Ruger has released a new left-handed 10/22 rifle. For Canadian gun owners, it has an interesting legal quirk that might end up making this rifle popular (even with right handed gun owners).

An examination of some of the issues around "knife law" in Canada--in particular, looking at the case of R. v. Richard and Walker, which is one of the most thorough examinations of the legality of folding knives and which methods of opening are legal versus illegal. As "knife law" is a very complicated subject, there'll be a number of videos on this topic over time.

A court in Saskatchewan has ruled on the constitutionality of breath testing at the roadside with no suspicion of impairment, or even alcohol consumption. He found that it is a violation of Charter rights against search and seizure, but that this violation was justified under s. 1 of the Charter, which means that the law is constitutional. Lawyer Ian Runkle discusses the case, and examines what it may mean for Canadians--especially in cases of certain physical or mental disabilities.
