Episode 95
March 23rd, 2012

On this week’s show, a pellet gun and a toy gun make the news, the government starts messing with our ammo storage regs, Trevor blows up his gun and as usual, we get lots of listener feedback to share.



TPF-Online, on behalf of the CSSA, is offering up some prizes for CRR's 100th Episode.

A Hornady L-N-L Case Prep Assistant and a Gerber Compact Sport 400 Multi-tool will be raffled off at $5 per ticket or $10 for three.

Special thanks to Mike Duynhoven (aka Jarlath on CGN) for making this possible!

NRCan update:
The government, through Natural Resources Canada, is making an end run on gun owners by means of the updated explosives act.

We all should be contacting NRCan and expressing our displeasure at the fact that apparently, we now not only have to lock up our ammunition, but also have to secure it in a way to prevent it from being stolen. Restricting access isn’t enough anymore, it now has to be so secure that it can’t be stolen. This is certainly unacceptable from a hunting/sporting standpoint, as it’s not practical or necessary when stored safely in your home.
