In Nova Scotia it’s illegal to shoot on crown land and you can’t hunt on Sundays

Whoa. As an Albertan the crown land thing is wild. So you gotta know some one with some land basically if you wanna shoot.

Atleast for NS sake there is public "ranges" you can book time at, but i hear it can be quite restrictive. In NL you can apply for a temporary sight-in permit on crown or you have to go to a range. No idea about NB/PEI

Yeah they are super picky. The closest one to me only has room for 1 person to shoot, and no semi auto firing is allowed. Theres a sign that says you have to wait however many seconds between follow up shots, super weird.

Those ranges are literally only for sighting in scopes, not leisure shooting.

Technically you can't discharge a firearm outside of hunting season in Nova Scotia anywhere other than an approved range, even on private land. In practice people do it all the time in the country

You can apply for a Nuisance Wildlife Operator license but if you live somewhere where you need varmint control you likely won't have neighbours who care
