Is there some kind of cheat sheet for where one can and can’t discharge non-restricted firearms, at least related to public land? New to firearms and want a place to practice/plink. Not many options for ranges or friends with land within a reasonable distance. Tried searching on Google and digging through my PAL course handbook but couldn’t find anything really clear. Any direction appreciated.

Get the ihunter app, pay for the subscription. Shows all crown land, reverse land private land ext.

If you can hunt there you can shoot there, safely of course.

If it’s hunting season I’ve heard ideally should also get a hunting license or sometimes will be prone to get into trouble
