[QUOTE=catnthehat;1664817]Hmm, I seem to learn something every day!
Last week while huntign , one oif the guys explaoned that if we were going elsewhere to a diffeeent site, he would have to take his double flinter apart ( hooked breech) , but it was no sweat because he had set up his case foor it.
I asked why, because I was alwys of the though that "no caap or powder in the flash pan " was the rule.
NOPE!!
The FLINT has to be removed from a flint lock if you have a charge in the barrel, he explained!!
Here is the quote from the CFC website
Storing and transporting black powder firearms
[quote] As set out in regulations supporting the Firearms Act , individuals are required to store and transport all firearms, including antique firearms, safely to deter loss, theft and accidents. All firearms must be unloaded for storage and transportation.
Exception: Black powder muzzleloaders do not have to be unloaded when they are being transported between hunting sites if their firing cap or flint has been removed.
What a really nice double Flinty it is too, It was a hoot to shoot. and Some of the regs are beyond comprehension, written by fools with lil or no common sense
