Stopped while carrying?

No, not true. They need to have evidence you were poaching before they can charge you. Carrying a gun in the bush is not evidence of poaching.


Good, look up the part that says you may not target shoot or carry a gun on Crown Land without a hunting license if you are not hunting. Can't find it? Because it is not there....

Well, you can in BC for some animals. They are called "Schedule C" animals and no Lic or tag needed. Might want to read your booklet.

In BC you can hunt with a handgun... The regs say you can't hunt with a restricted firearm thats it

Thats interesting indeed id like to contact the gamebranch first mabye to see what there opinion is and talk to an leo/ co not a desk jockey. However carrying your papers and that section of the regs as well it may be better to ask for forgiveness and than permission in this case.

Maybe you should read the BC regulations ..especially the part they actually list about hunting with handguns.Start on page 3 where it defines a handgun
HANDGUN is a firearm that is designed,altered or intended to be aimed and fired by the action of one hand or that has a barrel less than 305mm (12 in)in length,
then to legal hunting methods on page 17 starting with the first sentence under firearms.

>No person shall hunt wildlife with a handgun.
Not very complicated to understand but thanks for giving your legal advice anyways.

So get involved and see if you can add Black powder loaded handguns to the primative hunting season. I think I'm going to in alberta. Hell, it's a start.

Do you think the average BP handgun has enough stopping power?
And I'm not trolling. I've got a .41 colt myself, but other than perhaps a coupe de grace, I wouldn't think it powerful enough to actually harvest larger game with.
And the bigger bad-ass rd's like 45 LC or 44-40 would take it off of the antique list.
But I suppose a 38-40 or a 44 WCF in an SSA with a longish bbl might suffice.

It is in the regulation book, but that is not law. No mention of this in provincial law in BC.

Provincial/federal laws typically allow various regulatory bodies the power to define/ enact/ modify regulations(they are an extended definition of the law) so the net effect is the same( regardless if it's spelled out in a specific law or Act or not), almost all good regulatory laws make reference such as "as further defined in regulation" i.e., you still can't hunt with a handgun without the risk of a charge in BC if regs say you can't.
