Transportation questions.

No you cannot not. You must store them at home, and after work travel and pick them up. Your ATT does not cover your place of work.

Yes picking up a friend while heading to the range is fine. I stop for a bite to eat and a coffee. Before I head home from the range on Friday nights.

Thanks for clarifying! Much appreciated!

Just one more question, is hardshell ammo box a must when im heading to the range or can i just use any bag to carry ammo?

You don't need to transport ammo in one case vs. Another. You're not required to lock up ammo fitting transport either. You're required to keep non restricted empty and restricteds empty and locked up double.

I use the same backpack for ammo as I use as a carry on when I fly. Needless to say I check real carefulill for loose rounds before I go to the airport.

I heard of a case some time ago when someone had some loose shotgun shells in the cupholder of his car and he was charged for that.

What would they be charged with? Extra points if you can even find the actual file.

This might be a case mentioned on the cssa website under "legal" or something like that. Sounds familiar either way

Apparently it happens....Ed Burlew recommends you transport your ammo in a locked container, even though there is absolutely no legal requirement to do so, because people have been charged by overzealous officers for transporting unlocked ammo. I'm guessing they invoke careless storage or negligence or something or other, which of course will be defeated in court, if not dropped just before trial. In the meantime, you lose your firearms, your PAL is suspended and your lawyer sends you his bills.

Edit: I see Yogi beat me to it. I gotta learn to read forward before replying. Patience. Meh.

Better not open the trunk of my buddy SUV. Last time I've seen it. A box of 12 ga broke open and they were rolling around in the back for months.

Any bag. 98% of the guys I shoot with just throws it in whatever ( PB jar, to proper ammo dividers ) and into a range bag. As long as the gun being transported by law. It doesn't matter.

I always thought this was silly. It will cover my hotel room when traveling to shoots in other cities but won't cover my vehicle in my own city.

That being said I am probably one of the lucky few whose ATT does allow me to take his restricted firearms to work but still :P

Rcmp freind of mine I shot with said, " direct route, no stopping at canadian tire for ammo "

One thing I've learned, never ask an RCMP Officer about Firearms Law
