Guelph Police notice

This is the second occurrence this week where people have been observed with pellet guns which has resulted in a police response. BB and air pellet guns look real. So real in fact, they are often hard to distinguish from the real thing. Guelph Police ask that if you own or plan to own a pellet or BB gun, treat it like you would a real gun. Keep it stored securely in your home and do not take it out into public. Be aware of the bylaws surrounding firearms within the City of Guelph as well as the firearms laws of Canada.
