Due to the information given to me by the RCMP with regards to the restricted firearms laws I will be storing my restricted firearms in a locked case while rendered inoperable.
You can choose to store your restricted firearms in any way you see fit, I am not one to determine legality of said storage methods.
I have a bit of an issue with local police, numerous times when I was younger I was confronted as a criminal. I have never done anything that would have the police on my door step, I am squeaky clean, but I have been considered the operator of a chop shop. I have been considered a street racer and I have been considered a vandal with absolutely no evidence. I even had the police come into my fathers house when I was 16 to ask me questions without my permission and without my father present. I do not trust that the police know the gun laws, due to a few incidents directly involving firearms so I choose to have my firearms stored in a way that removes all doubt.
Wisdom from experience, no denying that, but when a police officer sees a crossbow and says that it is illegal for you to have that it makes me a little scared for them to see any firearm.
