Possible grey area in the C-42 ATT rules?

On my ATT it clearly states to and from an approved gun range and has my local range that I'm a member at. Now from my understanding is I have to be a current member at a club or gun range in order for my ATT to be valued.

Off the government website I was reading and here is what it says.

Authorizations to Transport become a condition of a licence for certain routine and lawful activities such as target shooting; taking a firearm home after a transfer; going to a gunsmith, gun show, a Canadian port of exit; or a peace officer or a Chief Firearms Officer (CFO) for verification, registration or disposal;

No where does it say I must be an active member of a club or range, and the whole "Target Shooting"... I take my non-restricted out of city limits to crown land for target shooting, well more so only my shotgun for shooting clays but my point is no where am I seeing official statements that it must be a range for restricted firearms once C-42 goes into affect.

My guess is all the current ATT rules will stay the same but will transfer from that paper to our actual r-pal license minus being a member of a club or range?

Anyone seen any official rules based for C-42 in regards to this or do we just have to wait till September 2nd and wait for the CFO to update their site? Or call them after September 2nd and have them email the actual rules.
 
Not very grey in written law I'm afraid. I believe they use "target shooting" as a laymens term in the press release.

(2.1) Subject to subsection (2.3), an individ#ual who holds a licence authorizing the individual to possess prohibited firearms or restricted firearms must, if the licence is renewed, be authorized to transport them within the individual’s province of residence
(a) to and from all shooting clubs and shooting ranges that are approved under section 29;
(b) to and from any place a peace officer, firearms officer or chief firearms officer is located, for verification, registration or disposal in accordance with this Act or Part III of the Criminal Code;
(c) to and from a business that holds a licence authorizing it to repair or appraise prohibited firearms or restricted firearms;
(d) to and from a gun show; and
(e) to a port of exit in order to take them outside Canada, and from a port of entry.
 
In the gazette its written to the effect that you don't need to be a member of a range for the ATT but still they only place you can take the restricted to shoot is a CFO approved range.
Do a search of the forum various aspects of C-42 are being discussed and may of them contain links to the actual wording of the law
