"In the legal opinion of our firearms legal team – headed by Edward Burlew L.L.B., one of the foremost experts in Canadian firearms law – Blair banned almost every modern 12-gauge and 10-gauge shotgun in Canada with removable chokes because they exceed the maximum bore diameter of 20 mm as defined in SOR/2020-96."

Seems a little fishy, as 20 mm = 0.8", right? Cylinder bore for a 12 gauge is around 0.760", isn't it.

Still just another reason to no live in Canada and further proof that any place that can ban guns, will.

Didn’t they ban AR style rifles as well?

I bet the guys in Alberta and Saskatchewan will love that new law. Thats the problem when the liberals get to make the rules for the entire country. Gonna be fun hunting geese with a 20 gauge.

The reasoning is that a shotgun can be fired when the choke tube is removed, When the choke tube is not in place, the inside diameter where the barrel was relieved now measures over 20mm.

It's not beyond the realm of possibility that we might see Alberta secede from Canada in our lifetime

Highly doubtful, but would be fun to watch.

Yes, BUT they aren't banning "HUNTING" weapons. Somebody forgot to tell them about shotguns used for hunting

Idiots!

Sounds like an opportunity for somebody to offer barrels with external chokes.

Or companies like Remington to crank out more old style barrels with fixed chokes.

I would support this. Albertans are a lot like Texans.

Oh, they covered that too. Most modern shotguns can easily have the barrel changed out to a barrel with choke tubes.

Gonna need to engineer a 20 gauge that takes a high brass 5" magnum, or maybe a 13 gauge!

[Derek H.]

Good excuse for a 16 gauge up there.

[Eagle19]

Curious how that is going to fit duck and goose outfitters up there.
