Changes to automatic Authorizations to Transport restricted and prohibited firearms were brought into force on July 7, 2021. This change now requires licenced owners of registered firearms to obtain an Authorizations to Transport from the provincial or territorial Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) in order to transport a restricted or prohibited firearm** to any place other than to:**
a. an approved shooting club or shooting range within the owner’s province of residence, or
b. to the firearm’s place of storage after purchase.
You cannot shoot a restricted anywhere other than an approved shooting range.
Non-restricted weapons have very little control in Canada. This is why a lot of people were pissed at the constant addition of more and more guns. Guns that were non-restricted suddenly became prohibited. These kinds of sweeping bans are not good. Hell we could do away with a lot of bans in canada but just keep the licensing scheme. That is working well enough. There is simply no need to ban semi-autos at all.
Lets be honest, hand guns were pretty much banned before. Nobody wants to call the cops twice every time they go shooting.
No they were not. And you didn’t need to call the cops to go to the shooting range, it is included in the RPAL.
I’m pretty sure if you were moving the gun, you had to call it in.

Oh, okay. Everyone here just shoots on crown land, so I missed that.
