Even if it’s verified as antique I would not go shoot it on crown land just cause the issues you’ll have with shooting what looks like a restricted not at the range. It’s not a smart idea to attract all this extra attention into a sport that’s really been attacked this year because it’s “not safe”

Fair enough. I wouldn't want to be strong armed into the back of a cop car with my shit taken just because they don't want to read or listen. And yes, we don't need any more attention than necessary.

Plus I recall where antiques supposed to also be chamber empty or something I could be wrong

You can carry an antique fully loaded on crown land and I absolutely would feel comfortable to carry if I owned one, the MNR guys that you occasionally encounter are usually far more understanding when it comes to gun ownership than most regular police. If I were you I would attempt to get an rcmp letter that confirms the revolvers antique status to completely protect yourself from any bad interactions with police.
