Restricted at Hunting Camp

[Bitumen]

I wish I were allowed to bring along my .357 to the hunting camp this year. It seems so stupid that we are not allowed.

 

[Bowie]

Yup. But I would rather a .22 revolver.

So, did you send a copy of this sentiment to your Member of Parliament?? If not you are just preaching to the choir and nothing will ever change.

You can't hunt with any restricted firearm. Nothing new about it either. Been crying since 1978 that I can't hunt with my M1 Carbine. The really stupid part is that in Ontario, at least, it's perfectly legal to hunt upland birds with a .357 look-a-like air pistol.
If you really want to hunt with a handgun, book a hunt Stateside. Last I heard, PA allows non-resident's to hunt on 'game farms' with handguns. Wild pigs, as I recall. And not a canned hunt. Not cheap either.

While at the camp, what would you use that .357 for?

 

[Trinimon]

Can't shoot restricted anywhere other than a CFO approved range. Sucks 'cause it would be cool to go plinking on that hunt camp during downtime.

What is even more retarded is not being allowed to discharge your restricted firearm on your own property, even if you lived at the North Pole.

LOL, well, we all know that a 22LR from a pistol is WAY WAY WAY MUCH more destructive than a 1oz slug or 00 Buckshot from a 12ga shotty. Think of the children!!

Let's see what the next election brings ..... what you said plus you're not allowed to discharge a BB gun while taking a dump in your own bathroom!

What Boo said. We use to have the right to hunt with a handgun. The Liberals took that right away back in the 70's.

 

[Magellann]

It would be nice to see if we could get it back.

 

[Thenooblord]

well you can hunt with a handgun, its just gotta be over 115 years old...

 

[Mr. Friendly]

While at the camp, what would you use that .357 for?

I suspect pine tree defense, or maybe even those wiley suns of #####es, Cedars!

 

[Bitumen]

I would like to shoot a deer with it.

Downtime plinking would be fun too.

Now that's really nuts especially if properly secured

Not in BC. Hunting regulations forbid hunting with a handgun regardless of age.
.22 LR rifle, okay for grouse.
.22 LR revolver for grouse, go to jail.
Stupid.

Target shooting, person protection for when he cannot keep his rifle on him 24/7...finishing off an animal or even hunting WITH the .357Magnum.

I've shot pigs down south with a .44Mag...as long as your steady and a good shot, its not hard.

You surely meant "sons of birches". Right?

Is the North Pole in Ontario?
