Legal Transpotation of Restricted and Non Restricted Firearms

[@robt5503]

Invaluable information. Please update for 2023! Your people need you. Thank you for your time and hard work!

[@alwong604]

So nice to get a Canadian perspective on firearms on KZbin. Great vids! Subscribed.

[@troybingham6426]

Worth noting that you should always carry any documentation outside the locked case (in your wallet or purse ideally). Reason is that if you are stopped and asked to produce it, under no circumstances can you open the storage case. The only places you can open it legally are at your home, an authorized range or gunsmith's or at a police station. Even if requested to open it by a police officer, you can't comply during a roadside stop. You'd have to request escort to the police station and open it there. .. So have your docs where you can easily access them.

[@lomayagi]

Thanks! Always good to have a refresher even if you've had your RPAL for awhile.

[@jojo123469]

Hi Rod I'm glad that you verified that I don't need a trigger lock or a rifle case on non restricted firearms when transporting. A fellow at the range told me the same thing, but I was kinda skeptical on the issue. Thanks.

[@docholliday1993]

I love your videos as always, Rod. Informative and succinct. The other point I want to make is that, as mentioned in other comments on this thread, it’s true that the RCMP (and I’m guessing other police forces in Canada) do not always know the gun laws they are supposed to be enforcing. I’ve encountered this twice in my lifetime. I respect that the RCMP have a hard job to do and that they don’t always get the thanks that they deserve, but yeah, some of them who may be ignorant of the laws can cause some undue stress for legal gun owners.

[@AaronJohnTurner]

Hey guys, thanks for these videos. I'm finally getting around to getting my PAL/RPAL next month after being out of the army for over three years and having the firearms itch come creeping back. I appreciate the simple and concise advice!

[@wavular]

Get ready for a four to six month wait from the time they process your application.

[@diazgrajoauin]

I heard when I was taking my PAL course, of someone who got charged because he was carrying a non restricted firearms without trigger lock. Apparently it happened a few times other people also, lack of law knowledge by the officers. So, yes your day will be ruined and firearms taken and such, but No it will not hold in court and the charges will be dropped. so do yourself a favor and put a trigger lock on your firearms when transporting in case you run into an A-Hole of an officer.

[@wolf360090]

yeh they just need to be cased now no trigger lock, but DNR and rcmp here are trying to tell people, they have to get a permit just to transport their bows, and can not shoot them in a grvel pit, and have to be a member of an archery club,,they reword the laws on how they want them to go, since most people think the police are right, if they are fined and just plead guilty..

[@H1Hummer]

That happened to friend a few years ago. Got handcuffed and taking down to the station. Then was released without charges. Although he wasn't charged because he did nothing wrong it was a horrible experience.

[@pranays]

Trigger lock or cable lock and a locked case 3:25

[@pranays]

FYI the cop doesn't charge you they arrest you, and the Crown Prosecutors decides to charge you or not.

[@H1Hummer]

@@pranays that applies to restricted. Different transport rules that apply to non-restricted.

[@kennethallen1155]

The one thing to add to this is that some provinces have additional requirements. NB,NS,PEI, and I believe NFLD have DNR laws that apply to transportation as well. In NB you cannot be in possession of a firearm in your vehicle unless. A.). It is a hunting season and you have a current license for that season, and the caliber is appropriate for the season(varmint season is .230 and under only) B.) You are a member of a gun range and going to and from. C.) You have a permit from DNR for a specific datre, time, and place. After sunset your firearm has to be cased and unloaded and locked.

[@yangionet8116]

What is a permit from DNR ? Is it a permit to transport for only a specific time ?

[@kennethallen1155]

@@yangionet8116 Yes, example if you want to go and sight in your rifle

[@Kyks2244]

Just found this channel.... thank you so SO SO Much! Finaly a great Canadian gus channel

yeah those guses are a great thing! lol I just can't explain how i fire my guses...lol

[@mathewgreyell4924]

Your videos are awesome. I think some more useful content would be how to become a PAL/RPAL trainer, and gun range legislation specific to opening your own range indoor or outdoor. I’ve been going through all of that recently and it would be great for some of that content to be explained for others in the future

[@Drunkfistkid]

Hey man! Know it's a kate question but did u successfully get an indoor/outdoor range approved? And what state ubin?

[@davidrobins4025]

Thanks for the great video and clear explanation of the law for restricted and non-restricted firearms.

[@MrOshimaida]

Hey Rod, thank you for shining light on the subject.

