loaded "high capacity" magazines taken from his unlocked private vehicle that was parked outside a popular sports bar?
No charges were ever laid and he still has a job. They did get the gun and most of the ammo back but the $800 Pelican case has not been recovered.

Wanna take a guess what would happen to me or thee under similar circumstances? Kind of blows that whole "equal before the law" lie apart doesn't it?

Don't know how many are aware but a careless restricted gun owner had his handgun stolen two days back. It was in his unlocked car, centre console, no trigger lock and with ammo. Fellow was in Cochrane near Calgary. Not good PR for our cause and real disappointing to hear. He is to be charged with unsafe storage of a firearm. Just wonder if his R-PAL is gone now?

Got a link describing this incident? Some thing doesn't add up here.

My point of mentioning this is simply to say he broke lots of laws. Right, wrong, or indifferent the law is what it is. Responsible owners can further the lobbies ( good one being to keep trying to unrestrict ARs) and the biggest help is to ensure we are all responsible gun owners where we cannot be tripped up with bad examples as we pursue these changes. The ONLY way to change the laws is through lobby and due process plain and simple. This guy does not help the cause.

This was shut down yesterday. The gov replied they have no intention of derestricting. This attempt is dead
 
ya, the guy f'd up..

but I gotta give him credit for having the balls to go directly to the cops and tell them what happened, knowing he was probably going to get raked over the coals huge.
I'm figuring his end-intent was to just do what he could do get the gun out of someone's hands who probably shouldn't have one.

I suppose if the guy wanted to stretch the truth ; he could have told the cops that the 357 was trigger locked and in a lock box , and the truck was locked when the gun was stolen . That way the theft would have been reported ,yet he would have covered his own rear end at the same time . Depending how long the guy had owned the gun , he may not even have taken the R-PAL course , and may not have known the safe storage requirements for a restricted....who knows what the back story is . Lots of folks had restricted firearms in their possession before all the gun control regulations with the course requirements came into effect .

He should have been better engineered. And perhaps, the actual criminal, the thief, should be the focus...for once.

Yes but instead most of the comments sound like a lynch mob. Hang him high, even if he's one of us, and admits his mistake. I wonder if any of the people posting the negative comments have ever made a mistake and if they did, did they try to do the right thing like this guy did.
