Genuine question, is there a Province you can ride around with a trigger locked yet uncase rifle legally? Or is this malt lickey type shit?

I know most of the east coast farmers can carry unlocked rifles for varmint / predator control

Yes. And in BC you can have that rifle unloaded and right beside you.

However, when you see an opportunity like this when hunting you have to make sure

  1. You are not touching the vehicle when shooting, even as support

  2. Make sure that road is legal - not within any non-shooting area

  3. That you have a backstop and otherwise make sure your round isn't going to keep going and hit someone driving up that road or beyond

You can shoot from the road in BC? I didn’t think any province or territory allowed that unless disabled.

Sometimes it is a logging road, service road, some gravel access. Not everywhere is a legal highway. In BC there is a distance from a highway that needs to be followed.

No shooting from the road.

In Saskatchewan you can legally shoot from roads, just not along or across them. Surprised me too, but that and the rules around transport described here are what make road hunting grouse a fairly popular way of taking them, not how I like to do it but I've seen it done totally legally. I've also seen a deer shot from the edge of a road that while surprising at the time, was completely legal.

We have basicly identical rules for hunting here in NS as well. Ive heard an RO at my range say they were pulled over for a stop sign and was told all there rifles had to be trigger locked.

I always thought regular transport had to be locked or in a cased for some reason like storage
