    When sleeping in Grizz country one would be stupid to not have a loaded gun at the ready but I doubt you are allowed to have one loaded at the ready.....you might walk out of reach and then someone bent on breaking the law take it.

    If you are in an area where it is legal to discharge a firearm, it's legal to have a loaded firearm, s long as it is under your control. (You can't leave an unattended, loaded firearm in your tent)

    The exceptions to this would be if there are other, specific laws that prohibit it (such as in your truck)
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    From the rcmp-grc,

    UNLOADED non-restricted firearms can be kept unlocked:
    temporarily if needed to control animal predators in an area where firearms can lawfully be fired ( amunition must be kept separate or locked up); or
    in a remote wildernesss area (ammunition may be kept readily accessible).


    As far as i can tell it can not be in the gun! Like Gatehouse say if you are lawfully hunting.

    .
    That is storage.

    If you are present it is not storage and it's under your supervision and it can be loaded and sitting in your tent.

    You dont' have to be hunting to have a loaded firearm in your possession. You just ned to be somewhere that it is legal to discharge a firearm.

    I think this is for coyotes and dogs on a farm or predators at a community pasture(remote, wilderness)
