Color me surprised.
For the record Justice Gabrielson of the Saskatchewan Court of Queen's bench determined, "There is no unfettered right to possess or use firearms in Canada pursuant to the Bill of Rights 1689 or any subsequent legislation" when analyzing gun ownership with Section 26 of the Charter. http://canlii.ca/t/1vm4n

So it does not appear that gun ownership is protected by Section 26 of the Charter.
