You can also forget a combination and lock yourself out of your own rifle ;)

The combo locks can malfunction though... So... I think it's being responsible more than anything.

@@heydaddy5326 Any mechanical device can malfunction.

@@heydaddy5326 I've never had a problem with combo trigger locks. Like most gun related accessories, it's all about personal preference. I was given advice long ago by a wise hunter, and I follow it. So far, it's worked well for me. To each their own, as long as it's safe.

Great idea :) Will definitely consider this.

My pleasure. Glad it was helpful.

I watched that video. Many people are commenting that the police can show up anytime, and I agree with you, that's not lawful. There was some kind of hidden regulation where if you are a collector with MANY firearms, they may try doing this, but that's still not legal. Without a warrant or reasonable grounds to believe you or someone near you is in danger, (as per our yellow/red flag laws) they cannot come into your home.

100% right brother.

Transportation of non-restricted firearms is much easier than storing them. Don't have to put lock on them as far as I know. Just don't keep then loaded and don't put at front seat. Keep on back seat covered or in trunk.

@@dansu3586you can technically even sling an unloaded rifle over your shoulder. That meets the bare minimum in terms of transport. Of course nobody should ever do that. But yes, out of sight, and if you have to leave them in the car they need to be in the trunk, and if the car has no trunk then it should be in the back of the cab and concealed by something to keep it out of sight and the vehicle must be locked.

Thanks for the kind words brother :) So, officially, to transport a non restricted firearm, it must be unloaded. That’s actually the only requirement. However, if you want to transport ammunition with your firearm, you can - however, the ammo must not be in the firearm. But it can be in the same locked container, and I do this all the time when going to the range :) If you leave it in your car, you can (like if you’re stepping away from it), but it must be in a locked trunk, or if in the car but not the trunk, out of view, and the car must be locked.

@@canadianoperator bro you cleared so many misconceptions. Can't thank you enough!

@@canadianoperator though the official site doesn't say anything about keeping the bullets out of the NR gun, so is it just an extra precaution you're suggesting on taking to avoid trouble, or is it actually the law? Also I don't see anything regarding locked cases too, the only rule mentioned for transporting is the firearm being unloaded. Are they just not stating the obvious or is really the ONLY rule and the rear are just precautions? And just wanna thank you bro, you're doing law abiding gun owners a HUGE favour 🙏

@@Drunkfistkid Not a problem :) No need for thanks, just binge watch my videos 😂🤪🙏

@@Drunkfistkid it’s complex. There’s a mix of legislation and regulation, that’s why it’s such a pain to understand it. Mostly it’s to do with the firearms act, 1995.

Which I believe I might have linked you earlier :) btw feel free to join our discord, it’s a lot easier having a conversation there ;)

Thank you very much and indeed you’re 💯% right. Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos. I really do appreciate it very much.

Thank you so much!! 🙏 Yes I love cable locks. They’re great.

my first gun was an sks and i got a cable lock to feed through the drop box. this felt unsafe to me and replaced with a trigger lock my next trip into town. they can be cut, i don't like that.

@@alaricbarber3680 I think it's also case by case. Although, I prefer cable locks, something I noticed with my Bullpup FD-12 is that the whole bolt mechanism can still slide 99% if not 100% forward when the cable lock is routed through the action and out the magazine well - making it ineffective. I've opted for a trigger lock on this specific SG as well.

Thank you brother :) Yeah perfectly fine to store your ammo with your gun, in a locked container, just that the gun of course has to be unloaded. Makes things more convenient for sure ;))

It really is pretty crazy. I feel that the law makers don’t really understand how things currently are. And the only reason they want to make things more strict is to invoke a public perception that they’re doing something about “public safety”. Except, we are not the safety risk here.

I'm aware. Thanks.

@@PocketfleetDS dry firing a Center fire is fine, the military do it all the time it’s the rim fire that can cause damage

That’s… not the requirement though. Taking out the bolt is a secondary way of storing a firearm if you can’t do it in the traditional way of having a firearm in a locked container. If you can do that there’s really no reason to remove the bolt, unless you’re displaying it.

I do find many of our laws kinda silly, and a bit redundant at times. However, I personally like to try to go a little above and beyond. Not because I feel like I'm expected to, but to have just one extra layer of safety, and also to be a good example to those who visit my home and may have apprehensions about firearm safety. Not to say I am trying to impress them, per se :P But, to show them the kind of things they won't see watching liberal media, and hopefully educate them a little regardless of their stance on firearms. :)

@@canadianoperator I get that, problem is that it becomes the norm and people like cops who should know better end up charging because they think it's law.

