Scouting and firearm question

[johnes50]

Yup, I ALWAYS carry a firearm in the bush now. I've seen cougar and bears when I didn't expect too, and I heard something tearing up the bush once very close to me for about ten minutes and wasn't armed. Now I always carry a firearm.

Get your license and deer and bear tags ASAP in April and always carry your hunting rifle or shotgun and license with you. That way you don't have to go back again to buy your tags and you will be safe in the bush too if one of those nasty critters shows up in a bad mood. I meant bears, not CO's. John

the hunting licence acts as a firearms transport permit. pal only allows you to own the firearm not to transport. you need a hunting licence, or transportaion permit.

Negative.

Some people own rifles/shotguns without a hunting licence. Does that mean the next door neighbour can go out and buy a nice plinking rifle but cannot take it to the range because he doesnt have a hunting licence. NO!

I could carry a rifle/shotgun in the bush without a hunting licence.

icpainballer if you read wsm post he said you need a hunting licence or a transportation licence and is is 100 % right as you need one or the other to transport your firearms

Lets break it down.

the hunting licence acts as a firearms transport permit

The hunting licence acts as a carry permit. It says that right on the BC Hunting Synopsis.

pal only allows you to own the firearm not to transport

PAL allows you to own and to transport non-restricted firearms. If it didnt we would all need ATT's to transport our hunting rifles/shotguns to the range.

you need a hunting licence, or transportaion permit

Yes, you do need a hunting licence in order to hunt (buy tags and harvest game) and carry a firearm while hunting.
You could (hypatheticaly, sp?) speaking take a shotgun with you on the summer fishing trip to a river that is heavily populated with grizzly's without a hunting licence.

If im wrong on any of this please post a link that says otherwise.

If you want to be LEGAL you better know the rules.

I'll just say this "Authorized to transport"

Ya wsm got your PM.

EXACTLY

[Gateholio]

You need a PAL to purchase, own, and transport any firearm.

You need an ATT to transport a Restricted firearm.

You need a hunting licence to hunt. You don't need a hunting lience if you don't intend to hunt.
