TAKING RESTRICTED FIREARMS TO THE RANGE

Happy to be corrected, but I don't believe you have.

I want to estimate 2021, maybe 2022, (covid) rules changed whereby, restricted firearms required a separate ATT for any sanctioned range, gunsmith, or retailer (warranty purposes). The ATT only applies to your range.

You are partially correct except for the part regarding ranges. Check the paper conditions that came with your license if you don't believe me and call the CFP for confirmation. I carry both versions of the conditions in my wallet and the Section 29 ranges bit is the exact same.

They took gunsmith, etc off the list, but it is still all clubs and ranges on mine - Renewed in 2024.
 
What would be the storage requirements if staying at an Hotel overnight and you go out for Dinner?
Locked in your vehicle (in a case) or locked in your room?

I think it would safer in the vehicle….personally, I never leave anything of value in a Hotel room

Good question. I seem to recall that you're supposed to leave it in the vehicle a-la transport mode (locked in the trunk), or if not supposed to, allowed to?

Or if in a truck,locked in a case and hid out of sight.
But these are the rules when travelling from home to the range.

I wouldn’t consider a hotel my home?

I seem to recall a Runkle of the Bailey episode where he covers this topic off. If in the vehicle, you're transporting and yes the hotel room is considered your living accomodation/home legally speaking. However, as I recall Runkle pointing out, how practical is it to walk through a hotel lobby with an arm full of guns..."nothing to see here folks. Nighty, night, don't let the bed bugs bite!" They'd S.W.A.T you before you got to the room!?
 
Might be an idea for your gun case to be an ordinary-looking piece of lockable luggage, no shooting-related stickers or patches on anything you're hauling out at that point. Or keep the gun case inside a regular backpack or satchel. Or if it's a larger case for a long arm, throw on some rock-and-roll fandom stickers to imply it's an electric guitar.

So, like conceal the restricted firearm? Verboden.
 
One thing I can add, if you need to take a firearm to the gunsmith, just take the part you need worked on if possible.
I needed a new rear site on my Beretta 92FS so just took the slide in. No ATT required.
 
Okay I think I have asked this before . I have my RPAL and have handguns registered to me and I’m a member if a range / gun club

My wife has her RPAL and has her own handguns registered to her and is a member of the same range / gun club

What if I want to take one of her handguns to the range and she does not come with me . What is needed ?

You'd need an ATT. The automatic att/ license conditions only cover guns registered to you.

No it's not. Guns in a rack in the back window of your truck is perfectly legal.

Now, obviously how the public and police react to that is going to be different if you're in Vancouver vs Vanderhoof, but that doesn't change the legality of it.

City by-Laws come into play as well.

I've never seen a city bylaw that regulates the transport of firearms. Not saying they don't exist, just I personally haven't seen one.

Do you have an example? I'd love to see what sort of wording might be used in such a document.
