“Mounties say arriving at a detachment with unsecured or unregistered firearms is a criminal offence, even if the intent is to follow the rules.”

Look on the bright side; this looks like malicious compliance from the RCMP, in line with every other police service in Canada refusing to lift a finger.

The SCC has also agreed to hear the CCFR appeal.
