I know someone already made a post about this, but CBC should really use the correct terminology.

It's not a weapon cache, it's firearms that's improperly stored. It's not type of explosive that use for purposes other than target shooting.

It's essentially negligent discharge, which yes, those people should be more careful because it could easily result in something worse.

I am sure some Liberals will jump on the photos with display of firearms and says those are not hunting rifles, well, they are sporting rifles.

It looks like three crates of ammo that are marked explosive for firefighters in case of an accident during transportation.

Don't they normally have that kind of stickers on ammo crate sometimes? I thought it's a common thing. Same with gas canister items.

Exactly this, it's not technically explosives, only for transportation regulations.

Man, so if I bought G96 in bulk and those cardboard boxes contain explosive sticker on it then it will be treated as explosives?

But I like smelling that stuff! It's like air freshener for firearms!

Any 1000 round box of 9mm, any flat of shotgun ammo...

Oh yeah, I have 20 boxes of those, lol.

I like to keep the packaging.
