What is the appropriate sentence for a first offender who fired a prohibited handgun on a city street?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Mohamed, 2016 ONCJ 492 (CanLII):
13. The discharge of a firearm must also merit a proportionately higher sentence than three years for simple possession. Extrapolating from R v. Nur, it would appear a five year sentence for a first offender would be within the appropriate range for being found guilty of firing a prohibited handgun on a city street. Five years is the mandatory minimum for a first offender under s. 244.2.
