What is important to remember is that a person can be charged with a firearms offence related to the legal ownership of a firearm that fails to meet the requirements of the Act, such as
careless use of a firearm or possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized.
In Fountain, a discipline hearing panel found a teacher guilty
of «conduct unbecoming» for his
careless and reckless
use of a
firearm, which he had fired it over the heads
of his sons during an altercation.
