,QUOTE=datre200;10269295]Cool thanks.
If your ammo is stored separate, and you don't keep the magazines loaded,
then you don't have to worry about being stopped by someone who knows little about the firearms laws.
It may slow down your day and be costly to prove you are right.

You'll want to carry your ammo separate anyway. It's heavy, and your carry case will soon be too small as your collection grows. I suggest you get yourself a surplus ammo can. I picked some up years ago and none are close to wearing out. $20, you'll buy it once. Steel with a rubber seal on the lid. Easy to add a locking clasp to it if you want.
Check with your club's policy as well regarding arrival @ firing area. My club's policy is that ammo and firearms arrive separately @ firing area - there's a "Safety Area" where firearms are uncased/unlocked/checked and no ammo can be in that area. If it's the same at your club, then you'd be violating that rule.
And in any case, you're not just going to bring 4-5 mags worth of ammo, so you're way better off carrying your ammo separately anyways.

No offence, but I'm always amazed at the people that can own a restricted firearm that don't know the law and rely on the internet for the truth. If your firearms course didn't tell you AND didn't force you to read the Firearms Act you should not recommend them to anyone. Educate yourself. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Get the info from the source: the RCMP or CFC and find the true regulations. Or, you could drive around with your AR-15 on your passenger seat and see what happens.
Thanks.
Just another question about transporting restricted firearms.
If I have an AR15 can I break the rifle in half and with a trigger lock on the trigger just lock up the lower ( serialized ) half of the rifle in a locked up case? Keep the upper stored separately.
I've never been a fan of transporting around firearms in obvious looking rifle cases and I have a metal laptop case that my lower would fit in that is a hell of a lot sturdier than a plastic $19 "locking" guncase from Walmart.

I'm also amazed how many knowledgeable and experienced owners of Restricted firearms are willing to "challenge" the fine details of the law. e.g. transport, etc.
Personally, I'd rather overkill the process than depend on a LEO to be well versed in these laws. You may be right in the end but it could be painful getting there.
I do not play russian roulette with my firearms license….YMMV

I agree. Get yourself a good case (pistol/rifle/both) for your firearms and a range bag for your ammo and other necessities. Also, you'll get a workout for both arms this way. I don't know about everyone else, but when you're going to the range with .45, 9mm, .223, and .22 and various handguns and rifles, it get's pretty heavy to carry around. If I had it all in one bag, my arm would begin to stretch...

I absolutely agree. Personally I go one level higher that the law requires. The law is somewhat grey in places and the LEO's don't tend to know the laws well anyway. It does seem to depend on individual officers. My theory is if you show you are trying really hard by going above and beyond then you are not likely to given a hard time.
Funny that doesn't seem to apply to the LEO's that have you face down on the payment.
Isn't that the truth..!
I've heard enough, pony-ride, saved the world from guns, stories to make a lefty sick.
It tears me that our taxes pay people to enforce laws that they THINK they know..
When we meet and in most cases, exceed the laws before us with respect to guns, why don't they ?
Sorry OP mini rant. Back to your regular scheduled programming.

I follow the law, IMO, going above and beyond the law will help no one, breaking the law will determine what happens next. LE care about enforcing current laws and if any of them have been violated. If the Officer is not entirely familiar with current firearm laws, roadside delays are inevitable no matter. Politeness and courtesy is nice but will not prevent alleged charges, if some think going above the legal requirements will give them feel good leeway when questioned about firearms, so be it.
