I am in no position to speak for every gun range in Canada. I am however able to speak to the rules that I have seen implemented here regarding the use, care and storage of firearms here. The rules governing the use of the gun ranges are such that a "range master" must be present when any use of the range is taking place. As I indicated earlier any attempt to carry your fairearm forward of the firing line will result in your membership priveliges being suspended at best revoked at worst. Adam to my knowledge none of the criminals that use guns to commit crimes are interested in my hunting rifle for said purpose. I am not familiar with the rules around the use of handguns as I do not own one. Canadians do not have the same access to firearms as our friends to the south. I certainly do not see anyone carrying an AR-15 to hunt deer- illegal to hunt deer with a caliber that small here (in Alberta). Our rifle range here where I live has a security gate that you must have a pass for in order to get in. This does not allow those who have no reason to be to to hang around as the "range masters" are the only ones issued said security cards. This may explain why I feel so safe leaving my firearm on the firing line rather than taking it with me.
