Hello everybody,
I heard that I can find answers and advices to many questions here.
My question is that I am going to set up a small business to take people out to crown lands to shoot some clay. My question is if it is legal to get paid by someone who doesn't have firearm license and let that person to shoot clay in crown land using my firearm? I will be there personally to observe the process. Do I need any kind of permission or license. I carry regular firearm license and I have some shotguns.
Thank you in advance.
 
Being as how the authorities seem to be so concerned with the regulations surrounding shooting ranges,I would be interested to see how the local authorities would feel about you using public land to run a for profit target shooting operation.
 
Call a lawyer. Seriously. It will likely run you 200-300 bucks for a hour of their time but the 'for profit' aspect screams problem.
 
Yes contact a lawyer and the CFO. I would also want to contact someone who can tell you about issues concerning waste target,plastic hulls, wads and lead contaminants! We once had to undergo an Environmental assessment at our very small club for lead contamination and get this one.... the possibility of gunpowder residue causing mould to grow on the ground in and on the firing ranges!:rolleyes:
 
Some friends and I run a small sporting clays club here in NS. We are for profit, but after expences, and equip. clays,liability ins, joint stocks, legal fees, there isn't much left, but we do manage to buy a new trap once in a while, without reaping any profit.......seriously. Then, there is dealing with the firearms officer, to make sure we are legal. Signage, property lines..... the list goes on. We really only do it so we have a place to shoot
d:h:
 
There was talk in Ontario, that if a site is regularly used by 2 or more people to target shoot the site will be deemed a range and have to be certified as such. (Pass inspections, have signage, range officer, etc.) I'm not sure if that has become law yet or not.
Using public land regularly for a shooting range is a good way to ensure that, "public land" aka crown land, will likely end up being posted "no hunting" and/or "no shooting", and there will be a lot less land for us all to go hunting on.
 
it doesn't have to become law, it is an interpretation of existing law. and I heard Niedermeyer say it in person, and he said one or more persons shooting anywhere, regularly, even on your own land. Fortunately, they are not looking for this very hard, yet.
