Sharpshooter’s Fall: Gun Import Sentence | Calgary News

An Air Force major, a decorated marksman with three Queen’s Medals and decades of service including deployments to Afghanistan, has been sentenced to two years less a day of house arrest for illegally importing eight firearms into Canada—hidden in his personal belongings when he moved back last August. Facing 29 charges, he pleaded guilty in May. The court emphasized his stellar character and responsibility, noting prosecutors and defense both praised his record. His sentence includes a weapons ban—with an exception for military duties—to protect his career. The judge acknowledged the gravity of the offense, especially given his expertise, but commended his accountability and expressed hope his distinguished service will be factored into future career decisions. No evidence suggests the guns were meant for crime or resale. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
