Hahaha !!!! You better stick to trolling ! Your understanding of the law sucks !!!!!
I’ll help you....maybe....check out the definition of “firearm” in the CC.....
Here it is for you....
firearm means a barrelled weapon from which any shot, bullet or other projectile can be discharged and that is capable of causing serious bodily injury or death to a person, and includes any frame or receiver of such a barrelled weapon and anything that can be adapted for use as a firearm; (arme à feu)
I am just informing you of what the regs say. We are in Ontario and follow Ontario hunting regulations, and they specifically say that you maybe charged under the CC of Canada as well as Ontario laws. Do you not follow that obvious possibly of CC charges if they mention it in the Ontario regs... Okay lets take it down a notch. Even if they do not charge him under the CC, In Ontario he could be charged with 'hunting recklessly', a possible 25 thousand $ fine.... that is one expensive deer. That he won't get to keep.
Wrong again....the mere fact that he is discharging a bow in an area where discharge bylaws prohibit it, will not constitute a charge of Careless hunting. He will have committed at best, a bylaw infraction. If he takes a shot and the bolt hits a car or something in a parking lot, or flys through a playground, then that’s a totally different matter. There must be more involved than just a discharge...
Ok I want to know who this guy is!!! If he needs help filling his tags I have a crossbow and am willing to travel!!! :)
Don't know. I am referring to the portion of the Ontario Hunting regulations, that determined that any bow is a firearm, while used for hunting in Ontario, and thus you can be charged under the C.C. for firearms offences. Don't get upset with me, I am just reading the regs. It clearly states that a C.C. charge is a possibility.
Even if he is hunting in , ' no discharge zone' , contrary to municipal discharge regulations? Would that not make you a ....poacher? I feed the deer over my back fence, that is over looking conservation lands. You want a shot at the nice 6 pointer that visits nightly? Forbidden zone. Same deal.
What Reg. What law, what authority ???? You keep babbling about the regs say you could be charged with a CC offence....which one ?? I’ve told you what that likely relates to....post the section!!! Remember, the Regs you keep harping about are ONLY a summary.....not the statutes.....
You are way out of your league !!!
Now i know your just messing with me. Ontario Hunting Regulations. You know the law we must follow when hunting in Ontario.. Please read the section, on firearms , it includes all bows while hunting, it is self explanatory. Your beef is with whomever wrote them , not me. When it comes to hunting and guns, I always follow the law, because I don't want to lose my privileges. That is correct, my privileges, not my right.
