Call 1-800-731-4000 and listen for the prompt that brings you to the Public Safety extension.  |
Good advice, the sooner we lock up the crazies and KEEP them locked up the better off we all will be. Domestic violence is a serious issue and I hope a physical search for weapons is made every time police are called to a dispute. I say physical because, of course, unregistered guns won't show up on the computer. Police in Canada now routinely ask women whether they have any opposition to their ex-spouse renewing their F.A.C. (I believe y'all call it a P.A.L. now). I was dismayed to hear of this requirement after my divorce because ESoS (Evil Spawn of Satan), otherwise known as my ex-wife revelled in the glory of creating grief for me. Fortunately, I was very well known both to the Firearm's Community and RCMP in Langley and after warnings about uttering false statements, ESoS admitted she had no REAL opposition to renewing of my FAC/PAL.
However, I can already hear the harrumphing of Liberal politicians in Ottawa as they queue for the mike on the floor of the House of Commons to decry the lax gun laws in Canada which allow such tragedies as the one in Cranbrook. I'm sorry Ma, am I rambling? None of this is meant to take away from what you must be experiencing, I just hope that now things will settle down next door and peace will once again reign. Derek.
