Wasnt me saying it was about the Gun Fire Noise but if it is to the Churches then this would be a Very viable solution
Nova Scotian should allow its residents to hunt Sundays.

Or because they don't want to change them. Because they're stuck in their ways. Mom does some craft and other stuff at a church group. Often when anything with change gets brought up. It is people older than her saying this is how we always did it and this is how it will be done. So mom being like me, will go out and do it differently and everybody but the old people in charge, loves the change.
BTW Mom is 68.
Mom was also told by the pastor when asked, why not voulenteer for the church? She said spent my whole life helping others and putting others first. Im focusing on myself now. He said that is shelfish.
I tried to get NS to allow airguns for small game hunting. Basically got told someone might use a red ryder. Yet someone can use those 400 fps 22 and take a inhumane shot and be legal as the laws a vague.

The same reason why Nova Scotia outlawed spearfishing, metal detecting, and I am surprised magnet fishing is not subject to heavy fines. I am also surprised they have not banned the subsistence mackeral fishery, but the DFO controls that unless I am mistaken. That's possibly why it's not been banned.

They're all in it together. The Conservatives are the right wing of Liberal government.
Good luck with hunting Sundays when your province mandates climate lock downs

Two separate times I’ve had CO’s explain how it’s an old school law created to give people a day to wander in the woods without having to worry about being shot. Started before gun training was common and risk of injury was higher.
Makes sense. Much more than religious reasons to me anyways.

And here you go.
Nova Scotians speaking up for Nova Scotians and that how the change starts.
Now there has to be a movement of not just one two or three but a whole movement of its' citizens demanding change (with respect of course).
Time for change ??
I am not a Nova Scotian. I simply live here because the King makes me.

Only time we will see change, is when alot of the older generations die off.
Then majority of the population lives in the city and could care less.
That does make sense. Also, the area in SW Ontario where I hunt, has no Sunday shooting/hunting.
I talked to the fellow who sits on the council and asked him why, was it for religious reasons…and he said no.
He said it is because the locals want to have one day a week free of gun shots. Big problem for them were coyote hunting groups from out of the area that would show up on Sundays and blast all day long…coyotes or not. So that was the reason he gave me.

^^^ Yes.
In fact for many years the only good politicians in Kanada are the ones buried in the ground with their souls sent to an earned hot location for eternity.
I'm glad that I've never set foot in New Scotland or anywhere east of Ontario in Kanada. I don't ever intend to.
I was quite happy living and working in Maine years ago, there weren't too many lefties there at that time. At least I didn't hear of any at the machine gun shoots we attended.

Just saw that NS has now banned hiking altogether. The excuse is forest fire hazard.
25k fine if you are caught merely walking in the woods.
They even setup a snitch line for it!
I thought QC was bad, but I guess NS is the final boss.

Do you live in a place that might be consumed by a fire or do you live in a town or city away from possible fire hazards?
If I owned a home in the woods, I would welcome this as I would NOT trust my holdings to those who might be in the woods to use common sense. Some folks are just plain dumb and could not care less about others and the consequences of their actions.
You might lose a walk in the woods where others might lose or have lost their homes and everything they own.

But the wildfire that currently inching its way to my house. Im less than 10km from the evac zone in place. Was caused by mother nature. I can see banning motorized or EV in the woods. Or open flames, or devices that could start fires ( lighters, matches, glass, batteries ) But not hiking, walking, cycling.
My house is currently vacant due to insurance claim. I was checking on my home. Saw a women walking their dog on the shoulder and people were coming closer to hitting her. The dog was getting scared. When there is literally 5ft off the road, and runs along the road, a groomed trail that is safe from the danger of distracted and careless motorist. But because it is "the woods" you are banned from entering.
Even I don't walk on the shoulder.
I mean Monday there were burnt leaves scattered and was feet from my house. From fallout of the wildfire. I mean the ground literally crunches like corn flakes being how dry it is. A fire could easily got started.
So yes my house is at risk. I don't condone a full ban. But will say that emergency services responce times are getting slower due to them sending FF/VFF to fight the fire. Then not having enough coverage for normal operations.

That’s how it was explained to me also. Now it’s just a bunch of NIMBYs who like to pretend they still go for Sunday walks and are afraid of getting shot at.
Meanwhile most have not set foot on crown land in decades.

Not even crown land. I gotta wear hunter vest walking the dogs. On non hunting areas, because I hear people shooting.
When I moved here in the dark last days of the Cold War, Ontario had extensive but unnecessary legal controls set over the population, including 'Lord's Day' laws against such things as shopping and hunting on Sundays. That got dropped for shopping, in the late 1980s IIRC, but the Sunday hunting policies were left to individual jurisdictions. I never heard what happened after that because my hunting areas became liberated, some places may still keep the Sunday law on the books.
There is always someone who can articulate a good reason to deprive others of certain basic, fundamental freedoms.
Color me surprised that someone here would find it reasonnable to ban people from merely walking in nature. Unreal.
This is the exact pseudo-logic you hear from advocates of gun bans.
"I dont trust people to use common sense around firearms, you might only lose a good time at the shooting range, but others stand to lose loved ones to gun violence and just think of the children, yadayada". Yes, that is exactly what you just argued.
Ever heard the saying that those who are willing to sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither and will lose both...
By the way, not that it really matters, but I do own a very valueable (to me at least) dwelling in the woods that everyday is at risk of being consumed by forest fires. And i can tell you I would put my trust in any hiker before I would put my trust in someone who doesn't see the problem with a prohibition on hiking in the forest. And you're convinced you're the smart one with common sense, eh?
