This was covered ad nauseum on CGN a few years ago. There seems to be a lot of confusion in this thread. People are quoting storage regs, lawful reasons for obtaining an RPAL, lawful reasons for ownership of restricted firearms, and ATT requirements & provisions.
The gist of it was that if you live in a rural area where discharging firearms is legal, and your restricted firearms are registered to that address you could conceivably & legally shoot your restricted guns from your dwelling. The minute you leave your house/dwelling you are violating transport regulations.
You would still most likely end up in court and would have to fork out big dough in legal fees but it is not illegal to discharge a restricted gun where it is legal to discharge non-restricted guns, it is illegal to transport them anywhere except CFO approved places. Since you never left your house/dwelling you haven't violated transport regulations. The gun is legally registered to you and you're licensed to possess so you haven't violated possession regulations. The gun is not in storage so you haven't violated storage regulations. And finally you live in an area where it is legal to discharge firearms.
Would I do it? Not a chance! But it is an interesting loophole.
