The Crown applied under section 117.05 of the Criminal Code to have the respondent forfeit his firearms and be prohibited from possessing weapons for up to five years.
The application arose after police seized the respondent's weapons collection during a welfare check following the respondent's self-harm incident.
The respondent had made a minor cut to his arm while in a depressed state after learning of his girlfriend's infidelity.
The court found that the respondent did not improperly store his firearms, that mental health assessments indicated no significant concerns, and that there was no basis to conclude the respondent lacked the responsibility required of gun owners.
The application was dismissed.
