How to Succeed at your First Mapleseed

[@maritimemarksman5808]

Great advice. A small cleaning kit might also be helpful. Toward the end of the day I saw a few people having malfunctions caused by crud build up after shooting a few hundred rounds.

Adriel this is great! Thankyou sir, GOOD STUFF!

I qualified with a bolt action cz 455. Certainly puts a time crunch on a person

[@wilfdarr]

I was going to ask how a 457 might work. Thanks.

Hey Adriel. I noticed you are filming from a "Gun Room". I have been contemplating building something similar in my basement. As a fellow Edmontonian I was wondering if you have a list of requirements that will render said "Gun Room" legal. Regards, Troy

I'm not Adrial, but here's my thoughts 😊 IIRC Adrial put a cinder block wall in his basement with a steel door and an electric pass code lock. The problem is the law just doesn't say what is required, it's really up to the prosecutor and your lawyer to convince the judge that you have, or have not, broken the law, if it ever comes to that. When people say things like "this is generally accepted to mean a steel door" etc, that is simply their opinion, what the police would like to see, but nothing more, it's not what is written in the law, or precedent from any prior case. There is one precedent setting case where someone put their gun in a locking filing cabinet and that was deemed insufficient, but as far as I know, no one has ever put the cheep Canadian tire gun safes before a judge: I'm fairly confident that, considering they are marketed and purchased for that purpose, the judge would have to find it reasonable for people to believe they are filling the requirements of the law, but maybe when that day comes the judge will disagree, there's just no way for any person, even a lawyer, to know! The law does not define it, nor does it set out any standards for strength. Are safes and vaults made of steel? Sure, sometimes. But they can also be made if lots of other materials, including concrete, or back in the old days, cast iron, so who's to say what materials constitute a vault? And I'll assume we are talking about restricted firearms, right? When talking about a gun room, the law says Restricted firearms must be "...(ii) stored in a vault, safe or room that has been specifically constructed or modified for the secure storage of restricted firearms and that is kept securely locked". That's literally all you (or even the best lawyer) has to go on. So you have to have done something to increase the security of the room beyond the bog standard children's bedroom or kitchen pantry, but it really doesn't say what! At any rate most people take that to mean something more significant than drywall for the walls, a steel door, and no windows, but I've also heard of everything from people installing steel mesh on the inside wall while some go all the way to steel reinforced concrete! At the end of the day I'm reminded of one case where burglars found a vault built in the basement, came back the following week with a chainsaw and just went through the floor down into the vault, cleaned it out, in and out in less than 10 minutes, so no matter how thick you build the walls, where there's a will...
