The entire SAFE STORAGE concept in the firearms Act was to prevent suicides,having ammo and guns separate would make a person think before killing themselves.I am not saying this myself it was RIGHT in the firearms act video which I showed to the troops.Safe storage has not been defined by the courts as far as I know and its very open ended and subject to the discretion of LEO,s.
I am not to sure how you came to the conclusion the apartment was simply rented to store guns in.Does not make sense as the accused,s had plenty of places to store his guns,he was a firearms instructor and also had full access to the Lakeshore firearms range.I can tell you this for sure as he instructed me on my Glock at that very location.I think the fact that the CROWN dropped this
whole mess tells us a lot.
If a thief is determined enough they will break in anywhere, why the hell are we picking on the victim of the Break Enter and Theft.
What level are we going to set the bar at for Standard of Care.
I think a reasonable person would think a full metal extremely heavy safe which took the bad guys TWO DAYS using cutting torches to break open meets and probably exceeds the standard.
Also the fact that the CPFO was out to get this guy should have been enough to get this tossed out of court.
