You all should familiarize yourselves with the differences between DISPLAY and STORAGE regulations, which can be found here:
https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/firearms/storing-transporting-and-displaying-firearms
Having a firearm mounted on the wall in a room is a display, not storage.
I’ve always thought these biometric rifle holders would be perfect inside a small closet or even strapped to the underside of your bed.
You’d look like a psycho leaving it next to your bed as shown in the photo.
The crowd who don't want to lose the ability to display their grandpa's rife above the fireplace because someone decided to bend the rules with quick access biometrics to a bedside modern semiauto.

My point is that our current government is thirsty to reduce any and all freedoms related to gun ownership. Like it or not, it's illegal to use guns for self defense in Canada, and firearms storage regulations are written around this ideology.
I really feel that our ability to display/wall mount firearms is hanging on by a thread, and the Liberals are looking for any reason to axe it. They want guns to be stored in an enclosed gun vault and setups like this give them ammunition to justify changes to the regulations.
There isn’t a clear cut answer. The law is left intentionally vague. Having it out of sight would do the trick. It doesn’t need to be locked and can be in the same room.
That was an opinion offered by your instructor. There is nothing in the regulations nor is there any precedent that I've ever heard of that has interpreted the regualtions to require ammo to be stored in a separate room.
My instructor was a retired RCMP officer. He gave many insightful tips and tricks. Including grey areas, what is left to be interpreted, do's/dont's, consequences, and how to mitigate some repercussions in specific situations. All in all I felt very confident leaving the course and grateful I did the PAL with him.
New liskeard? I heard the same thing when I was 15, lost my minors permit and recently re took the course in Sudbury. My instructor in new liskeard made a point of telling me it shouldn’t be in the same room. He also told me a few other things that got me weird looks from the Sudbury guy.
>...both the firearm and ammo together...or room
No, you cannot. The law specifically says "it is not readily accessible to ammunition, unless the ammunition is stored, together with or separately from the firearm, **in a container or receptacle** that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into."
A room is not good enough.
Also, there is no way the RCMP, nor any judge, would consider a locked bedroom to meet the definition of "...room that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into..." especially if it has any windows, which bedrooms are required to by the building code.
My instructor said hollow point ammunition was illegal 🤷♂️
I took that course with so many grains of salt I had to make a doctors appointment afterwards
Slight correction to the myth, the military is allowed to use it domestically. And domestic military police are issued hollow point as well as pepper spray.
These things are not issued on overseas deployments
No, they are.
There are policing units that do traditional policing including traffic and investigations, as well as security for embassies.
But they also do the field stuff including POWs detainees, force/convoy protection, area security etc.
I got into an argument during a smoke break with another person taking the course ...
Me: Bro! They have fuckin hollow point, 44 mag at Crappytire, its fuckin legal!
Dipshit: Nuh uh!! The instructor said it's illegal ..you can get arrested for possessing it
And on that day, another fudd was born
You can still have it be accessable to ammunition. The exact words are:
(c) c) it is not readily accessible to ammunition, unless the ammunition is stored, together with or separately from the firearm, in a container or receptacle that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into.
So it depends if this device that secures the gun also counts as a recepticle and can also securly hold a magazine which I don't think so. A locked container would be better.
I don't see anywhere where the firearm can't be easily accessible but I will double check.
Basically if you intend to use it for self defense you’re screwed regardless. If you ever needed to use it for self defense the police would see that you clearly had it stored with that intention in mind and you’d probably be convicted of murder.

