For those who don't already know this, yesterday I was out looking for a moose riding my atv and ran into some CO's. My rifle was in a kolpin scabbard, in the softcase zipped closed. They asked me if the firearm was loaded and I answered, "No there isn't a round in the chamber". He then asked if there were any rounds in the magazine. I said "yes the magazine has rounds in it, but the chamber is empty". He asked for my rifle and I handed it to him. He proceeded to to tell me "your firearm is considered loaded even though there isn't a round in the chamber", and I got charged for carrying a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle. So I asked him when did an atv become a motor vehicle? He replied a couple of years ago the definition of a loaded firearm and motor vehicle both changed. So I started asking more questions and basically everything in BC is now classed a motor vehicle, even e-bikes. Another gov't overreach cash grab. I got a $230 dollar fine.
Well that definitely does suck, I think you are lucky to have only gotten a fine. In sask you would have likely lost hunting privaledges for a few years. If things went real south firearms and vehicle also would have been confiscated.

Magazine with bullets in it, even if not "latched" has been classified as a loaded firearm for decades in sask. I know of many people in sask who have gotten in a buncha ch!t for it over the years.

Most of our hunting zones you cannot use a OHV for anything other than retrieval.

As for hunting in Alberta per the hunting regs you can not shoot from a boat at game unless said boat is human powered or at anchor. Also can not have ammo in breech, chamber or magazine while moving. Page 28 number 7 of general regs
But you can set up a Fricken tent downtown any city or town and smoke crack and ch!t on the street and not work a day in your life and assault police officers, stab people, whip your d out and piss on a train station and scream at people lol. This is getting ridiculous. plucking liberals!!!

Yeah well you can't squeeze water out of a rock.. no point in trying to go after people who have no money and nothing to loose.

That may very well be true, but you keep beating down those that contribute you will be left with nothing but those that have no money and nothing to loose.
