Get a grip on reality, I'm not advising anyone to lie to the police, all I'm saying is that he made a stupid mistake, became a victim, was honest by owning up to his mistake, and now he's paying for it. Who's the real criminal here, him or the thief.

I know were you are coming from but firearm ownership comes with responsibilities with criminal penalties attached. Follow the rules or face the consequences if something goes sideways. The only way around that is to get the laws changed or sell off all your guns. I would never leave anything of value (especially a firearm) inside my vehicle overnight even with the doors locked, let alone unlocked.

The guy screwed up (dumb, lazy move on his part) but took ownership of it and will now stand in front of a judge explaining why he didn't just take his pistol inside his home.

So... was it stolen, or somebody just tried a dumb way to get his revolver off his registry? A thought...

My first thought exactly.

Either the guy is too not_smart_enough to own firearms (unlocked cars with unlocked gun & ammos, come on...) or he's in with the guy who "stole" his gun. If he didn't steal his own gun that is. Either way this guy should barely have access to a pencil sharpener, let alone firearms.

I agree.

But there are those amongst us who chafe at the very thought of any law imposed upon us as firearm owners and anyone who believes otherwise must be socially engineered idiots.

I know. You're preaching to the choir here. The Liberal Firearm Act is draconian, convoluted, illogical and for the most part unnecessary. Things that should have been covered under regulatory laws were made criminal by the Liberals. Criminal laws that were already on the books prior to the Act being written could have covered everything else. But hey! I'm no lawyer so I have no part in the legal industry.

Most of us chafe as some aspect of the law but live within them. The people that don't take their chances and we shouldn't get all weepy or outraged when they get what's coming to them.

I suspect the guy who left the handgun and ammo in his console didn't just make a mistake but kept it their regularly and is now paying the price.
 
Gun ownership in this country is a privalage, not a right

don't follow the rules, and jump through the hoops imposed in us no matter how we hate them, and you will lose that privalage.

We dont need to be high and mighty when someone screws up, but we don't need to make excuses for them also. We aee adults, and responsible for iur own actions.

that said, none of my restricted firearms have ever been let in my vehicle, even when I'm away for competitions. Especially overnight.
 
Suspect this happened, assume this happens, nobody but the poor sucker getting thrown under the bus and the police know what happened. This thread reads like a comic strip, and so much self righteousness it's enough to make a fella sick.
 
I dont know anything about the gun owner maybe he's a nice guy, maybe he's a criminal with a PAL. Sounds like he had the gun there for protection and probably for more than just that day (you dont leave a handgun with ammo in a center console on your way to the range in Canada).

But he broke the law we shouldn't have in a first place.
If I could leave a loaded gun in a car (like people in the States) I probably would have a car gun :)
 
Actually a guy who left his restricted firearm with 30 round mags in his vehicle and had it stolen did loose his job.....

Rich

What is the point of your question? If you are asking if I've been around long enough to been able purchased firearms & ammo before needing the governments permission, yes.

My point is: blame the current generation for the mess we are in now.... but blame yourselves equally for the current situation we are in....

Same ####ing team here. So act like it.... work to make it a right again


You can't honestly say that social engineering is ####ing up society... when the people today grew up in an engineered system.
The people that could have prevented that system are the ones #####ing now.


To be fair. It is not your fault specifically... but I know I am active in the fight... can you say the same?