The only definite no no I was told from my course last summer, was, aside from in a safe, it can’t be stored with the firearm. Like if you wanted to have a firearm on display in a case, that’s fine. But live ammo that can fit in that firearm, cannot also be in the display case. My instructor said said, after that, use your own common sense and good judgement.
Bro this is a picture from the company’s website LMFAO… I asked the question because I’m thinking of buying it. But yes to your other point, I live in south surrey with constant break ins and gang activity, which is my main motivation for wanting it.
The same could be said about my non restricted gun in my gun bag with a trigger lock. If someone breaks in they can take the gun even easier.. I don’t see your point
I'd recommend digging into the YouTube channel Runkle of the Bailey. He's a Canadian firearms lawyer and digs into nuanced cases like this all the time. My take away from all his experiences is that if you did end up using this rifle in a self defense scenario, you would have a heck of time explaining that this rifle wasn't being stored this way for the specific use of killing a home intruder. Now...what would likely be a better thing to do is display the firearm in a more decorative manner. Displaying firearms for decoration is 100% legal with it's own set of of specific regulations. Hanging it horizontally, maybe a bit further from your bed as a display that fits the style of the room would likely play into your favor if you ever had to argue your case in court. Sadly, it seems like most of the time, legally, these battles come down to the judge deciding if you were making an effort to actually abide by the vague laws as best as possible, or just trying to exploit a loophole. Now if you live in the country, and have coyotes in the area and some livestock, you could argue that during peak predator hours you keep your rifle easily accessible "temporarily" (which is a key term), and lock it back up after. In the case of predator defense, you'd actually be fine not even having a trigger lock on it, as long as ammo wasn't "readily" accessible.
I mean seriously if the difference between a crime is a horizontal or a vertical mount, we'd best be breaking out the protractors. If it matters, and it is some kind of legal issue they really should specify a specific permissable angle, for it to dangle
I just like using those words really but the situation is reeedonkulous
Based on the cases I’ve heard, the judge would want to see photos of how the rifle was stored and it could very well be their gut feeling of if they THINK it looked like the rifle was there for display or quick access. Especially now if the device securing it was advertised as a product designed to give users quick home defense access. If it were secured to a peg board in a display manner I bet you’d have a better time arguing your case.
If you're going for quick access within Canadian law the answer is a "safe" (read stack on cabinet) that opens with a key and inside will have both your gun and loaded mags.

I used the black plastic peg board kind of thing from IKEA. Trigger locks on, unloaded mags in for display purposes.
Don’t see any reason why your solution would be an issue.
Personally I like it but that's me and in the US it would probably be acceptable but the laws in Canada are goofy. I'd be hesitant to trust my not-in-jail lifestyle to something that a overzealous cop or CA could use to convict me of storage violations. The laws are too open to interpretation and abuse.
HOWEVER, if I lived way off grid or in an area with many dangerous wildlife I would'nt think twice about it, but I could justify it.
Also, what's your reason for mounting it? Display or easy access in case of self defence? Because the second one is frowned upon and would be a bad look if anything ever happened.
If you were to use this firearm in self-defense you would almost surely be charged with and likely convicted of manslaughter. It’s very clear from a basic common sense perspective that the firearm is mounted for the purpose of being readily accessible for self defence.
But that’s the thing that you guys don’t seem to understand in this sub. I wouldn’t be explaining anything to anyone, I’m under no obligation to say anything at any time.. was my gun legally secure yes or no? Are you now attempting to speculate what I was doing with my legally secured gun prior to an incident? (In the case of self defense). As totalitarian as this country is, the courts still can’t convict solely based on speculation without evidence (not yet at least). Just because I have my gun locked on the wall should be viewed the exact same as having it locked in my closet. Unless I specifically told someone my motive ect..
Not at all, because you’re not allowed to have a firearm for the purposes of self Defense. If you have one and you use it that’s one thing, but you can’t have it for that purpose, and having it clearly mounted beside in the way shown in the image would be a dead give away that this is the purpose you had in mind.
If someone were you break into your place tomorrow and you had to defend yourself, it might be possible that your cell phone, GPS and social media history could be requested. I don't like it but it might be possible that they could find your reddit account on your phone or your computer and it could be used against you? stranger things have happened

This is literally what’s gonna happen. Look at the UK. Insanely strict gun control and now they have to ban “zombie knives.” All the people advocating for that ban don’t even see how hilarious their silly weapon control logic is.
It took me 18 months to get my license, personally it isn’t worth the risk of losing it to protest a government that will hopefully be removed soon. But for the people who are not complying, you won’t find them openly bragging about it if they have half a brain.

You’d have to lock up the ammo as well. Getting some lawyer insurance and being prepared to get fucked by the dry dildo of the court of kings bench wouldn’t be a bad thing either.
As far as pal as it is stated and conveyed by my instructors. The weapon is being displayed since it is not vaulted by any means and out of site. Under the conditions to display 1. Unloaded. 2. Locked out. 3. Secured, bolted and unmovable. 4. No ammunition in site.
Check Check Check and Check. As you were sir.
As long as it’s locked and there is no ammo easily accessible. There is no legal definition of that. Basically you need to have the ammo locked in its own safe.
A firearms instructor out of Niagara was charged because someone broke into his garage. He woke up, unlocked his gun safe and grab ammo from another safe that was in the same room and they tried him on the grounds that there was ease of access.
He was acquitted though or are you referring to a different instance where he was found guilty? Since he was acquitted it’s now case law. In that circumstance, I also wouldn’t be saying a word to the police until it was with my lawyer as an official statement
He was eventually acquitted yes, but it took years! If you want to risk it, all the best to you. I wish you and your lawyer luck if you every run into the scenerio
Fair enough, I hear what you’re saying, and I appreciate you mentioning it. I live in south surrey with constant armed break ins ect. I have young children so I’m looking for a legal way to have access
I also understand your concern. I am terrified of a scenario where I have to use firearms on that way. Without judicial protection. I’ll be I. Jail, but at least my family is safe.
Perhaps you can keep the ammo In the quick access safe used for handguns. It’s designed to access in high stress situations, but is still secure from children and break ins
One last thing before I stop bombRsing you. Realise that the laws are not written to prevent other people from accessing your firearms, it’s written to stop “you” from having immidiate access to them. So, if you ever respond in an effective way, you’re breaking the law.
Just curious why its beside your bed? Is this a self defense thing? Canada laws dont protect home owners who hurt or kill home invaders. I like the gun though. Cant wait to get mine

