If he owned ANY firearms - even if safely stored by the book - the story would have been differently written. The police would have charged him anyway with unsafe storage at the least (police do this by default) and then felt good about their righteous bust - high fives all around for keeping the world safe.
Yes many police forces from the RCMP on down to municipal forces have lost touch with what is right and reasonable any more - especially in regard to lawful ownership and lawful use of firearms. Police are increasingly losing the respect of many law abiding citizens IMO.