@@georgepsofimis1834 I feel you brother. I’ve had similar frustrations with people. That’s why I think it’s important to try to educate folks as much as possible.

Especially if it’s a point of contention and the government is trying to lie to you about it. :)

@@georgepsofimis1834sources? plz

I don’t give two shits about “going above and beyond,” either. My house, my property.

Trigger locks you mean? So, while I agree that it’s 100% safe on its own (such that you won’t have a ND or AD) I don’t think it’s 100% safe from people, because you can’t ever be 100% safe from people :) Consider if someone got their hands on it and put the bolt back in. They’d have a functional firearm. While the chances of that are quite low I’d still prefer not to take that chance personally. If I were to do that, I’d store the bolt in a separate, locked location. But my favourite way is using a cable lock through the action and magwell because not only are you stopping the action from working, but you’re also preventing magazines from even being inserted.

I don't have a bike. But if I did, then sure I would :) They're not meant to be a failsafe, like any other type of lock. Simply a deterrent or an inconvenience which might stall someone just long enough. Ultimately, if anyone wants to bypass any one of these locks, it's easy to do.

Lets be honest, the purpose of all the locks is to stop impulses, anyone can do anything if it's premeditated.

My pleasure :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

That is super above and beyond :) Good stuff! Thanks for watching :)

No worries.

Accurate.

That is not acceptable. The reason for that is it can be argued that the firearm is within easy access of ammunition. If you want to store the firearm with ammunition (but unloaded) it must be stored together in a locked container. If you keep a firearm unloaded but locked under your bed, it cannot be within easy access to ammunition.

@@canadianoperator thanks for the clarification!

@@panigALI1199sNo worries!

@@canadianoperator This is not correct. Runkle did a video on this while back. You can store a restricted firearm, if it is itself locked, in a locked container, together with ammunition or a loaded magazine, for as long as the magazine is not inserted into the firearm.

@@milanvrekic1209this is literally exactly what I said. Where did I say this is not ok? Also this video is about non restricted firearms. So I’m really not sure what you’re talking about here as you didn’t reference what you think is not correct.

Yes.

if your gunbag is soft and zippered this can easily be opened with a pen. I would not classify this as "locked". Hard case is different. That soft bag can be opped open in less than a second. Put a trigger lock on the gun in a soft bag.

@@panigALI1199s I understand you can get into a cloth bag with a knife or some scissors, I’m strictly wondering about the legality, thank you kindly

@@panigALI1199sAnything can be opened quickly given enough time and expertise. The cheap wafer locks on a hard case can be forced or picked in a mater of seconds. Or just broken. No lock is infallible. As long as either the action of the firearm or the container is locked, it’s enough to satisfy the requirement for storage.

Thank you! 🙏

So, "officially" RCMP states "remove the bolt", but doesn't state where to put it: www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/firearms/storing-transporting-and-displaying-firearms ideally the best thing to do would be to put it in a non-descript, inconspicuous place and as far away from the firearm as possible.

That said, I still prefer storing my firearms in a cabinet or safe.

@@canadianoperator Thank you!

Yep. It sucks. But despite that, God (and whatever other cosmic powers exist) help the guy who tries. :)

It’s rather simple to store legally yet access quickly and make ready in an emergency. Just takes money for the proper set-up and some creativity. I can access a legally stored unloaded pistol and ammo and make ready in under 5 seconds. Just takes practice and practice makes perfect.

@@zipzap4706Well said :)

The chances of that happening are so incredibly slim that unsafe storage is more dangerous.

@@ianrobertson3419Maybe but the reality is our country is going down the crapper and crime is getting worse. I have a wife and 4 young boys to protect, so I'd rather err on the side of caution.

You forgot "feel". It should be "I feel that guns scare me" 😎

Very nice! Share some photos with us on Discord!

Great. I have my cabinets in special locked room too.

For non restricted that would be fine, yeah :) I have a side saddle on mine and often put a few rounds there and the others in a box or ammo bag that sits inside the locked case with the shotgun. The important thing is ensuring your shotgun is unloaded and the case is locked. If you achieve that you can absolutely toss your ammo in with Your gun. Of course you could go above and beyond and put your ammo in a separate locked ammo container if you feel like being a little more cautious, but you don’t have to.

