The pistol used in the shooting death was not a part of the storage charges. That pistol was being 'used', not stored. The dropped charge of unsafe storage of a restricted weapon was related to a semi-automatic pistol that was photographed (as evidence) in an unlocked strong-box in a closet. These charges were not related to the criminal charge of murder other than the discovery after the fact. Indeed these charges would apply to anyone and should be. There is a reason why people are expected to comply with the law of the land. Acreage dwellers are not exempt.

As to the argument that he is/will be harassed by roving gangs of vigilantes has proven unfounded and there is proof the First Nations protesters are doing something constructive with their objections to the situation. There has been no talk of retribution except from paranoid xenophobic commentators, thankfully, and this story can fade into the past as I am sure would be the outcome needed by these families.
