News / Politics / Activism Stand on Guard - Conservative Party of Canada

https://www.conservative.ca/stand-on-guard-2/

The bill makes important changes to Section 34 of the Criminal Code so that force is presumed to be justified if used against an illegal intruder. Conservatives first announced the ‘Stand on Guard’ principle back in August, asking the government to introduce legislation in the fall session.

Considering how you HAVE to store your firearms and ammunition, you'd likely be in an illegal position before you ever had a chance to use it.

Pure posturing and even if it did pass (won't happen), you would end up in court, presumed guilty, trying to fight for your innocence in an uphill battle without changes to storage laws already in place.

Ain't gonna happen, no way, no how. Pure posturing.

My firearms are in a biometric safe in my bedroom that takes less than 10 seconds to access, grab a magazine on the shelf in the safe, grab the firearm, load magazine and get it into battery... It can be done very quickly with practice, and it complies with all federal regulations and laws pertaining to safe storage.