Cool. Wanted to make sure using the hard case’s latch locks were enough for gun & ammo storage.

@@mdarks4117 yeah any lock will do. Locked is locked when it comes to the law :P Though that would of course change with restricted where you’d also need a trigger lock in addition to being in a locked container.

For that I'd recommend contacting the Canadian Firearms Program directly. You can do so via their website or phone number (found on their website.) If I can generalize, the regulation states that the cabinet "must not be easily broken open or into". Beyond that if you have specific questions like "does it have to be bolted to the floor" - I would say no, but then again, I didn't write the regulation and you should probably be asking those very specific questions of the authority that regulates firearms.

There are some rifles that break down easily. Like for example, the Ruger PCC. They are made for the barrel to come off easily, and sometimes even attach to the stock to fit comfortably in whatever transportation solution you’ve got. That said, for a rifle that doesn’t have that option, I would never recommend removing the barrel every time you want to transport it. For one it’s way too much work and you’ll have to carry additional tools with you to do so. Secondly, the only time I’d want to change a barrel is if I’m upgrading. Otherwise I don’t touch the barrel whatsoever. You don’t want to cause any unnecessary wear to your firearm. And lastly this will ABSOLUTELY affect your accuracy. Less so if your scope is mounted forward of the breaking point between barrel and receiver. However, it will definitely affect accuracy and you very well may have to dial in your optic again. While it’s probably not going to cause issues putting a firearm in a guitar case for transport, you still need to ensure that you are following all federal laws when doing so. As for AirTags, yes I use them all the time. I own two drone systems and about 20k worth of camera equipment that I keep in a case. That case and each of my other bags (including my drones) each have an air tag. It’s useful in case they are stolen. But for me also useful when I’ve forgotten where in the house they are :) Hope that helps answer your questions.

@@canadianoperator Hey thanks a lot, appreciate your enduring that detailed list. I have options of course, I can carry a proper, locking gun case with a handle & most people wouldn't question that. I'm not talking about concealment per se, just taking it to my car & back inside type of thing. I'm still learning the laws - some of them are strange regarding where ammo can be stored if the gun is locked, where it can't go when the gun is operational & unlocked, what can go into a locked case, where it goes when you take it OUT of the case, etc. I do have a couple of questions about transport, but don't worry about it if you're short on time. Every answer I get inspires another question, so don't encourage the boy, lol! 1. If I wanted to drive from Nova Scotia to Ontario for a hunting course or just to go shooting with friends, as I understand it, it's legal to have a properly stored firearm (non-restricted, PAL license only) in my car trunk, and since the PAL is federal, I can transport my rifle between provinces with no issues. What about motels/hotels? If there's a secure parking lot or my car's just outside my motel room, is it lawful to leave my firearm in the car, or do I have to keep the firearm in the room? What if I only took the rifle in, but left the bolt & ammo in the car? 2. Are these scenarios legal? Always PROVE'ing he rifle before transport, of course. I understand "out of site & can't be loaded or fired" is the idea? a) Rifle bolt & ammo in a small, locked case made for storing ammo, inside a zipped backback, stored in my car out of sight or in the trunk. Rifle with bolt removed & breech-cable-locked, fully concealed in an unlocked case (like a guitar case, maybe padded nylon?), in the same trunk. b) Same scenario as above but the rifle's bolt is intact. Still breech cable-locked in a similar case. I'm not too cheap to get a proper hard-shell case, I'm just wondering how casual I can keep it. I'd rather people think it's a guitar, unless a LEO asks. Appreciate the help, thank you!

@@NunchucksHabit to get the answers to your questions, in short, I would consult the RCMP firearm program website as it details in summary how to store and transport non restricted firearms. If you need further clarification on specific laws, I’d highly recommend consulting a legal professional with experience in the firearms act. I believe I did link to some of those resources in the video description. Thanks :)

Look for rifles which have "take-down" feature or for shotgun. Many shotguns can be disassembled and assembled easy. As for airtags, some rifles with plastic stocks might have available space/compartments where airtag can be placed.

