Firearms forfeited and five-year prohibition ordered due to the respondent's reckless conduct and irrational grievances.
The Crown brought an application under section 117.05 of the Criminal Code seeking forfeiture of firearms and ammunition seized from the respondent, a prohibition on possession of weapons for five years, and ancillary orders.
The respondent opposed the application and sought a stay of proceedings alleging abuse of process.
The court found that the respondent exhibited a dangerously cavalier attitude toward firearm ownership, demonstrated by his reckless conduct in allowing an unlicensed individual to take possession of a newly purchased shotgun and ammunition.
The court also found that the respondent harbored irrational grievances against the justice system and lacked the emotional stability and responsibility required of a licensed gun owner.
The Crown's application was granted in its entirety.
