Well, I am fine with the existing non-restricted storage laws, I believe
them to be more than adequate. If someone broke into my house and they gave
me a minute to go grab my gun, I still wouldn't have enough time to unlock
them and load them :)  It's the transportation law that I would have a
problem with.  For instance, with restricted firearms such as pistols, you
literally cannot stop at McDonalds for a burger after hitting the shooting
range.  As well, you wouldn't be able to bring it out to your cottage for
target practice either.  I take my guns out to Kenora to a friends cabin to
shoot skeet (and we make multiple stops going there and coming back), if
long arms became restricted the only shooting you would be doing is at the
range.
