    Default Transporting hunting or sport shoot weapon unloaded

    83 Storage and transport of firearms and ammunition
    Firearms and ammunition must be stored and transported in the prescribed manner.

    Is it true that a hunting or sport shoot weapon must be transported unloaded?
    I don't see where the "prescribed manner" is defined regarding this issue.

    No. The FCA mandates all FA's licensed under sections 12 - 17 have to be transported (in a public place) in the same manner, being covered. No mention of loaded or not.

    There are provisions in the nature conservation legislation of some provinces for transporting guns with barrels longer than a certain length with empty chamber under certain conditions. This specifically excludes typical SD handguns.

    in terms of Safety, if the weapon is not in your control why would you want it loaded?

    I think it refers to the hoary old tale of S15 and 16 guns not being allowed to be carried loaded...
