I’m unsure of what license you have but are you still allowed to go take your rifles out and shoot at ranges/crownland or can you only collect them?

The CFC no longer issues Special Authority to Possess permits to lawfully transport 12(×) long-guns to ranges where they can be discharged. Bill C10A changed the rules in 2005. If you are fortunate enough to live on land where you can safely shoot, then you are good to go....

So they can never leave your property, but if you happened to live on a rural acreage pre 2005, you could have been plinking away with these for the last 21 years?

Pretty sure you can get ATTs for prohibs for other reasons, like bringing it to a gunsmith, to a business in order to sell it, because you’re moving etc. The law just makes it impossible to get an ATT to take it to go shoot. 

The solution is bring the range to the prohibs, which requires having the land necessary to put up a CFO approved range. Like a restricted, my understanding is that you can’t just shoot it on any old private property.
