Possible Scenario:
I'm shooting my Rossi Ranch Hand (which is always the centre of attention) at the public range when the local RCMP shows up. He's having a bad day and decides to take it out on me. (Side Note: Recent article in the Calgary Sun concerning illegal harvesting of gun owner information by some law inforcement agencies shows a GROSS IGNORANCE of current laws by senior law enforcement officials) Said officer starts to question the legality of me possessing a "sawed off" rifle, never mind flaunting it in public. I comment to said officer that the gun in question is absolutely legal and that I have the current registration in my gun case so that said officer can become more educated on this particular firearm. Said officer inspects gun registration and hopefully the case (pun intended) is closed.
