I'm just saying the news article is space because the OPP release is sparse. But everyone wants to constantly say the media has a bias. They shouldn't be making up stuff, should they?

Oh is that what you're saying now? Or was it an issue with my reading comprehension and what I clearly wrote in my earlier comment?
But everyone wants to constantly say the media has a bias.
One, did I write anything at all about that in this comment chain? Did I make any inferences at all? No I didn't. I asked for info regarding a vague news article and a vague opp release. It's almost like if there was more information at hand people in here wouldn't be grasping at straws.
Two, all media has bias, there's very little objective reporting in the current year. As a person on the Internet it's up to you and anyone engaging in the content to parse that.
They shouldn't be making up stuff, should they?
No shit Sherlock, but releasing half baked vague posting article is just as bad because people will jump the gun on stuff.
Again, my original comment STILL stands. I wish we had more information. That's all it is, not sure why that's so controversial.
The vague posting the media does is infuriating sometimes
You can write all the long paragraphs you want, but that sentence AFTER you were told the OPP put out that info says everything. Either way have a nice evening and a happy thanksgiving.
Curious what they were doing wrong. I go shooting at Tower Road occasionally by Mactier, the same spot where you’ve seen videos posted here of a group of Indian guys shooting in the air, and shooting at a wooden bridge. It’s a very well known spot, and plenty of safe areas to shoot - and the only signs posted are “No unsafe discharging of firearms.” Wondering when that spot will get shut down.
From the article:
The charges were related specifically to where they were shooting in relation to the hydro cut.
Maybe they were shooting in an area where the hydro company had a utility corridor, on maps I can see a transfer station at the end of the road, any signage that says something about it being restricted access?
The whole place from where u enter it's just power lines and marshlands with ATV roads there is big backstops but those goa cords the trail so idk if your allowed to shoot

You guys just make up stuff and the rest of y'all are like "that's right buddy". Also your comment is ridiculous since I'm theoretically defending the media, not the shooters in this situation. I know it's hard to use your brains when reading but just try once in a while.
We’ve seen an epidemic of trashy show-off videos of these “Surrey/Ontario/GTA men” recklessly shooting and almost hitting each other while having no trigger discipline. The article title alone makes the context obvious.
So the OPP says "Disobeying a notice" and then "familiarize themselves with the laws". I just searched and I can't find anything online regarding a notice for the area. So unless they were shooting right beside a sign that says no shooting, that's bullshit. Crownland atlas says good to go and your supposed to magically know there is some hidden provincial notice?
I think municipal bylaws could be an additional layer of regulation. But yes, I want to know what rules they broke more than anything.
It’ll be interesting to see if anything ultimately comes from this. Could just be urban Karens and Kens getting their noses out of joint. Same reason so many ranges have such restricted shooting hours.
and based on what the opp said about which part of the public lands act they charged them under (section 28-3) that can be found here: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90p43
hard to interpret what 'law' they were breaking with such vague information provided

From what I understand, this is tower road near mactier. Same place other "from the GTA" people got in trouble for shooting off a bridge. There seems to be a lot of complaints in the area to the point where the OPP patrol it now. Also, Georgian bay township did add a bylaw regarding not being able to discharge of firearms back in May.
I had a spot not far from it that was in the same township and because of these people and the new bylaws it screwed me. (Though I had no problem when I was there before I learned about them)
