It's basically saying that you may be authorized to transport your restricted gun for any good and sufficient reason including target shooting at an approved range, or more plainly "we may let you transport your gun for any good reason, and target shooting is a valid reason".

We need CFO approval to obtain an RPAL, to buy restricted guns (transfer gets sent to CFO's office for approval), to transport restricted guns (ATT) and ranges require CFO approval.

Where this gets sticky is that your rural property where it's legal to discharge a firearm isn't a range (no CFO approval req'd), you've already been approved to possess restricted guns at your house/dwelling (CFO approval in the form of RPAL) gun is registered to you at that address (CFO approval in form of registration certificate). Don't need an ATT as you're not transporting it anywhere. You're at home. And there are no laws that I have seen that mention anything prohibiting loading and firing your restricted gun from your house/dwelling in a rural area.

You haven't violated transport laws, storage laws, range approval laws, possession laws, or local discharge laws. So what law has been violated? If there is no law being violated, or there is no law prohibiting an activity, then it is legal.

That said who the hell would want to shoot from inside their house out the window? The minute you left your house dwelling you'd be in a mountain of **** as then you would be violating transport laws (no ATT) and the thing would have to be unloaded, trigger locked & locked in a case.

Like I said it's an interesting thought experiment, but it's practically useless for 99% of us and our time would be better spent lobbying politicians to have the law changed to allow restricted guns to be used anywhere non-restricted guns can be.

Transporting and using prohibited firearms or restricted firearms

The bold underline is included in the heading for section. That would be the key word for using your firearm.
