Having read the above threads, I have to say the following:
Hang on a Goddamn minute. For starters, sections 7 & 8 of the Kanuckistan Konstitution do not, in absolute terms, allow the violation of one's right to silence, thus the Firearms Act(embedded in the Criminal Code), is totally in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights. But, can anyone afford to challenge it in the Supreme Court of Canada, with their Liberal appointed judges? They don't wear red robes for nothing! (Sarcastic aside, sorry.)
One has the absolute right to silence until conferring with one's legal representative, yet, the Firearms Act demands that one, upon being subjected to a home inspection, must allow the investigating officer to have free access to all areas of one's domicile, with the potential of incriminating oneself by trying to be "helpful".
Be advised...Canadians, especially Ontarians...that no peace officer may inspect your firearms collection unless that person is deemed to be a firearms officer. No road patrol cop can inspect your stuff! Also, the deemed firearms officer must arrange with you a mutually agreeable time and date for such an inspection to take place.
Should a street cop show up at your door demanding to inspect your firearms, tell him as politely as you can to go to hell. Tell him to get a warrant. No sane JP will swear out such a search warrant. (Do we still have sane JPs?)
Having collector status does help!
Anyone reading this is most probably not of the Liberal persuasion, so perhaps I'm preaching to the converted.
Hey, it happened to Saul on his way to Damascus! (Acts Chap GNB, not KJ v, 9 Acts 22.6-16; 26.12-18).
Not a rant, just a hijacked thread advisory.
