Just curious.

With restricted firearms you're first of all limited to only being able to use them at a range which is fine. However you can only transport said firearm directly to the range and then directly back home. You can't for example throw it in your truck and drive to work if you think you might hit a range at lunch or after work. You also need to maintain range memberships and records to prove you use such firearms for such purpose, so even just keeping one locked up and never using it is actually not allowed. So for me the laws are too restrictive to my current needs, I can't commit to being able to frequently visit the range and do so by only going directly there and back home considering I live out of town, too much hassle if you know what I mean. Now I'm aware many violate this but that's not something I really want to do.
