What is the legal maximum capacity of shotgun in Canada?

It could very from state to state but I suspect the federal gov't regulates all that. In Michigan, the legal maximum capacity is 6 shells. Improving answer: Canada is not Michigan. But within Canada, there are Provinces. So I think they can have their own gun and ammo laws that may be tighter than the National law. Also, there is often a difference in what is allowed for hunting and what is allowed for other purposes. For example, under U.S. federal law (actually a treaty) a shotgun used to hunt migrating waterfowl (ducks, geese) can only hold 3 rounds maximum. 2 in the magazine and one directly in the chamber. But for deer hunting with slugs, 5 rounds is OK in most states.


Can the landlord of a mobile home park tell you who can live with you if you own the mobile home?

In some cases , yes. -For instance there are many "Senior Citizen " Parks, where every tenant is expected to be over 65. -If your case is of this type, and you signed an agreement to that effect, then he can reasonably object to younger tenants. -If that's not the case, then you should consult your local, Provincial or State office that protects Residential Tenant rights. Where I live, in BC, Canada, we have Two Acts of Provincial Govt. to deal with these rights. -The US is so progressive, I am quite certain they will have similar acts.
