We'd like to get some unrestricted firearms, probably hunting rifles. But, a member of our family has suffered depression before, and we want to keep them safe. Are there any ranges in southern Ontario that can store for you? Will our family member's health history prevent the rest of us from getting licenses? Thanks so much!

Your family member’s heath history has nothing to do with your ability to acquire a firearms license. You would however have a responsibility to ensure your firearms are not used for unintended purposes (i.e. to harm a person).

Lock them up in a safe or room and don’t give them the key or combination. It’s that simple.
