I dont think anyone would carry a handgun UNLOADEDbears wouldnt get scared and run away by you waving it at them
If you carry it loaded, then it's no difference if it's a restricted or an antique.
Stopped while carrying?

no you are incorrect. By definition as just stated it may be used in the same way as a non restricted. discharged in the same place and so on.
So that means you can walk around in the bush with it loaded just like your 12 gauge or hunting rifle.

fixed it..... Carrying any weapon (knife, handgun, long gun, bat etc) concealed is illegal. If you had a mares leg under your coat that would be just as illegal.

I carry my long gun loaded... why wouldn't you carry your handgun loaded?
LOL No kidding eh i feel bad for the new guys that come here to the antique section for advise and get the wrong information.
yes, I agree
Be careful when taking advise from the internet.
I am just wondering if that was conservation officers or LEO?...
Yup
no big deal. they all know me
(b4 that it asked them if it was ok)
I've stopped people while carrying but it goes like this...
Thats a neat firearm what is it.. O cool have a nice day bye... I've even asked police what they are carrying during the oylimpics I was like ahh a select fire version neat he was like yep lots of fun at the range too..

You noticed that too huh? There was a good thread in the OT about antiques too....
First of all, you guys telling everybody that walking in the bush with an antique (revolver), loaded and holstered is legal should be aware that
1. There is no police or RCMP in the bush, only conservation officers
2. know your hunting laws because you most likely are in conflict with them
Heck, even walking in the bush with a loaded rifle and no hunting license (or out of season) will get you into trouble.
Have a nice day!

My reccommendation, if you NEED to carry a firearm in the woods for protection is A) don't go in the woods. That may well not be an option, for me, I like the woods so I go in anyways. B) if you want to carry an antique, get a break-action revolver and a speed loader around your neck or belt (.455 web is nice, good stopping power etc...) C)carry a shotgun or muzzleloading flintlock rifle, in general you will be in the woods during one hunting season or another. Make sure you have a small game tag and if you encounter the authorities you will not be able to say you are hunting and you will not have an issue (remember your orange). D)Carry your antique in it's holster, loaded, and be quiet listen for the falling footsteps of a conservation officer (least desirable). I like the flinter loaded with a pipe cleaner in the flash hole and the frizzen closed, I hang the primer around my neck, If i see a bear i'm primed in 2 seconds tops and if gets any ideas he's dead or the fire and noise should scare him off, also carry speed loaders. If you meet an officer, that flinter is safe to transport according to regs, is not a firearm (in some regs) and is therefore safe and legal, hopefully.