@@dansu3586 I did, and thank you. Learning a lot about takedown rifles, and you're right, lots of shotguns that fold/collapse. Sako S20 Hunter seems to be the best hunting rifle that has 'takedown' ability - it's got a great frame. I was thinking of putting a Samsung Tag2 in the mag since the mag snaps into the rifle without jutting out too far - or even putting a dummy round in the mag on top of the tag. I'll figure something out. Thank you!

You don’t have to use a locking device on a non restricted firearm that’s locked in a container. And you can store ammunition in the container with it so long as the firearm is unloaded.

@@canadianoperator What's the definition of unloaded? Can the magazines be loaded but not in the gun? (All within the locked bag, case or safe)

@@ps-gq5kmUnloaded, I’m paraphrasing here, means nothing in the chamber or (if a magazine is inserted) in the magazine, or anywhere else from which a cartridge can be discharged. So yes, loaded mags are okay. Even a loaded mag inside a storage area in the butt stock (like in the Ruger PCC) is still technically okay, because nothing can be discarded in that configuration.

Thank you

Not anymore. And most lawful gun owners in Canada know exactly what the legislation is. It’s part of our training.

Be that as it may, still doesn’t stop the police from laying a charge and letting the court straighten it out…

@@jamesready5No. it doesn’t work like that. Laying a charge involves so much more. They aren’t going to waste their time on Mickey Mouse bs like this unless it’s part of a much bigger and much more serious event that would constitute a search, arrest, or both. I’ve worked in our criminal justice system for several years and I have never seen a stand-alone charge alleging someone didn’t store a firearm properly. It just doesn’t happen unless its something discovered as part of a much bigger issue. Cops don’t have time for that here. You can order a pizza from the other side of the city that would get to you faster than a police officer. The only likely exception is a serious violent crime. Besides that, they can’t be bothered.

Understand your gun rights and you'll be fine !! Why the police would end up at your door would not be for a PAL Safe Storage Check !! @@jamesready5

That's GREAT to hear! It varies, but it can be as little as 4-6 months, or more. It also depends on what you count as "the process" whether that's everything, or just from the time you apply. You'll need to get your course done (CFSC) and pass with 80% or above in both practical and written, then wait a few weeks for your course materials to come proving you passed it. You then mail that and your completed app to RCMP (or you can now do it online) and there's a mandatory month long waiting period for your first license. Beyond that it depends how busy they are. And that can take anywhere from a couple months to several. I hope this helps :)

@@canadianoperator great thank you any advice for what would be a good first gun

@@daddysage4145 oooof that is a loaded question haha. Any gun is just as good as the other but it depends on a lot. Join our Discord and we’ll talk about it. Might be a very long answer here otherwise. :)

​​@@daddysage4145hey, I just got my PAL, and it didn't take more than 6 weeks. If it's your first time applying for your PAL, it's all done online now as opposed to the old paper way. Impossible to screw it up. It's easy. I applied for my PAL on 9/11 and received it in the mail around Halloween. Go get it! As for first gun....I ended up buying 4 guns on my first trip to.the store lol but I would suggest a .22lr caliber to get you started/familiar with guns in general, then when you inevitably get the itch, buy one of each category. Pump shotgun, semi auto rifle, bolt action rifle, etc.

I applied for my PAL right after I turned 18 one year ago, it took 8 months for me to finally receive the license.

That depends on whether it is physically able to chamber a round (a shell in this case) and fire it. If it still can, then it wouldn't be considered inop. So to be safe, you can do one of the following: Store it in a safe, and then it doesn't matter because it's in a locked container. Store it anywhere in your home (even under your pillow) but put a locking device like a trigger or cable lock through the trigged guard or action, respectively. Store it the same way as before, but this time remove the bolt. I'm not sure of the context behind the question, but I hope this helps.

It MUST be unloaded. Just because the tubular magazine on a shotgun is not detachable, it doesn’t make it any different than having a loaded detachable magazine in a rifle. If it’s a non restricted shotgun, it’s fine without a trigger lock if it’s inside a safe, vault, cabinet or locker as long as that storage is not easily broken open or into. You may be able to get away with a side saddle, because part of the definition of “loaded” is that a cartridge can be chambered. They cannot be chambered from a side saddle, but I’d still advise against storing ammunition and firearms in the same place (even though it’s technically legal). I understand why you asked the question, and I empathize with you with respect to self defence. But this is the way our laws are.

