Safe Storage

I'm curious how others interpret the word "remote", as contained within the F.A.

" Paragraphs (1)(b) and (c) do not apply to an individual who stores a non-restricted firearm in a location that is in a remote wilderness area that is not subject to any visible or otherwise reasonably ascertainable use incompatible with hunting"

There is no definition of the word that I could find in the act? In fact, I don't believe the word "wilderness" is defined either? Does this regulation mean 100 miles in the bush or a cabin 100 feet away from a road in a largely rural area surrounded by bush for several miles?

Left grey to allow the LEOs to charge you and you to defend yourself, most of the firearms storage laws are grey, I can only ascertain that they want to be able to charge people and force them to spend the money to defend themselves.

I think you're pretty much spot on Fox. A judge would have to make a decision, if it hasn't already been decided in a court case?

I’ve heard if you are paddling down a crick on your way to your favorite blind , and nature calls, and you pull your craft ashore and move a short distance away to relieve yourself. Your choices are to take your firearm with you or leave it in the craft. If you take it with you there is no problem, if you leave in your craft, I’ve heard it should be unload and disabled and possibly out of sight. It appears to come down to the idea of how a firearm should be safely left in an unattended vehicle. Not the fact that you might be in the middle of nowhere. To be on the safe side, you should probably take your trigger lock with you when you board your craft to go out duck hunting, you just never know.

The word reasonable was introduced in law with the Charter, and is the single most effective tool that allows police to charge and seize (WRT to Firearms) and force you into court to defend. It is a very vague and designed law word to do exactly that.

Whomever you heard that from was out-to-lunch. "Reasonable" under the circumstances may be used as defense should something like that ever happen,but,the chances are slim to none that it would ever happen in the first place.

They will drain you of all your money before it even gets to a judge.

I agree trimmer21, reasonable should count for something. I have an old Zulu shotgun that has an extra wide trigger guard so it make it almost impossible to close a trigger lock on it in order to disable it, so I was removing the firing pin to disable it for safe storage, I was advised by a firearm instructor, that was not one of the parameters the law describes as a means of disabling a firearm for legal storage. What do you think?
