They are right to worry for the safety of their staff but not because of the gun owners turning their firearms in. They should be worried about becoming the target of criminals looking to steal those firearms from their delivery chain.

The average Canada Post staff is also probably not trained to ensure firearms are safe. If a gun were to be brought in the staff would have to know how to handle, unload and store firearms. This knowledge would still be needed if guns were brought in with locks as some models may still hold one in the chamber.

Ottawa's plan is to have owners of banned guns place the unloaded and secured weapons in government-issued boxes
