A Vancouver senior recently received a five-year weapons ban after he accidentally fired a gun through a wall into his neighbours’ condo unit for the second time.
Police said the senior had been “dry firing” to practice his shooting.
As Kristen Robinson reports, the neighbours are now suing for damages.

The level of empathy and understanding displayed here is a reminder of the importance of compassion and solidarity in building a better world for all.?
This Chung guy doesn’t give a crap! He shouldn’t even have a gun.
why does he have a gun
!!! ???
Foreigners seem to have more rights in Canada now
The CFO should have been notified the first time, as it is usually a serious crime to discharge a firearm in city limits etc. If it was a pistol, than being off-range also automatically strips him of the required PAL license.
The government will use this as another opportunity to do a gun grab
What ever happened to (all licensed firearms holders) PROVE SAFE! Remove his guns and his licence.
Should lose his firearms and revoke his PAL/RPAL so he can’t buy anymore. Owning firearms in Canada is not for morons
that's funny because he's not my neighbour.???
Hey Global, why are your comments turned off on your video reporting about the two 12 year old aboriginal girls that were physically attacked and assaulted by two loss prevention “officers” at a Save on Foods for stealing a $3 bag of crackers in Prince George? Is it because the attackers were two immigrant men?
five year ban?? huh…how about life time ban
5 year ban is joke. This should have resulted in a lifetime ban. There are several safety rules that have to be ignored for things like this to happen, and this level of carelessness warrants a lifetime ban.
SEE…
