Ep. 43: Ian Runkle Firearms Lawyer
About this episode
Travis speaks with Ian Runkle, Canadian Criminal Defence Lawyer with a keen interest in firearms law. They discuss what might be considered dangerous questions when speaking with the police and how sometimes it’s better to say nothing.
They talk about Bill C-21, the air soft ban and the negative impact it will have, storage of non-restricted firearms when out hunting or for predator control and legalities around that.
