Transporting a firearm....

[Snohog]

Ok so I've been wondering for a while what all do you need in order to carry a firearm in your vehicle? Like being on a farm and hunting and all that it seem legit to carry firearms at times, but I've never really known if I'm doing it legally, yea I got it in a case and it's locked up. So is that it? If I get stoped are the cops going to ask for my proof that it's registered or my FAC (I can't remember the new name for it) I know theirs some people on here that have been through this so a little help would be really appreciated

Yea best to keep it locked. Trigger locks help and ammo separate. I've never been asked for proof of registration to date. But I also Havnt been pulled over hunting in 10 yrs

When Im going out hunting I just lay mine on the back seat until I get out of town limits, then its up front right beside me all day......... not sure if its "legit" but thats how I grew up hunting

Only requirement for a non restricted firearm is that it be unloaded. therefore legally you could hang it in a gun rack, toss it on the front seat or dash, long as it is unloaded. obviously use discretion, but know the law when you get pulled over. Not all cops are too knowledgeable on firearms laws. just remember if you leave the vehicle it is a different story. trigger locked and outta sight at a minimum.

Hi know you need a permit or let the FAC office know if you are gotta go somewhere with a hand gun or any restricted weapons.

And only go to the shooting range, and back home. No stopping for a ice cream on the way home is what I was told.

Don't have to provide proof of registration as its not manditory to register. You will have to provide your PAL/FAC and no it doesnt have to be hidden. Ammow has to be stored seprate. If you leave the truck same rules apply as at home. Must be behind 2 locks. Doors and in a case or trigger lock. Legaly you can leave the gun on the front seat as long as the action is open and its trigger guarded and the doors are locked. There was a big write up in the Dawson Creek news paper about some hunters that had their guns taken even though they were in the right. Cops wern't aware of the rules and confiscated them. Took the guys awhile to get their guns back. That being said some times out of sight out of mind is the best. I normally have one under the back seat or even on the back seat.

One of my guys at work got pulled over last week. Guns were empty and no ammo but still were confiscated. As they were not registered. All guns need to be registered still in canada as they have not abolished the registry law yet. You must have a pal licence and if guns are not your own you must have transport documents from the owner stating who is carrying it, where it it going, who owns it etc. Proof of registration is not needed with you as they just enter the serial number off the gun and it shows up who owns it etc. Make sure the registration matches the owner if transfering someone elses guns.

Storing Firearms Safely[/h]

• Unload and lock your firearms!
• Store the ammunition separately or lock it up. It can be stored in the same locked container as the firearm.

[h=4]Non-restricted firearms[/h]

• Attach a secure locking device, such as a trigger lock or cable lock (or remove the bolt) so the firearms cannot be fired; or
• Lock the firearms in a container or room that is hard to break into.

An unloaded non-restricted firearm can be kept unlocked:

• temporarily if it is needed to control animal predators in an area where a firearm can lawfully be fired (ammunition must be kept separate or locked up); or
• in a remote wilderness area (ammunition may be kept readily accessible).

[h=4]Restricted and prohibited firearms[/h]

• Attach a secure locking device so the firearms cannot be fired and lock them in a cabinet, container or room that is hard to break into; or
• Lock the firearms in a vault, safe or room that was built or modified specifically to store firearms safely.
• For an automatic firearm, also remove the bolt or bolt carrier (if removable) and lock it in a separate room that is hard to break into.

[h=3]Transporting Firearms Safely[/h][h=4]Non-restricted firearms[/h]Unload your firearms
Muzzleloaders can be kept loaded when being transported between hunting sites but the firing cap or flint must be removed.
[h=4]Restricted and prohibited firearms[/h]

• Unload the firearms; and
• Attach a secure locking device to the firearms; and
• Lock the firearms in a sturdy, non-transparent container; and
• Remove the bolt or bolt carrier from any automatic firearms (if removable).
• Obtain an Authorization to Transport (call 1 800 731-4000).

[h=5]Leaving Any Class of Firearm in an Unattended Vehicle [/h]

• Lock non-restricted firearms and locked containers carrying restricted or prohibited firearms in the trunk or in a similar lockable compartment.

• If the vehicle does not have a trunk or lockable compartment, put firearms and firearm containers out of sight inside the vehicle and lock the vehicle.

• If you are in a remote wilderness area and cannot lock your non-restricted firearms inside your vehicle, unload them and put them out of sight. Attach a secure locking device unless they are needed for predator control.

[h=3]Shipping Firearms[/h]Firearms must be unloaded, packaged and shipped in a safe and secure manner to deter loss, theft and accidents.
[h=3]Displaying Firearms Safely[/h]Unload and lock your firearms!
Here are the rules for displaying a firearm in your home.
Ammunition cannot be displayed with, or accessible to, the firearms.
[h=4]Non-restricted firearms[/h]

• Attach a secure locking device to the firearms; or
• Lock the firearms in a container or room that is hard to break into.

[h=4]Restricted and prohibited firearms[/h]

• Attach a secure locking device to the firearms; and
• Securely attach them to something that cannot be moved.
• For an automatic firearm, also remove the bolt or bolt carrier (if removable) and lock it in a separate room that is hard to break into.

Some rules may be different for firearms displayed away from home– for example, at a gun show.

I dare say that everything between Kamloops and Sudbury, Ont is a remote wilderness area. Welcome to Canada.
