Going to the cottage this weekend with my homies! Bringing a shotgun with me and we will hit some crown land, we will be staying at an AIRBNB. Any pointers? I know firearms always unloaded, but other than that since it’s NR should be cool to keep inside with me, out of my car?

1) Check local (municipal) bylaws.

2) check air bnb rules?

3) store it safely. Lock it up extra good so your friends can't get it too

4) you sound new ish to firearms (and I assume friends are too) and in unfamiliar territory. Either of those are enough to say you should not mix any alcohol when using a firearm.

5) it's impolite and maybe illegal to shoot at night (depends on location).

6) treat the firearm (and make sure friends do to) seriously. Fucking up with a firearm can be life changing.

7) normal rules of firearms, seeing up a firing line, safety, etc.
