In conversations with our local CO(great guy) he's also said that using any part of the vehicle(quad/truck/etc) as a rest is also illegal.

Yes law is no loaded firearms in or on a vehicle. People have been ticketed for learning a loaded firearm against their truck

Is that in just hunting instances or for all sport shooting?

Firearms law not a hunting regulation

So basically if you have a firearm in or on your vehicle it has to be unloaded. Regardless if hunting or sport/target shooting.
Got it

Yes, if you are resting the firearm on the vehicle or you are standing in or on the vehicle. If both your feet are on the ground and you are resting your elbows on the truck while you shoot, you are legal.

Just proves that we CANADIANS are too stupid to be able to handle firearms like our smarter AMERICAN friends. Who are much more adept at handling all sorts of firearms. They can shoot em off ATVs run with them loaded and they are so much smarter than us Canuks caus they can also carry handguns loaded on their person, in a vehicle, to restaurants, and hunting.
Dam I wish we were smart as em!

Ja thats just dumb! You gotta be a complete fool to drive with a loaded rifle. Unbelievable !!!

Or you could just be an American...... just sayin..... Pretty common, and legal in a lot of states. I do agree with you though. not the smartest thing to do.

I get running around with a loaded weapon is a faux pau, but your taking a shot from a vehicle, outside, from unloaded to loaded outside and resting on the hood or whatever, seems fine to me, what’s the diff from parking and leaning on a tree or log?
Just seems silly but may be more behind it
