Gun Bans & The Future of Local Ranges || Crossing The Line || Ep. 5
In this episode of Crossing the Line, Curtis sits down with Parker Willicome to break down what’s really happening at the grassroots level of Canada’s firearms community. Parker shares his journey from having little exposure to firearms to becoming deeply involved with the Cranbrook Rod & Gun Club: organizing events, supporting competitions, and advocating for the future of shooting sports. The conversation dives into the real-world impact of firearm policies on local clubs, membership decline, and why ranges are more than just places to shoot, they’re community hubs, training facilities, and a key part of Canada’s outdoor culture. This episode is about more than firearms, it’s about community, responsibility, and why getting involved matters now more than ever. https://cbkrgc.ca Learn more about your ad choices.
