Sent a message and considering emailing the journalist personally. Read the title, read the article, look at the photo. This is the kind of garbage journalism that leaves uninformed Canadians supporting Gun Grab policies. Its not just the CBC.

They suspected the driver was impaired and made an arrest.

They didn't say where the gun was - I'm assuming it wasn't loaded or there would be other charges. So the gun is a bit of a nothingburger...although driving drunk with a gun and ammo does suggest that you're not making great decisions around guns and maybe shouldn't have a PAL.

Honestly I'm more impressed that the used a pic of the actual gun rather than the generic AK pic.
