I'm really glad I'm not in ON. I imagine that is where you are?
None of that bs in Nova Scotia... Thank God!

you must declare your intention to join a club, but you never actually have to join one. The ATT must come from a club, according to the CFO, but if you have space to shoot safely at your home (your own property, if big enough), you don't need either a club membership or an ATT

Uhhh... you sure about that?
That would be very wrong. Unless your property is an approved range, you can't shoot restricted there. Wouldn't matter if it was a gazillion acres big, end result is still the same.

if you've got the space, you're far enough from the rest of the world to not have someone call- it's only illegal when you get caught.
My understanding is that it is illegal.

Innocent until proven guilty- if there's no one to suggest I'm guilty (I'm talking about those who live way out in the country and have no neighbours nearby), there's no charge, and no issues. Strictly hypothetical, no one here would EVER contravene a law, myself included.

So by your logic, one could hypothetically murder someone and one would be innocent unless someone found and and reported it?
So if someone stole your firearms they would be innocent of the crime if they were not caught?
I believe that most people here would view them as thieves - obviously you would not.
Without that caveat, it sounds to me that you are telling people who wouldn't know any better to break the law. Your hilarious back tracking aside, that is a pretty ####ty (and stupid) thing to do.
The person would have committed the act of murder, yes. But how could a court find that person guilty of a crime or any other incident that no one else (including the court) knows actually occured? Remember, guilt or innocence is ultimately up to the courts to decide.
Just got off the phone with the CFO office, the women who helped me was great. She figured out why my application was taking so long to be processed and approved me on the spot and gave me my pal # 
Once the CFC tells you they sent off your app to the CFO call the CFO and make sure everything is ok because if I didn't call I would still be waiting.

it was a joke guys... nothing's illegal until you get caught... the murder/theft issue is about infringing on the freedom of others, and that's a moral issue as much as a legal one.
In any case, I'm sorry if my joking comments didn't come off that way and I certainly don't advocate anyone breaking the law (I don't cross the street when the stop hand is up, even when there's no traffic, and it's raining, and everyone around me is doing it).
No hard feelings I hope

I get it. A lot of newbies come here to look for advice and may not know enough to discern from real info and joke info.
I hold no hard feelings. This is just the worse part of the forum to joke in to the point where it could really create a bad situation for some poor guy getting busted for shooting a pistol sans ATT on his farm or something. Joking and sarcasm doesn't translate well in internet text unfortunately.

fair enough. I'm new too, and I do agree that it can be hard to differentiate joke from fact.
