Restricted rifle basics?

I have no issue with someone telling me to go about and beyond the law.. But they need to tell me that first and not teach it to me as if it were the law.
 
Can't say enough about Chris who was was the instructor at Calgary Shooting Center where I took pal/rpal several months ago. Just an awesome instructor who really knows his stuff.

I agree that the statements you made are not "the law". But many people believe the law to be the minimum. There are lost of situations out there where even the police are not aware of what the law accurately states. I quick read of some of the situations listed on the Canadian Shooting Sports web site can show you that locking your ammo, and keeping a trigger lock on your guns even when in a locked container might be a good idea afterall.

I have to disagree. This kind of attitude is why our rights have been beaten back as far as they have. Operate within the law, but don't give them any extra .

That being said, the example in that link was just carelessness. Why would you drive around with ammo loose in your glove box? I see no valid reason.
 
Ranges have different approvals. Some ranges are approved for handguns. Some for rifles, some for both. I have never, ever, heard of a rifle approved range that did not allow the use of restricted rifles, as opposed to non-restricted rifles.

First off, I completely agree that we don't want to allow the continued encroachment on our rights.
I think the point of the example, and there were 3 in the article, is that LEO doesn't have a clear understanding of the law, and even if they are dead wrong, once they lay a charge you have to give up your possessions until cleared, and that seems to be a lengthy, and costly, endevour. Wouldn't it be better to spend 5 bucks on a lock?
And I agree, loose rounds in the glove box is just plain dumb.

Galt Sportsmans Club

The process for joining and then actually discharging your firearms at this place is something out of Wyatt's wet dreams

This is what I'm talking about. We're allowing the LEO's to legislate from the streets. I fully understand the very natural, very reasonable desire to keep your head down when others are being persecuted, but this is how we're going to lose what little liberty we have. I'm not suggesting we flaunt the law our try to skirt it, but if we allow their ignorance to govern us here, where do we draw the line?.
 
It's sad that there is someone instructing firearms courses who would spew such obvious nonsense. I'd be interested what other weird crap this guy is telling his students.
 
Maybe the alberta cfo is sending more nonsense memos with more imprctical laws that dont really exist... its all a conspiracy of mis-information!!! Lol... but seriously, the club i did my rpal at had things all messed up as well, turns out the hunting crowd can purposly poo-poo the black rifle and handgun crowd, who knew?
