Could it be that he is not a black kid in the city?

Ya but most of these “most people” are liberals and live in Toronto and they also can’t figure out how to get a trigger lock off within a few minutes.............

..... and they just cant help themselves to racebait every opportunity they can. Pretty disgusting considering the Eatons Center Mall shooting court decision this week, lowering the charge from murder to manslaughter. Pathetic.
I take no lesson from them clowns.

I've done something similar except it was 611 I was attempting to dial. Two OPP officers showed up about ten minutes later at the front gate. I explained the situation and offered to let them search the house (they didn't ask.) They declined. It wouldn't have been a problem as my guns are legally stored.

Even a lawyer who graduated bottom 3rd of his class could win a case of diminished responsibility (capacity)....becasue it's clear that anyone who has 100 guns laying round the house and allows a LEO to come in and have a look around should not be held fully criminally liable for doing so, as their mental functions were clearly "diminished" or impaired.

Given that rationale, anyone committing a criminal offence could say the same !!

I bet he did not have enough locks or locked storage for all his guns. Sounds like you are trying to justify, or excuse his unsafe storage. Why?

Because he's not committing any crime by being at home with his guns out of a safe or the trigger lock taken off, regardless if it's 1 or 100. They're charging him on the assumption he leaves them that way all the time.

Should you be charged on the assumption that you'll speed on the way to your cottage?

Well, that would depend on where they were found, or if he even had locks. Lots of information not known here.,,

Much easier to convince a judge when your client is a 73 yrs old and happens to fail the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Test and is declared to have dementia :)

If that were the case, the court could order a prohibition and if his lawyer requests, an order of disposition for the guns.

Bingo...gets his client off the hook for the more serious fines and the general public is no longer at risk...everyone wins.