[@Robert65659]

Really need to update this one. Long term transport is not required. This video has caused a ton of grief. Please update

[@paulthorsteinson1793]

Thank you very much for this video Rod, but I think we should mention that any Canadian that owns a handgun, restricted or prohibited knows everything that you have said here like the back of their hand. It is the non gun owners that don’t have a clue.

[@National757]

Glad I am an American citizen. In Nevada my loaded handgun can be on my side almost anywhere I go open or concealed with my CCW permit. And my AR-15 can have a full magazine inserted on the front seat of my vehicle as long as there is not one in the chamber. Or one loaded in the chamber if not in my vehicle. With any size magazine I choose.

[@moonsoutgoonsout3262]

Lucky. I'll get arrested and face charges up to 15,000$ if a police officer sees my .22 Lr pistol

[@amasoak47]

Americans in California and other States aren't as lucky as you.

[@Grayman58]

Great law God bless the USA .

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

Note that some ranges require all guns to come onto the range cased. So even a NR gun may need a case anyways.

[@ohcliffy]

Those are policies of private businesses, not laws.

[@ohcliffy]

@@stevemisfit1 You really should because as I am sure you know that NR's only requirement for storage or transport is that it be unloaded and out of view, if possible. That's it. There are always going to be guys that go full on ridiculous when given a bit of power, like the one who was dogging you over nothing, I bet he is in charge there right?

[@Realshippy]

Good information... I already knew it but I still enjoyed it .. just got my RPAL so I’m excited 😅

[@shawndoyle6460]

So glad I live in America. ... after watching this video

[@ianherries6350]

Could I carry a firearm by bicycle ? (unloaded, locked by cable or trigger) and in a bag that conceals them. This question is for both restricted and non-restricted firearms going to a range or gunsmith.

[@TheMoonIsAConspiracyTheory]

@@Psynova :D Would be pretty comical: guy happy & smiling riding on a bike with a gun-shaped bag over his shoulder.

[@humblehunk9022]

It was asked before, but what if you dont have a vehicle, but are within walking distance of where you plan to shoot? Are you allowed to walk with a gun/gun case to you destination?

[@mrdirtdart2239]

I have a couple questions and a comment. First, I love your videos! You should consider running for politics. We (Canadians and gun owners) need a guy like you to represent us. The question I have is, I own a Nissan Titan truck, it has a fiberglass cap on the box, however despite the window above the tailgate having two locks, a lock on the tailgate and locks on both side windows, I do not feel comfortable transporting my firearms in the box. I welded a half inch thick steel plate box that is attached under the back seats. When you lift the seats in the back, there is a complete steel box with a lock similar to a dead bolt, once that is unlocked, the lid lifts up in the same manner as the seats. Inside the box I have that foam insert stuff, the same as a gun case. When you open the back door and look in, there does not appear to be anything unusual there because I even put the same carpet on the outside of the box as the floor of the truck. Would this receptacle be considered sufficient for transporting restricted firearms? It is a completely sealed half inch thick steel box that is bolted to the floor of the truck from inside the box and it is pretty much hidden.

[@mikew8849]

What if I want to transport my non restricted rifle by bicycle or by foot? Should make a video on that.

[@thibertbrandon]

mike w you can’t don’t be an idiot. So many people hate on firearms and look for every reason to complain then theirs people who say/do dumb shit

[@Mr.Titanium1911]

No trigger lock for NR firearms?? I’m surprised as I would never even think of transporting in this fashion.

[@colinpdoyle]

I'm still trying to decipher this, but I beleive that a person without a PAL can transport a non-restircted fire arm, provided it is secured per the legislation. The legislation says that a firearm may be transported in an "unattended vehicle". It defines 'unattended" as : unattended, in respect of a vehicle, means that the vehicle is not under the direct and immediate supervision of a person who is 18 years of age or older or to whom a licence has been issued under the Act. (non surveillé). Am I misinterpretting this??

[@tingchan4770]

What if you don't have a a car?

[@darrenmcquade215]

FYI, Folks these are the Federal laws enforced by the RCMP or local Police Dept. In New Brunswick, Non restricted firearms also fall under provincial law, which is enforced by DNR (Dept National Resources). In New Brunswick; without a range membership, you are only allowed to move your firearm with a valid hunting license, 48hrs before the season opens, to 48hrs after the season closes. It must also be unloaded, cased or in a locked compartment. So if you have a varmint or bird license, you are allowed to move a rifle under 22cal, 24hrs before the season opens, through the season, until 48hrs after the season closes. Any other movement of a firearm outside of hunting season; even buying a new gun from a dealer, will require an Authorization to Transport, which can be obtained from DNR.

