some people have enough land where they're legally shooting their long guns without worry of legal problems. can hand guns be fired on private property aswell? assuming I had enough land to do so would I be able to shoot my handgun on it?
shooting on my own property?

you can discharge your restricted firearms where ever it is legal to discharge a non-restricted firearm.
HOWEVER you need an ATT to take your restricted firearms out of your house (residence) and it must be locked up for transport to where your ATT stipulates.
Now the CFOs will only give you ATTs to go to ranges that they have authorized, and gunsmiths... etc...
So IF you could get the CFO to give you an ATT to go from your house to your back yard for shootign then your good to go
This is why ATTs are such a pain and the requirement to get them only serves to limit where you can shoot.

WRONG
unless your property is and has been approved as a range you cannot discharge the restricted firearm legally on your property
and if it is an approved range your ATT would cover you anyways, as most allow you to take your restricted firearm to an authorized range
Edit
never mind, I think your playing on words, or your smoking some good stuff..........
wow the gov is clearly ####ed up much worse than i originally thought they were. needing an att to bring the gun into the back yard. #### me i hope if someone ever breaks into my house and i get to my handgun they dont leave the house cause i cant legally chase them with the gun in my hand, lol.

If they're fleeing you would be in some deep water if you used any kind of force here in Banada especially if you used a firearm. You can only use equal force if your home is invaded.

no not wrong
before ATTs we could shoot on the farm
its only the narrow interpretation that the CFOs have taken that stop us from shooting our restricted firearms where it is legal to shoot our non-restricteds
think about it, there are not 2 different laws on where it is legal to discharge firearms, so if its legal to discharge one type of firearm then its legal to discharge all types of firearms
so what stops you from shooting your restricted on the farm where you shoot your rifles.???
Its the requirement to get an ATT and the conditions of your ATT, you have to have your firearm locked in a case and trigger locked from the time you leave your house (note house not your property or your address) to the time you get to where your ATT says you are allowed to go.
this topic has been hashed out here many times.
and no your deck is not your house and your garage is only part of your house if its attached or tehre is a covered walkway to your garage.

you 'should' be good to go then.... BUT then the CFO would want to inspect your range.
there are threads somewhere discussing this issue.... Guy built a shooting bench on his property so the CFO said it was a range and had to be inspected. Another guy had a berm he shot into build on his property, same deal CFO wanted to inspect it as a range. The guy with the bench just removed the bench, so he can keep shooting whenever he likes.
and you would not get a ATT if you wanted to go to other ranges unless you have a range club to join, so you would need to have an executive for that range club.
Its all about the paperwork and regualtions and hoops to jump thru
I've been shooting handguns 35+ years. It wasn't allowed then, although the local registrar at the time knew where I lived and told me that as long as he didn't get an Official complaint he didn't care. He also said that if he did get a complaint and caught me I would be charged so to always make sure I had a long gun with me and to be discrete. I doubt you would get that kind of a break nowdays. That was just outside cambridge ont.
trust me if someone breaks in and im chasing them with a gun they wont get away. little ####s are gonna steal what i worked hard for, like ####. if anything he may take one in the leg or ass or maybe a few into the ground warning shots to make him #### his panties a little.
so if i open the garage door and the garage door is facing the back yard i can technically shoot it from inside the garage?

the funny thing is a handgun has less range than any rifle im gonna shoot and its not as loud, not as dangerous, etc, oh well i just need to get a membership to a range in the next little bit. from the sounds of it some ranges require you to shoot for x amount of times or x amount of months with a member before being considered for a membership, some have safety courses that they charge you to take, which is ok i guess but seems like a cash grab more than anything else. almost makes me not want to shoot the handgun.

I call BS on this!
There is a thread right now about storing firearms in ones detached garage. Someone on this thread is claiming that the CFO has approved such a thing. So theoretically you are allowed to carry your guns from your house to your garage.
If your garage was 100m from your house that is 100m you could be shooting all the way assuming you lived in an area where firearms can be legally discharged!
My ATT does not say house at all it just lists my address! My address is defined as the property lines surrounding my property, not just the physical building that is on that property.
Wow,
looks like this ATT business needs to be fought. It's absolutely ridiculous and no politician, even the top snake oil salesman politicians would be unable to justify the ATT system. It's just absurd and attempts to complicate things and make it even more difficult to shoot firearms and politically incorrect-looking long guns.

I am willing to bet you would be in a world of legal hurt both in Canada and in a good number of places in the US. Brandishing a firearm in some States in the US is about as bad as firing a warning shot.
Your ability to own guns not mine...just saying.

Money, and lots of time!
There is a book of regs that have to be followed, and the CFO has to actually approve everything themselves. Different clubs get different BS regs laid on them all the time. It is pretty much the CFO swinging his #### like it's a magic wand telling you to suck it the entire time. Not worth it for most.
true, i guess ill deal with the situation the way i feel appropriate if the time ever comes that i need to protect myself, family, and property