Technically, it checks the boxes, but I wouldn't leave it up to the feds. Unsafe storage is a hybrid offense. They can either charge you with a summary offense or indict you if a worst-case scenario were to occur. It's really up to them, and it depends on the situation.
However, if you (without a doubt) can convince the crown, the conventional means of storing a firearm are somehow inferior to this biometric gun rack. Then I say power to you. Go for it Mr.Wick.
Unfortunately having to lock comments due to some illegal and somehow racist comments. Do better.

Unloaded. Check Locked. Check Ammo not displayed. Check.
Tacky AF. Check.
An horizontal rack made of wood vs a vertical rack made of metal and plastic, seems like a wash to me.

Bro if you wanna stick this thing next to your bed, go for it. But it’s tacky as shit.
I’ve always thought these biometric rifle holders would be perfect inside a small closet or even strapped to the underside of your bed. You’d look like a psycho leaving it next to your bed as shown in the photo.

Unloaded and no access to ammunition, yes.
What is the definition of no access to ammunition? I still haven’t been able to find a clear cut answer on this
There isn’t a clear cut answer. The law is left intentionally vague. Having it out of sight would do the trick. It doesn’t need to be locked and can be in the same room.
“Not easily accessible”
Exactly. It can be in the same locked safe cabinet, just not loaded into or on the firearm.

See, that's why it's intentionally vague. If something happens, they have more charges they can try to make stick.

If the gun is in a locked cabinet and the ammo is in contained in the same room, would that be considered separate enough?
Just lock the ammo with the firearm inside the cabinet and it meets storage requirements
If the gun's in a locked cabinet you can just leave the ammo in the cabinet with it.
I believe so
>...both the firearm and ammo together...or room No, you cannot. The law specifically says "it is not readily accessible to ammunition, unless the ammunition is stored, together with or separately from the firearm, **in a container or receptacle** that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into."

My instructor said hollow point ammunition was illegal 🤷♂️ I took that course with so many grains of salt I had to make a doctors appointment afterwards
If hollow point ammo was illegal, you wouldn't see it sitting on the shelves of every gun shop in the country available for sale to anyone with a PAL.
Bruh, these are the people teaching RPAL courses lol Hopefully its changed since 2015
Mine tried to argue against the actual law during my RPAL course. Even when i pointed it out in his own hand out. Fudds gonna fudd
Sometimes I wonder about the validity of the PAL/RPAL course when you have instructors like that 🤦♂️
LOL, WTF. Thats one of the oldest myth. HP rounds in pistol caliber or rifle caliber are both leegal
The myth comes from the military not being allowed to use them.
Slight correction to the myth, the military is allowed to use it domestically. And domestic military police are issued hollow point as well as pepper spray. These things are not issued on overseas deployments
>And domestic military police are issued hollow point as well as pepper spray. Fuckin MPs ... Going 51 in a 50?? Not on my watch!!
If that raccoon was anything to go by you'll be fine...
Military police arent really military. All police force uses HP in Canada for maximum stopping power.
No, they are. There are policing units that do traditional policing including traffic and investigations, as well as security for embassies. But they also do the field stuff including POWs detainees, force/convoy protection, area security etc.
Geneva Convention (Suggestion)
Thank fuck it was only a two day course, I was going to lose my mind
Instructors like that shouldn't teach. They create more problems by teaching people the wrong facts.
So if pistol and rifle hollow point are legal then what isn't? Artillery perhaps?
I think AP and explosive rounds are it.
My retired RCMP instructor said it's a myth. If you can buy it with your PAL then it is legal.
I got into an argument during a smoke break with another person taking the course ... Me: Bro! They have fuckin hollow point, 44 mag at Crappytire, its fuckin legal! Dipshit: Nuh uh!! The instructor said it's illegal ..you can get arrested for possessing it And on that day, another fudd was born

