I appreciate that. But I'm not disputing that it's against the law

So unscrupulous people don't try and bend the rules , and as soon as they get inside the park they won't poach something.

I reject the idea of pre-crime. Poaching is illegal and I can support those laws. The act of carrying a firearm in Alberta's wild lands should not be.
Your logic makes no sense. So an unscrupulous poacher will be stopped from even considering poaching because carrying a gun is a no-no? How does that work?
"Hey bro lets go poach some park Wolves" "nah man I'm all over that but we will get in serious trouble if we have our unloaded and cased guns on the parkway!"
Guys broke the law and yup I agree with chuck they had an unfair advantage. But... Maybe we need to question those laws. What the heck is wrong with some guys walking through Banff park with a rifle and a carcass? i walk up my big city driveway several times a year with a carcass and a shotgun and it's never turned into a sage grouse massacre.
These laws aren't to protect wildlife they are to control how people like you and I responsibly enjoy Alberta's wild places.
