Since the Wildlife Act prohibits the discharge of a firearm in the Province of Alberta (other than an indoor range) during the prescribe time, the Firearm Act makes it illegal to also load your firearm during this prescribed time.
Do you know why you can't walk down Jasper Avenue with a loaded rifle?
It is because the Edmonton municipal bylaw prohibits the discharge of a firearm within city limits. That is why if a golf course wants to use a firearm for animal control they need to get written authorization from the bylaw office.
The rule apply's the same......
If any legislated rule prevents the discharge then the Firearm Act prohibits you from loading.
