ranges are made for safe discarge of firearms.
the are there for that.
now read the law before you start to shoot that gun in public again

if you read that link you will see your gun is a prohibited device and will be treated the same as a real firearm. in witch if you are found with such a device in public.... even if you are in your backyard... you are not alowed to use it..
and to reply to your other question .. not all pelet guns are baned in the citty ... you are right about that but it must meat standers that the police have deemed as not resticted.

"These are air guns that are not powerful enough to be classified as firearms and that do not resemble a real firearm closely enough to be considered a replica. An example would be a harmless air gun made out of clear plastic or a device that is obviously a child’s toy. "
as for airsoft falles into this
quote
" 3. Air guns that are replica firearms
These are air guns that are not powerful enough to cause serious injury or death, but that were designed to resemble a real firearm with near precision. Replica firearms, except for replicas of antique firearms, are classified as prohibited devices. "\
also here is a bi law for the citty of st jhons NS
http://www.stjohns.ca/ByLaws.nsf/wByLawNum/1316
quote
" 3. Except as hereinafter provided it shall be unlawful for any person to fire or discharge an airgun in the City of St. John's. "
so it depends on your citty laws
i know for a fact you can't discarge a BB gun in montreal even in your backyard.
so next time you think that it's ok to just shoot your new AEG or GBB in your backyard you might be doing something stupid
just becuse you dident know that the law is there dosent give you the right to do something stupid.
now...
please for your own safety don't do that...
your just asking for something bad happen to you..... and what some people are trying to tell you is that you could hurt someone or hurt yourself.. and we don't want to see it happen to you or anyone else..
just try and use your brain before you act and say to yourself ... himm is this a good idea?
