I'd give up Rick. You are clearly correct, but its not sinking in for him.

Yea, I’ve just been feedin’ the troll !!!!!lol

[MikePal]

I'm waiting for him to blame Harper or Harris for writing regulations that too hard for Liberals to understand

Could....... CC. (RSC, 1985, c. C-46 ) Look up , 'dangerous us of a firearm'. What he is doing certainly falls under that Criminal Code of Canada , statute. Describes what he is doing perfectly.

This doesn't apply in that situation. See below.

Except that a bow is not a firearm......

A firearm offense can't be laid is true. Sect 219(1) (a) certainly does.

I already answered that ! Post the specific verbiage, in the Summary. Up until this year, COs did not have anything to do with the Firearms Act. Now, a Firearms Licence or other proof of accreditation must be produced upon demand by a CO, along with your Outdoors Card and applicable hunting licences.
So, now if you don’t have a firearms licence or other accreditation to allow you to possess a GUN, you are liable to other criminal charges. If you read the legislation this all relates to, you will see the MNRF now mentions GUN, not firearm, due to the different definitions between criminal law and provincial law....

I believe the CO,s are enforcing the Firearms Act for the second year now,but who's counting.

Kinda strange with gun loving Conservatives running the Province,never had this nonsense with Kathy Wynne.

For a Crim Neg charge, there would need to be a whole lot more than just a discharge bylaw offence.....

The survey is now closed. Thank you for your opinions.

Just back away slowly, and hope it burns out soon..

I know you did not intend this...don't blame yourself.

Strange isn't the word for it. Some things make you go h-m-m-m-m.

With the proximity of a park,even a near miss could land him in court,bylaw or no bylaw.

Yep. Let the heavy weight battle with the nitwits. They need to be properly spanked every once in awhile.

What you are confusing is the local and municipal "Discharge of Firearms" By-Laws which have changed and still are changing in the last 5 years. DoF bylaws have included the classifications of bows, arrows, pellet, BB guns and slingshots in most "descriptions of a firearm.
The definition in the CCC - firearm. firearm means a barrelled weapon from which any shot, bullet or other projectile can be discharged and that is capable of causing serious bodily injury or death to a person, and includes any frame or receiver of such a barrelled weapon and anything that can be adapted for use as a firearm

FROM City Of Ottawa - Discharge By-Law: "firearm” means any class or type of gun or other firearm including a shotgun, rifle, airgun, spring-gun, longbow or crossbow.

So cities and municipalities have granted themselves more authority to charge people with "Firearms Offences", this contravenes the CCC, however, it doesn't matter to them if it is illegal or not... You see the objective is to hem you up in court, and justify more authoritarian responses, because of "illegal firearms discharge", when if fact it is NOT, IAW CCC.

You responses are a perfect example of the uneducated firearms owners who harm our own industry, passion and sport.

Another uneducated response - "or you would be aware any bow is considered a firearm". SO why do they have a H1 and H2 license classification on Ontario - my point on your education, and ability to spread false lies..... is..laughable.

Obviously not, or you would be aware any bow is considered a firearm in Ontario, when being used for hunting. The regs state that if it is being used improperly in Ontario , you can be charged with firearms offences under the CC of Canada.