@@MrLew1965 conservatives had the same safe storage laws

If shotgun stored in the safe then it should be not loaded and trigger lock is not needed. Btw, it takes only few seconds to load few shells in

Yes, if they are unlicensed. The idea would be the same if they are able to open a combination lock sealing a gun inside a gun bag. Unlicensed people should not have access to firearms, access in this case meaning having access to a firearm they can use. In the case of a locked gun bag or cabinet, they don’t have access to it unless they can open the look legitimately.

You will be arrested as well for careless storage. They key is - not to allow police inside. Only CFO can check how you store you guns. And he is to busy to go to your home.

@@dansu3586I’ll take that as a compliment 😂🙏

They don’t need to be locked, but they need to not be within easy access of firearms. They can be locked in the same container as a firearm, but not loaded in the firearm. Or they can be stored elsewhere, away from firearms.

I actually prefer cable locks these days and I use the usual ones available at most gun shops. Forgot the name now but they’re available for about $10-$15.

Cable lock. No real option with an X 95.

@@lib556 Not with the stock grip at least ;)

You can do that, but it wouldn’t really make any sense as a pertains to the law, because anybody who had access to the gun would also have access to the bolt. This only works, in a legal capacity, if you store the bolt elsewhere in a locked container or store the firearm in a locked container, so that the two cannot be combined.

@@canadianoperator appreciate the answer. i forgot to say the bolt removed and placed in the gun case with the gun, while the case is locked with a locking device. if it's legal to do so

@@FBI-ht4wy no problem. The minimum for a non-restricted firearm is that if you have ammunition in the case, the case needs to be locked. If you don’t have ammunition in the case, then the case can be locked or instead, you can put a locking device on the firearm itself. Removing the bolt is extra and not necessary. I only remove the bolt in my bolt guns because I don’t want to put too much pressure on the top half of the case when closed.

​@@FBI-ht4wyit is legal. But you don't have to remove the bolt if rifle is in locked bag already.

Inside of a locked case. Or get an extra long cable lock.

@@canadianoperator it ok to use / lock it inside a soft padded case?

@@herphermits the regulation states it must be locked in a container that’s not easily broken into, so as long as you have a way of locking it that meets the regulation, you should be fine. I’ve done this with my Tavor when I still used the soft case that came with it for transport and storage (before I had my safe). The zippers had metal loops for a lock, and that’s what I used. Perfectly fine.

You’re right about not letting police in. But on this channel we don’t focus on the rules at any of the hundreds of ranges out there. We focus on the law. And having loaded magazines in the same locked container as a firearm is perfectly legal. If that’s not ok at a range, they are a private business and can set whatever rules they want. As far as the law is concerned though, it doesn’t care about rules. It cares about legislation and regulation.

Ammo in magazines is perfectly fine in a safe, even if the firearms are in the safe too. But they cannot be loaded into the firearm from where they can be discharged, or be in a part of the gun where they can be loaded into the chamber.

It’s unfortunate that Canada has such a tyrannical government. I store my firearms all over. In safes…in nightstands drawer, in vehicles. Where I might need them I could easily get to them. (No children in the house). But an unloaded firearm is like a soft rock. Fortunately for us we can use firearms for personal protection and prevent things like home invasions.

@@x3dominator28Indeed our government needs to change. And while I’m absolutely for self defence as a use for firearms, I don’t think they should be stored loaded or outside of a safe. Not sure about you, but for me I can get to my shotgun within seconds and load it in a few more. But I know that nobody can use that firearm against me because it’s properly stored. There’s a lot of potential for negligent discharge or other things to go wrong.

​@@x3dominator28you mean in USA?

First of all, they're firearms, not weapons. Secondly, read the RCMP website. You can keep a restricted firearm in a container, case or cabinet as long as it has a secure locking device. If it's in a vault, safe or locked room adapted for the purpose of storing firearms, it doesn't need a secure locking device. In both cases it's fine to store ammunition in the same locked environment as the firearm without having to lock it up separately, especially not in its own safe.

Yep. I do this often when getting ready for a range day. As long as the firearm is unloaded, ammunition can be stored in the same locked container/cabinet and there is no specificity about it having to be outside of a magazine. This is the same for both storage and transport. Though for storage usually I store them separately.

@@canadianoperator Thank you. Someone told me the amo must not be "easily accessable " which means it can't be in rhe same case and magazine not loaded...

