All,
New r/pal and CORE here.
I'm sure this is an annoying question to ask but I could not find my answer, in fact searching for the answer has actually produced more questions!
I went to get a hunting license recently (Will leave the location out of this post) "Just in case" we saw some small game while my son and I were plinking with our 22's.
The fellow asked us where we were going and I told him Stave Lake, about 20+ km in on the west side.
He told us we needed FVSAHL and I'd need liability insurance through a "Club" to both discharge firearms (Target Shooting) and to hunt small game. In fact he said I need liability insurance for Target Practice on crown land regardless. My understanding was as long as you have a PAL you can discharge on crown land unless some other law states otherwise for the area.
Would this insurance be through a Gun Club? Hunting Club? What about home insurance?
I noticed that Silvercore does not offer insurance via their membership so that's out.
I'm also looking for a good club to go to with my son. We are in Surrey but are willing to drive about as far as Maple Ridge / Mission. Closer the better. Would like indoor for 22's and outdoor for 100m zeroing if possible.
Any advice appreciated.
