Lumby/Cherryville RCMP News, November 5 - 19:
2010/25359 - On November 16, family members brought six firearms to the detachment after tragically losing a loved one the previous day. This is the right thing to do and not an uncommon occurrence following a death in the family. Surprisingly, one of the rifles turned into police for destruction was a fully automatic, WW II era Thompson sub-machine gun. This weapon is more commonly known as a ‘tommy-gun’ and is considered a prohibited weapon under the Criminal Code. Had the deceased been found in possession of it prior to his death, it would have resulted in a serious criminal charge. If you have old, unwanted firearms in your possession, feel free to bring them to us for destruction rather than face prosecution yourself or have them fall into the wrong hands. (More)
