The ownership only authorises use of the firearm within the property of the bearer of the valid permit and those who, being temporary or permanent residents, take up this defence role.

Sport firearms may only be used during shooting and hunting activities, in accordance with limitations established in the Act and the regulation, in particular provisions on the protection and conservation of natural resources.
