***Did you lose a Tikka bolt?****

This is in Newfoundland, any time you’re driving through a provincial park, even on the highway I believe.

Here is the actual regulation. Notice that dismantling is one of a few options, it isn't mandatory.

Possession of firearms

6. (1) A person shall not in a park, except in a Waterway Park and T’Railway Park designated for hunting under subsection 4(2) and section 5 carry or have in his or her possession a rifle, shotgun, airgun or other type of gun or any other device for killing, trapping or otherwise destroying or capturing game except under a permit issued by the minister or in accordance with this section.

(2) Where a provincial highway or portion of it passes through a provincial park, or a section of a provincial park, firearms, ammunition, firearms, or other wildlife threatening devises must be sealed, or dismantled, cased or securely wrapped and tied, and kept in the transporting vehicle in a manner that is inaccessible to the vehicle occupants while they are riding in the vehicle.

Not allowed to have a gun not cased or somehow disassembled or locked in the cab in a national park, that was 55 yrs back even (dad got stopped). Had to be inaccessible/unuseable. Probably still do.

Some provincial parks, and all national parks have similar rules. Within the normal boundaries though, it's not normal. - dan

And nowhere is removing the bolt tbe only option.

Sometimes it is actually required. Whether people comply is another story.

So must be inside the vehicle. Good to know
