Well, to me, a police officer should approach every potential dangerous situation with due caution, regardless of what they think there may or may not be in a certain vehicle.
Again, my bill would restore what the law was before the Supreme Court's decision in November 2014. The police never raised the law as it stood prior to November 2014 as being an issue that needed to be addressed. No police contacted me to say they opposed this bill after it was introduced and debated in the House of Commons.
I would make the point that many Canadians have contacted me to thank me for this common-sense move. I would also make the point that the use of these devices—to point an air rifle, for example, at a person in a threatening way—remains clearly illegal. I think the proper safeguards are there to protect public and police safety while at the same time ensuring that law-abiding owners of these devices are kept safe.