[@MichaelSmith-bs5oo]

It looks to me as if it has been made so difficult for us,that it makes us not want to bother and pretty soon it will be like England or Australia,where the only people who have guns are the criminals. Then we will be defenceless .

[@polkhigh3333]

Are ATT’s built into the RPAL’s now? I go to the range with a friend and he only carries reg. Certs.. Yes, it is a REAL friend.

[@thaik56]

Now or at least in Québec maybe, you need to carry with your shooting range membership card too

[@MrDaltonater]

ATT's regulate the transport of Restricted firearms, however in some provinces such as NS, NB, NL, and QC, the provincial wild life acts stipulate further restrictions on NON RESTRICTED firearms such as when and where you can transport them, and state you need permission to transport from the province if you don't fall into pre set categories such as transporting while you have a hunting licence, with the caliber for the animal your hunting, going to the range, and or taking a gun home. There was a post on CGN about this in New Brunswick.

[@civiladvantage]

Makes it SO DIFFICULT to comply. Makes you think that's the goal doesn't it?

[@MrDaltonater]

Would sure seem that way. Under the guise of "stopping poaching", yeah ok..

[@gatesm14]

Good video brother. Nice and simplified.

[@CanadianCountryBoyJ]

Great video, good review for current PAL holders and valuable info for anybody looking to get a PAL. Just a quick question though, is it legal to have ammo ON your gun during storage or transport? (as in a side saddle on a non-restricted shotgun kept in a locked container)

[@civiladvantage]

If you have your gun in a locked case you have exceeded the law. You will be fine. Just no ammo inside the gun, then it would be legally loaded.

[@daveyjonesjr.8878]

Is this still up to date? Also, can you did not mention how the ammo/ammunition needs to be transported ? Thanks for your videos

[@headhunter257]

I had a guy tell me on the way to my shooting range I can not stop at cabelas for ammo I can only go from a to b then b to a so he was trying to tell me I can't stop for ammo... I thought that was pretty silly as its a gun store.

[@ErebosOfChaos]

Say I have a handgun and I'm on my way to the range. I lock the handgun with a cable lock, and lock it in the same container as a loaded magazine (with the magazine out of the firearm)?

[@DiabeticKripple]

perfectly legal

[@MustangDarkHorseGuy]

100%

[@mpdetailing4348]

Why do you need a locking device at home for a non restricted but not in your car?

[@MNG69]

Great Video. To add regarding ATT's, on my LTATT (Long Term Authorization to Transport) and all of my friends who recently obtained one, the Ontario CFO has added conditions, stating to the effect that I can only transport restricted firearms that are registered to my house. Which means I CANNOT transport borrowed restricted firearms (sneaky bastards). Additionally, Chris Wyatt (Ontario CFO) has added another condition that you must produce a written invitation from the shooting club to which you are going to if you are not a member. This has prompted lots of clubs to issue an open invitation letter on their website for people to download and keep with them during transport. Gotta love CFOs.

For a ristricted firearm like a hand gun. Can I have a empty magazine left in my gun with a trigger lock on the gun and ofcourse in a locked case for transportation. I don't know if your allowed to have a empty magazine left in the firearm

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Great video my friend!!

[@civiladvantage]

Thanks man!

[@tinpea]

Very informative video! You mentioned you can legally transport a borrowed restricted firearm with an LTATT to pretty much any certified range (with invitation). Is it possible for a friend (in Ontario) with an LTATT to transport a "borrowed" restricted firearm to a range while the owner (without any ATT) tags along with him?

[@SilvaAtLiveDotCa]

does it have to be a hard case or can it be a range bag with a lock on the zipper?

[@seasmoke5151]

In general, how do you recommend transporting ammo and what is legally required?

[@elchulo950]

Hi about to get my pal. I hear You said unrestricted firearms aren’t registered. Does it mean you can buy them used and just keep at home ?

[@williamdale4348]

I have a restricted PAL. But no gun. What if my PAL expires and I have no gun what happens

[@nathanmullin2680]

What about a range back for restricted firearms. I got a range bag that has a spot for 2 handguns and the zipper has a loop big enough to for a lock. Is that completely legal? I also have a soft bag/case for my ar that I can put a lock on the zipper. Is that ok also or do they need to be hard cases?

