POL Licences

Heard a good rumor and want to find people's thoughts.
Let's say there are only 2 people in the house. The man
owns the guns, he hunts, etc and is the only person who has the POL licence. His wife doesn't have a POL.
The guns are always locked up properly. Both have
access to the guns because if living on the farm you
have the potential of coyotes,wolves during calving
season, etc. Now the husband leaves the residence for
a day or more my rumor is to do with the fact that
because my wife has access to the guns but has no
POL licence she is in violation of the gun law the way it
is now. I have the potential of loosing my guns because
I have the only POL licence and I am not in control of the
guns. Any comments or am I reading more into this than
there is? Friggin gun laws!!
