So I know you can't hunt with Restricted firearms, but I have a question. I have about 130 acres of land and a s**t ton of coyotes and stuff on that property. Since I am not leaving my own property am I allowed to hunt those coyotes with an AR? Just a question.

Two issues.
One. Do the hunting regulations permit the use of restricted firearms for hunting? Check your provincial regulations.
Two. The firearm is registered to your residence, not your property or acreage. You cannot remove your restricted firearm from the place to which it is registered without an ATT.

So, legally you are out of luck.

If you have an ATT to go to your range, then no, you're not breaking the law. The ATT doesn't stipulate how you get there, just that you take a direct route. Federal firearms laws indicate you are not allowed to shoot indoors. IIRC that was on the PAL test...

I took that test 15 years ago.
If it's illegal to shoot indoors how do you explain indoor gun ranges that are all over the place?

Why not with a restricted? Discharging a firearm is discharging a firearm. Only thing with a restricted is the ATT. Shooting off your deck attach to your rural house should be no issue because you havent left your dwelling

I thought the regs stipulated that restricted could only be used at a certified range, hence no restricted at DNR ranges. I could be wrong though.
 
@ Doug the canuck. So your saying that if you we're my neighbor on the other side of 130 acres you would be able to tell the difference between me firing a Tavor (non-restricted) and a AR-15 (restricted)? both fire the same cartridge and both have a similar report when fired. Are you going to say "ohhh i hear a restricted gun being fired!" If so I wish I had your hearing cause that's amazing. I'm not trying to say its okay to fire an ar-15 at any place other than a certified shooting range because you should follow the law even if its a dumb law.

You asked if you were allowed... does being allowed, or legal for that matter, some how imply others need to know?

TRich said:
I speed all the time... as im sure most people do...

Does that mean it is allowed or does that mean if you get caught there will be consequences? You are still liable for that offence, even if no one knows about it at that time, someone can still find out about it later on. And, no one ever knows you speed, really? Finally, speeding is not a criminal offence in Canada, criminal offences fall under federal jurisdiction, speeding is provincial…

As a matter of fact you can in Ontario...

Criminal driving offences come with criminal repercussions. You know dangerous driving, driving while intoxicated… I don’t believe any offences that fall under provincial jurisdiction come with jail time, someone correct me if I am wrong… The big thing here though is the difference between criminal and non-criminal matters.

So what have we learned? Is it allowed, no. Are you capable, yes. Is it morally permissible, maybe. But, in this case, if you get caught the consequences will make your head spin. Then again, the level of fail here makes my head spin.

Alberta Hunting Regs: It is unlawful to discharge a weapon within 183 m (200 yards) or cause a projectile from a weapon to pass within 183 m (200 yards) of any occupied building.

If its you're home. I'd say its occupied. Can't speak for places outside of Ab though.

Hunting regulations don't apply unless you are hunting. Same reason we don't have to wear orange or plug shotgun mags unless you are hunting.

Can I hunt yotes with a restricted firearm? Yes
Is it legal to hunt yotes with a restricted firearm? No
Will I get caught hunting yotes with a restricted firearm on my private 103 acres? Highly unlikely
If I get caught hunting yotes with a restricted firearm on my private 103 acres, will I be in sh1t? Yes, big sh1t!!
Is it worth the risk to hunt yotes with a restricted firearm on my private 103 acres? Only you can determine that.
 
I know of a fellow in Western Sask that has an ATT to hunt Yotes with his AR. Took him 6 months to get and some threats of lawyers, but he has it. I saw it with my own 2 eyes. The powers that be probably don't want everyone to know he has one, so I am doing my part in keeping you all informed!

Stunt driving and speed racing (traveling 50km or over) can carry a penalty of up to 2 years in prison in Ontario. I'm getting rid of the AR anyways it's annoying. Going back to non restricted guns that I can legally kill things with.
 
Just for the record, I believe the discussion on whether or not it is legal to discharge a restricted firearm from within your own house has already been had.

If I recall correctly unless your province's shooting within certain distance of buildings law does not have an exception for the owner and those authorized by the owner, then assuming your house is not in a municipality with a no discharge bylaw, you are not actually breaking any law that anyone has been able to provide. Do not recommend and do not claim to be a source of legal info.

In this country unless there is a law prohibiting something you are free to legally do it.
