First off let me say that I am all for being able to use restricted weapons anywhere on my farm. However section 17 of the firearms act states that these weapons may only be possessed at your "dwelling-house" or at a place authorized by the CFO (a gun range for example). 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?