@@dsmtsi easily accessible meaning not locked up. For example, on a shelf, in a closet, etc. If it’s locked up separately, or locked in a room, cabinet or receptacle that cannot be easily broken open or into, or a room, vault or safe adapter or designed specifically for the safe storage of firearms, it can be in the same place as the firearm provided the firearm is not loaded.

Why would you need to lock up a steak at a vegan convention? :P They wouldn’t want it… they’re vegan :o 🤔

No, they'd need a warrant for that. However I have heard stories of there being checks on people who own many guns (I mean, THOUSANDS of guns) where they'd come and just ask you for permission to have a look. Again, you could say no, and they could get a warrant. But the majority of people probably wouldn't have issue especially when they're not breaking the law. There is also the matter of our red and yellow flag laws. In that case they would not need a warrant, and they could come and check at their discretion to alleviate any suspicion of wrong doing based on a complaint received. I hope this helps, but for a much better explanation I'd recommend a criminal law lawyer :)

@@canadianoperator okay makes sense, will look more into/ thanks again! Blessings

@@Flakkawrld No worries! If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Actually they do not need a warrant but they do need to make the visit at an agreeable time.

First of all, it's not a weapon. It's a firearm. And to answer your question, everything I do is to educate, illustrate or show a point that I am making.

Funny how? Like I talk funny? Like my English ain’t so good? Funny like a clown? Like I’m here to entertain you?! What’s so fucking funny about ME? Ok I AM here to entertain you. But funny how?

"Technically" is the BEST kind of correct ;)

@@canadianoperator Finally, somebody said it.. :P

@@Strato50😂👍🏻

They’d probably make it more strict and blame us for it.

Same way insurance will still charge us when cars all drive themselves.

Hehe, yes. And good muzzle discipline.

I’m always happy to take constructive criticism. But not from butthurt keyboard warriors throwing a tantrum like a child. Thanks though.

You watched this whole video and went to the comments to say that? How about instead of displaying how childish you are, you skip the video or block @canadianoperator all together. The man took his time to explain IN DETAILS safe ways to store unrestricted firearms and you throwing a tantrum about his hands and shades??? FFS get tf off the channel. Thanks for the video Canadianoperator

​@@canadianoperatorwe want to see how trigger lock works 😎

​@@olivercargill9067😎

lol honestly I don’t care if they can be picked. Most of them are made of cheap metals and plastics and have locks that even an amateur lock picker can probably defeat. But that’s not the point. The point is the law says they need to be on a gun when storing (and for restricted guns, transporting) them, and that’s what we do. We don’t stop before buying a trigger lock and ask the shop owner “bro how lock proof is this?” 😂 And yeah. I’ve seen that dude. He destroys everything he touches and he can probably do it blindfolded. Pretty entertaining.

@@canadianoperator 100%, same as your vehicle, bicycle and amazon parcels. Criminals' are called :"criminals" for a reason....locks are for honest folks.

Who’s that? 👀

I understand the point you are trying to make. However this video is not to try to convince Americans to keep their guns unloaded in a safe. Rather, it’s to educate Canadians (and others) about storage legislation that must be followed in Canada. Everyone has a certain risk they’d be willing to take, and consequences to accept. This isn’t to say what each person’s level of risk and consequences should be, either. That ultimately is up to you. But as an educator, I can’t go around saying that everyone should be sleeping with a loaded shotgun under their pillow - because that’s against the law. It’s kind of how you learn to drive, and you are taught to stop at a stop sign. If you don’t fully stop, you won’t get your license. You also know that you SHOULD stop at stop signs, because that’s the law and that’s what you’ve been taught. Yet, many people, given the situation, may not always come to a full stop. That is something that happens regularly. As a human, you asses risk, reward and consequence many times a day. It’s not my job to tell you what that should be, specifically for you. My job is to teach you about a standard. Adhering to that standard is up to you. :)

Canadian law doesnt allow you to use guns in self defense. The government expects you to roll over and let the criminal have his way with you like a good serf.

@@devinhallsworth5531 it’s not that it’s not allowed. It’s that it’s extremely against the favour of the person defending themselves with a firearm because they have to prove that it was appropriate and not excessive use of force. This is almost impossible though, so if you choose to do so and you can’t justify or articulate your use of force, and it’s found to be excessive by a jury, it’s very likely you’re going to jail, or most likely, prison.

@@devinhallsworth5531 That needs to be fixed ASAP .

That made absolutely no sense but thanks for commenting!
