I saw a company at TACCOM this weekend showing off their wooden transport/storage containers, so it looks like they will meet the legal requirements. Your weapon block has a rod that runs through all handguns and acts as a trigger lock. The company is Canatek Gun Works. I want to make a wooden cabinet that is locked and keep my firearms there without restriction without trigger lock. The only thing I find is “hard to penetrate,” so for me, the cheap pile on the closet is about as hard to break as a thick piece of wood, right? Does anyone have experience or knowledge about it? Thanks Kyle Edit: I ask because I might want to make and sell these cabinets as an alternative to stack on ugly cabinets. My father always locked his guns in a homemade wooden cabinet and never had any problems, although I also don`t think the police ever had a reason to come to our house, so. I am not giving you legal advice, but if I were in your situation, I would go ahead with your plan. It is a sealed container made of an ordinary material. Unfortunately, no one can give you a definitive answer because the law was made to convict as many people as possible.
Some of these sheets, I could probably break them with a small axe. Just hack to the point where the pen goes up, the lever, and then fold the bottom one. It will take a similar time to hack a wooden cabinet. If this ever becomes a legal battle, you can probably (don`t quote me) prove your point by hacking a can on video. That`s why I almost always trigger a lock on my NRs during transport. I know this isn`t a truncated, dried answer, but I don`t know if there are any real standards ever published for “not easy to break.” I had the impression that the container was considered difficult to drill if you needed a tool to enter. So, it doesn`t matter if you can saw a door or lift the lock freely, but if you can get into the panels or demolish the doors by hand, it may not be satisfactory. To get it right and shed light on the Prime Minister`s false statements, here are the requirements for the safe storage of rifles and handguns in Canada. Handguns (restricted firearms) have additional requirements for rifles (non-restricted firearms). (2) Every person commits an offence that violates an order under section 117(h) of the Firearms Act that relates to the storage, handling, transportation, shipping, display, advertising and mail order of firearms and restricted weapons. The Prime Minister`s letter deliberately gives that impression.

A cabinet does not count as a “container”. The law says container, so it must be a container. Now, if you were to build a small weapons room the same size as a cabinet and it had a heavy door, etc., that would probably be fine. ii] laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/Regulations/SOR-98-209/page-1.html#h-1019943 6 A person can only store a restricted firearm if there is no case law in this regard (not too familiar with how one of these charges was decided), you should trust the CFO to provide you with their assessment policy so that you can compare it to your plans, or have a way to prove that they are “traditional” storage solutions. Article 86(1) and (2) deals with the negligent use and storage of firearms. [iv] NOTE: At no time can a loaded firearm be “stored” in Canada. This is one of those cases that shows how shitty the law is.
The provision of the act, if I am not mistaken, is that a locked container that secures firearms cannot be “easily burglarized.” Who decides that? A judge. (3) Any person who commits an offence under subsection 1 or (2) is acceptable, so the definition would include two layers of drywall. My trigger clicks between shots. I may not be the fastest at 3gun, but damn, I`m not going to jail! I would say chic. However, if you really want to be safe, lock down the guns as well so that no one can complain. I asked a very similar question during my course on storing firearms in a locked closet. Most interior cabinet doors are like 1/8 inch particleboard and can be easily plugged in. I would get a legitimate safe or use trigger locks. Something in between might or might not be correct, and I don`t want to have to understand that. Let us not forget that the primary purpose of storage regulations is to prevent immediate and easy access to loaded firearms. It is not a question of preventing theft. For example, to protect guns from thieves for more than 20 minutes, it`s difficult, my instructor suggested that the law is so vague, as long as you have a decent lawyer, they would never get a conviction.
Or just don`t let your weapons be stolen and you never have to figure it out. I thought about doing it too, but there`s no way around the fact that it would take less than a minute to get in by attacking the lock or hinge. The cost of defending a royalty is MUCH higher than buying a locker. Someone else who has money to burn can pay to establish their competence.
