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?

NAL, but definitely not. I wouldn't even rely on that exemption for actual hunting, I don't remember the exact wording but it was something about being allowed to use them to hunt until it's reasonable to have acquired another legal firearm. It's not a real exemption, it's just there to cover their ass when challenged about respecting treaty rights.
