Langley MP Tako van Popta is holding a virtual town hall on firearms legislation this coming Wednesday, March 10 at 7 p.m.

“A lot of my constituents have serious concerns about how Bill C-21 will affect them, individuals and businesses alike,” van Popta said. “Experts in the industry will be presenting and taking questions.”

Bill C-21 would make compliance with handgun storage and transport restrictions a condition of federal firearms licence in municipalities that pass bylaws to prohibit storage at home or in a municipality.
