So while your registration certificate may list your rural address as your home it would appear that the only place at your rural address that you are allowed to "possess" or handle your restricted weapon is at your dwelling-house. On the other hand this should also make shooting off your attached deck acceptable and legal?
All the act pertains to is the possession, not the use of. If it does not say you cannot do it, then it does not say you cannot do it.