[@dylanolson747]

I know there’s not a certain quality of lock required but would I get in trouble if I used a zip tie as a trigger lock

[@blainepasutti9712]

What about NR transportation on foot or motorcycle ? I use a scabbard ..

[@marknieuwejaar1075]

Would a pistol ie: pellet firing pistols shooting over 495 fps be considered as restricted weapon's in. Canada ?

[@hruskamify]

Newfoundland firearms owners be reminded, lol... According to Wildlife Act 107(1) your firearms must be "wrapped and securely tied" in an "area known to be frequented by wild life", which in NL means the Trans Canada Highway, probably your back yard, and almost anywhere! Yes, moose have been known to visit downtown St. John's :-P

[@tomski2671]

Is it acceptable to leave a restricted firearm in a locked car?

[@-0__________________________0-]

[@ndspndsp30]

lol no they CANT. they can stop you and ask questions yeah but thats it. the most they can do is call for a k9 and if the k9 smells something they after that they can.

[@TheNaxzor]

Ndsp Ndsp Yeah...technically they can't search your car but they can come up with any excuse to do so. It will then be up to the lawyers. They can demand your license and registration. There's a good summary here: svan.ca/police-rights/

[@Douginont]

As a driver I'm pretty sure they can question you and search the vehicle as they see fit. As a passenger you have more rights. Technically, if it were a traffic stop as an example, you don't have to ID yourself. Speeding from a bank robbery is a different story.

[@wavular]

yeah, and then they call for a dog and tell you the dog signalled and then you HAVE to let them search, you know how it really is!

Thank You in advance.

[@nimkeek5883]

As of 2024, is it legal to leave restricted firearm in locked but unattended vehicle? Is it legal to do multiple stops (eg gas station, gun store etc.) on the way to the shooting range?

[@david37376]

You need 3 layers of protection for restricted. Locked car, locking device, locked case, when transporting by car.

[@Depraved6]

shout out from Kelowna B.C awesome videos. soo i am very new to guns. ill be the first to say that it is obvious. now this is a topic i am interested in. I want to get into hunting so i'm getting my PAL and everything and have been considering getting my RPAL (will give reasoning shortly), but to my question with a bit of backstory which brought me to this channel. now I do alot of prospecting for gold and trail walking out in the sticks which I love. the lack of people was kind of the point of getting into it plus its just alot of fun and who doesn't love gold right? I have come across bears and coyotes before, lucky for me they just ran off like most do, hurd a cougar way off late last summer super cool. but im worried about the ones that wouldnt run away. now I was looking into RPAL for gold panning and trail walking. seemed like a reasonable thing to have along side bear spray. yes bear spray works the majority of the time. but it has not worked at time too. if that critter realllly wants you its more then able to " play though the pain" lets say. now the research I've done so far its alittle unclear for me probably because i am new to this information. I wanted to get a handgun for when I am out prospecting/hiking, rifle when hunting. if you have the PAL and RAL and got an ATT I would think that would be ok. but if the only legal reason to own a handgun is for target shooting? so the only place you can take it to use it is in the range? side note if thats the case how are people legally taking handguns out with them when they go hunting in canada?? another thing I found is that you can be authorized to carry a restricted guns certain circumstances . (link provided) www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/wild-sauvage-eng.htm so heres an example, if i had a gold claim, which you are required to work a cretin number of hours often out in the middle of no where. now quoting from the link. "To be authorized to carry a handgun or restricted long gun for a lawful occupational purpose, such as trapping or working in a wilderness area" just some thoughts trying to understand this matter. to me its more practical having a handgun on my hip when im out panning or running my sluice, because its always right there. where a long gun is going to be.. well not right next to me unless I am constantly picking it up and moving it with me which just doesn't work since your hands are full with pans, buckets, shovels and whatever else you have for mining. where a handgun.. well its right there if needed. any help and comments would be great for some input Thanks! :)

i have a question i have been unable to find the answer for. I am taking a trip to Alberta and BC from Ontario. We will be passing through the US on the way, driving from Michigan to North Dakota, possibly spending a night or two along the way, I was thinking about bringing one of my restricted firearms, probably a pump shot gun for in the truck. I was wondering if its possible to legally transport if over the border? and which laws would need to be followed while in the US? If you could either let me know or point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!

