I highly doubt any newly licensed firearms owner is gonna search the Hunting Reg's for "shooting laws", unless they have some prior knowledge or acre actually interested in hunting too.
Why would they, THEY AREN'T HUNTING !!!

Elk is right, you are wrong..... and I don't say that very often because he hates the Oilers!
The provincial regulations in regards to the discharge of firearms are contained within the wildlife act. Further restrictions are usually contained within municipal and city bylaws. So if a person wants to discharge a firearm within the province of Alberta for hunting or target purposes they better know the wildlife act and the bylaws.
Examples,
The regulation within the wildlife act which restricts the discharge of firearm to a 1/2 hour before sunrise to a 1/2 hour after sunset also applies to outdoor shooting ranges. (indoor are exempt). Also the 183 meter rule found in the wildlife act also applies to any type of discharge of a firearm, hunting or target shooting.
