Thread: The Law - any clarity?

There is no legal definition I believe. The key thing is not to piss your neighbours off. No angry neighbours = no problem. Angry neighbours = problem.

That is true. I have a good relationship with my neighbours - who are happy that I'm killing bunnies. They are happy i bought suppressors so my centrefires are not so loud. ( I wanted them anyway so this gave me a reason to buy them ) They're Not happy that their little dog gets upset - but they are happy that I tell them when I'm going out so they can put the mutt away. They're happy I dont shoot all day long - but then I have the privilege of being able to walk out my backdoor with my rifle in my hand , so I dont want to push it ... any extended testing I now go to a far corner away from the houses. Its all about a little bit of give and take without bending over and taking it

Like most things around the Arms Act, it come down to the interpretation of the AO in question. When I thought I was in the right and the AO in the wrong (the matter in question was around the storage of bolts ammo and rifles in 3 seperate locations) I had no hesitancy in contacting the Police Head office for clarification - which came in my favour.
