FAQ

So I’m hiding a gun for my boyfriend. Big deal. I haven’t done anything wrong with it.

Holding a gun without a license is a criminal offence.

What’s the penalty for hiding a gun?

Penalties vary. Every gun has a different history. It could mean significant time in prison or a large fine

I don’t want to hide my boyfriend’s gun, but I’m afraid of what he might do if I say no. What do I do?

If you or someone you know is being pressured to hide a weapon, you can report it anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), solvecrime.ca. or download the P3 Tips app.

What’s the worst that could happen?

The worst-case scenario is not going to prison. Jessica Iles, Brianna Kinnear, Mandie Johnson and Nicole Alemy, all murdered, are just a few of the women who have paid the ultimate price for getting involved with gang members. It is estimated that 1/3 of women experience intimate partner violence in their life time.

I have my boyfriend’s gun. I want to get rid of it. How can I do that?

Please call 604-897-6023 or your local police. Do not take the gun to your local police station.

Is there someone I can talk to that’s not the police? I just need advice and I don’t trust anyone I know.

Yes, you can call the Youth Against Violence Line at 1 800 680-4264 and talk one on one with someone 24/7. Anything you discuss is completely confidential and you remain completely anonymous. If you are in immediate danger, please call 911 or your local police department.
