Just looking for some practical clarification on restricted transportation and storage

I'm to understand by the RCMP website that I do not need to apply for an ATT when heading direct to a recognized range within my own province with a restricted firearm. Correct? And if so, this is all well and fine for local ranges around me.

But what if it's a bit of an overnight thing? That's the part I'm a little confused about logistically. I live in the lower mainland, if I went to the Okanagan or further north to use their ranges for whatever reason, I'll likely not be coming back the same day, so what's the play in that situation?

I'm sure im overthinking it lol thanks

So long as you are taking a direct route, even if it's over the course of more than one day, it should be fine.

And yes, your RPAL extra conditions sheet functions as an ATT to Provincially recognized ranges. You still need one for Federal ranges (Connaught for example) or to go to a gun store for serving the restricted firearm.

Probably a dumb question but would you have to go directly back after 1 visit to the range?

Say I'm going toronto to thunder bay

I drive up Friday, go to the range Saturday

Do I need to head back to Toronto Saturday or can I steal a day and go to the range again Sunday then head south?

Should be fine.
