    Yes, all parts of the FCA that can be changed.

    Sean, what exactly is your point? It's self evident to everyone that subject to due process all laws can be changed - our Constitution itself has been amended more than a dozen times.

    I am saying that I will not be surprised to see some of these sections changed in the near future.

    Oh, and I do not expect much due process.

    The question is concerning the use of a hunting rifle to defend yourself. I would think that it is lawful to defend yourself with whatever you have available at that stage - even if it is your hunting rifle.

    I understand that any weapon can be used for self defence, but my question is: If I have a pistol licensed for sport-shooting, may I carry it on a daily basis??
