RCMP Cpl Matt Howell says the Firearms Act tells you how to handle and transport firearms, and what is and what is not considered a firearm.
“Anything that looks like a firearm, is considered to be a firearm. So your best bet whenever you’re transporting that is that you’re not holding it out in public, and you’re transporting it in a sealed case ideally in a trunk of a car.”
