Milsurps / Prohib First Nation Hunting Exemption in OIC

Since there's an exemption in the OIC that allows natives to hunt with their prohibited firearms, would I be allowed to take said firearm to the range to "sight it in" for hunting in the fall?

I'd recommend talking to a lawyer or your band council. They are the ones who will be fighting in court if needed.

My understanding is that the provision allows use only until you can get something else. So i would be concerned that they (the law) may think that by the fall you could have turned it over and gotten compensation (in their opinion) and thus you shouldn't be needing it to hunt in the fall.