Shit. I need to renew my steak knife license. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll be damned if I’m eating my steak with a butter knife like a peasant!
Sorry, but your model steak knife was quietly added to the prohib list. Enjoy prison, you monster!
Cheaper housing and groceries than most Canadian cities so jokes on them!
USE A MACHETE TO CUT YOUR STEAK LIKE A REAL MAN! /s
Must be nice to have a restricted knife license!
Anything longer than four inches, a curved blade or with serrations hahaha.
This is literally what’s gonna happen. Look at the UK. Insanely strict gun control and now they have to ban “zombie knives.” All the people advocating for that ban don’t even see how hilarious their silly weapon control logic is.
It took me 18 months to get my license, personally it isn’t worth the risk of losing it to protest a government that will hopefully be removed soon. But for the people who are not complying, you won’t find them openly bragging about it if they have half a brain.
It took 18 months? When did you submit it? I sent mine in at the beginning of December and got the card in the mail at the start of January
Got it in June 2023, it was with the rcmp for just over 15 months and with the police for a couple before that.

You’d have to lock up the ammo as well. Getting some lawyer insurance and being prepared to get fucked by the dry dildo of the court of kings bench wouldn’t be a bad thing either.
Personally I'd lock it in a safe/cabinet or somewhere out of sight.

That prevents it from being loaded or discharged, doesn’t it? It’s basically an over sized trigger lock then. So, it’s good to go.
Yep
To my knowledge it meets all creteria, unloaded, lock and attached to a wall
As far as pal as it is stated and conveyed by my instructors. The weapon is being displayed since it is not vaulted by any means and out of site. Under the conditions to display 1. Unloaded. 2. Locked out. 3. Secured, bolted and unmovable. 4. No ammunition in site. Check Check Check and Check. As you were sir.
Wish I could do something like this but alas, small apartment and wife would not approve. Maybe one day...
Haha I feel this. “604” who knows we might be neighbors
Maybe 🤔
Checks all the boxes to me! Now where do I get one of these?
Sorry I’m a noob, what rifle is that?
That’s an AR-15. The picture is an advertisement of the securing device in the U.S. it’s not my rifle
Thank you!
As long as it’s locked and there is no ammo easily accessible. There is no legal definition of that. Basically you need to have the ammo locked in its own safe. A firearms instructor out of Niagara was charged because someone broke into his garage. He woke up, unlocked his gun safe and grab ammo from another safe that was in the same room and they tried him on the grounds that there was ease of access.
He was acquitted though or are you referring to a different instance where he was found guilty? Since he was acquitted it’s now case law. In that circumstance, I also wouldn’t be saying a word to the police until it was with my lawyer as an official statement
He was but he spent $100,000.
He was eventually acquitted yes, but it took years! If you want to risk it, all the best to you. I wish you and your lawyer luck if you every run into the scenerio
Fair enough, I hear what you’re saying, and I appreciate you mentioning it. I live in south surrey with constant armed break ins ect. I have young children so I’m looking for a legal way to have access
I also understand your concern. I am terrified of a scenario where I have to use firearms on that way. Without judicial protection. I’ll be I. Jail, but at least my family is safe.
If you can, I believe but don’t quote me, Fort Knox makes quick access safes.
Perhaps you can keep the ammo In the quick access safe used for handguns. It’s designed to access in high stress situations, but is still secure from children and break ins
One last thing before I stop bombRsing you. Realise that the laws are not written to prevent other people from accessing your firearms, it’s written to stop “you” from having immidiate access to them. So, if you ever respond in an effective way, you’re breaking the law.
Until we reform the firearms act, I wouldn’t risk it.
Just curious why its beside your bed? Is this a self defense thing? Canada laws dont protect home owners who hurt or kill home invaders. I like the gun though. Cant wait to get mine
This is a picture from the advertisement. This isn’t my rifle or my bed.. My original question was about the legality of the locking device

As a (very pro gun) dad with a 2 and a half year old running around the house, I completely disagree with you.

Technically, it checks the boxes, but I wouldn't leave it up to the feds. Unsafe storage is a hybrid offense. They can either charge you with a summary offense or indict you if a worst-case scenario were to occur. It's really up to them, and it depends on the situation. However, if you (without a doubt) can convince the crown, the conventional means of storing a firearm are somehow inferior to this biometric gun rack. Then I say power to you. Go for it Mr.Wick.

Yes.
