Not so.
The one case where this happened is not as simple as you make it seem. You neglect to mention that the vault was in an apartment rented for the purpose of keeping guns and therefore unattended. That's not a conventional storage arrangement, so a question arises: what is the standard of care? Ought there to be an alarm system, for example?
The Crown took the view that the storage arrangement did not meet the standard of care.
Not a concern in "normal" situations. Many people have break-ins, lose guns, and are not charged. I've met & talked to some.

Assuming of course that the LEO’s didn’t have any prior issue with the guy,
Well the place he stored the guns a crime ridden public housing area was not a wise choice of place to store such a cache of firearms along with him being an expert witness for the defence tipped the scales against him.

The alarm system really is of no help at all, we saw many,many, break and enter and thefts where bad guys drove a stolen car through the windows of a gun shop,scooped up a bunch of firearms and were well on their way before the police arrived.Average response time when I was on the job downtown Toronto was 7 minutes.
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.

Just as secure as the vault where I have seen our local cops store their guns in fact it was probably more secure.
Also the charges were eventually dropped.
And as you know so well the Liberals made the rules as obscure as possible specifically for that reason.
