It's really too bad that we have to do so much guesswork, it was only until someone phoned the RCMP and just happened to get the right person, do we get some somewhat clearer answers....
The RCMP should be working with us to make the gun community more at ease with legal decisions ramifications etc.
For example in the states, the ATF deal with the public all the time, and they accept tons of emails and phone calls and actually communicate with the gun community. It's easy and they reply to every one that actually asks a question on the law.
The RCMP on the other hand remain silent, or "don't know" when you call them, and as far as I'm concerned they don't answer emails as I've sent a few.
In my opinion, they are clearly against us and not for us as this simple observation is proof enough. If they are reading this thread they should be ashamed of themselves for making their own job harder, and making our lives more difficult because they don't want us to have guns even though this is a free country and shooting is still very much legal....