[@MotoJunkie23]

What exactly is the definition of "unloaded"? No round in the chamber? No rounds in the magazine? What if it's a detachable magazine? Can you have a loaded detachable magazine next to the rifle but not in the rifle?

[@DiabeticKripple]

unloaded means no ammo in the chamber, or in a magazine inside the gun. loaded mags are ok to have next to a rifle

If you get pulled over just don’t say any thing you have the right to not say any thing you can say to the officer “ sir I do not answer question “ if they ask to search the car tell them “ sir I do not consent to any search” but this is where it gets trick if the tell you “ I’m searching the vehicle “ and give you a reason then you have to let them if they ask for the key or combination for your box don’t say any thing and let them break it “ lawyers love this “ if the break the case it shows that they never had consent to search. But most importantly do not lie the the officer when in doubt shut your mouth

Sorry if this is a silly question but what is the exact definition of unloaded? Is a pump action with shells in the magazine tube but not in the chamber loaded or unloaded?

[@kalvinnoble488]

It would be considered loaded, even if shells are only in the magazine tube.

[@davidji2030]

Is it obligated to inform the police you have firearms and show pal when get pullover or only when asked?

I don't plan to buy a restricted handgun anytime soon, but just curious as this info seems hard to find. If I did get a handgun sometime soon and do not own a vehicle... How do I legally transport it to the range? If I trigger/cable lock it, then lock it in a a hard case, then put it in a backpack and either walk or ride a bicycle, is that considered concealed carry and therefore illegal? Or would that be a legal way to transport it?

Going for my PAL but I don't have a vehicle. How would I transport a non-restricted rifle without hassle? I live in Montreal, BMW is the way to go. (Bus, Metro, Walk.)

[@davidji2030]

Then just do everything he said other than put it in the trunk, get a case, unload the gun, and you can take it any where on foot or public transportation (non restricted of course) other than the gun free zone like schools. And I also heard some people carry their guns in a guitar case, since sometime people might get freak out when they see a gun case. Check out Hazard 4 Battleaxe, it's a gun case that shape like a guitar case, and you can wear it like a back pack.

[@stratulatus]

Hi Rob , Where do we get an Authorization of Transport for restricted? Thanks

[@rpaulpen]

Thanks for the vid series. Great job. Question: regarding non restricted, you don't discuss how ammunition needs to be transported along with the firearm. For example: If my NR unloaded and behind my seat, can ammo be back there unlocked?

[@civiladvantage]

You are not obligated to lock ammunition. Also, you can have ammunition in a locked case along with the firearm, restricted or non.

[@rpaulpen]

Civil Advantage Thanks, but is there any rule like "not within easy access" or can it be storied beside the firearm?

[@civiladvantage]

Not in transport. Those phrases appear in storage and display.

[@ProclusX]

What if you are travelling from the point of registration in one province to a cabin in another and you intend to spend 3 months there?

[@kalvinnoble488]

Since you are travelling from your province of residence to a different province, you are required to contact your provincial firearms office and the other provincial firearms office to obtain an Authorization To Transport to transport that restricted firearm across a provincial border.

[@JB101inc]

Hey Rod, I know you're a busy guy these days. How would you interpret this in relation to storing non-restricted firearms in an RV or trailer, say on a hunting trip? Is an out-of-sight firearm, stored in a trailer with a locked door lawful??

[@maxreuv]

Invaluable

[@philipzhang9087]

Is there ant requirement for the type of lock?

[@richardeipl3092]

hwy rod don't know if this is true but when I did my pal for my non restricted I was told by law cops are not allowed too touch your firearm without a warrant? is this true ? I believe they have too ask if u are transporting and then request rtoo see it. which u have too agree with and only you can touch it.

[@TheMrT83]

so once you get your papers to transport, you just need to take that with you? you dont need a different one everytime or let the rcmp know everytime you wish to go to the range??

[@junglemastah]

Good vid, thanks

[@briankerr4512]

I use a brief case so it does not look like a gun case but is still locked. ;)

[@potatodonut8185]

Is this information still valid?

Does the ammo need to be store separately? In theory I could store my non restricted rifles in some foam underneath we the spare tire cover in the trunk with the ammo next to it?

Can you take a non restricted firearm to a private property like a farm and shoot??

[@wavular]

yes you can, as long as your on crown land and have a pal.or if someone who lives on the property has a pal.

does ammo have to be stored separately with a non-restricted firearm? I have heard that it needs to be separate but I have also been on many trips where my friend stores the ammo next to the gun
