Live here in rural SW Ont,
Can I keep a small cal. non restricted firearm ready, not loaded, un locked?? Not on the kitchen table, but safely stored out of sight?
Buddy and I disagree, he say's no way, I say yes , I'm relying on gun reg's, the way I read them?
Reg.
storage, display, and transport, non restricted
paragraph 5-2
Anyone have any thought's here
 
I think it has to be locked up. Not just a trigger lock either. Regs are very confusing so I could be wrong. Call the mnr to be sure
 
has to be locked with either trigger lock, or in a gun case with a lock or in a vault took the course couple weeks ago
 
Yes, that is what my argument with my buddy stemmed from. It's no big deal, but there have been more than a few times, especially this time of yr, coyotes are to close. I keep a large outdoor dog, but he is contained by a electronic collar, un-believable how they know his boundaries. He has a distinctive bark that lets you know they're around, but by the time I get a gun out of the safe, find the key for trigger lock, un-lock the ammo, they've headed around the barn.
I'm aware of the protection of property clause, and I do fit the criteria described in it, just don't want any hassle, so my gun's stay locked. I have looked into the storage and transport of fire arms reg's in the past, there's alot of info available, from the government, to lawyers, to firearms groups. Some real horror stories as well, of good people who thought they were following the reg's, only to end up in court and spending ton's to clear their name and get their gun's back. Problem is firearm owner's, police, mnr and judges all interpret the reg's differently.

you got that right
 
Legally yes if you are rural you can have a firearm sat by the door for pest control but it can not be loaded.

As far as storage is concerned legally all that is required for a non restricted gun is a trigger lock. You can display your guns on a rack with trigger locks. Ammunition can not be stored with the gun unless the gun and the ammo is in a locked in a container.

Not restricted guns with internal magazines can not be loaded. Nor the magazine. Non restricted guns with external magazines can be full and ready to go.

Restricted guns can be locked in a container with a full magazine sitting right beside it as the magazine is not attached to the gun.


Thank the liberals they wrote the bs laws.
