If there are too many irresponsible people and giving them guns is a bad idea… why don’t they don’t they all have guns already and why aren’t they flooding crown lands?
You aren’t even allowed bear bangers where these folks died, are you? Parks Canada website says no. That seems dumb.

Bingo.
There is known areas where guys set up makeshift ranges on crown land. Yes, every now and then you end up setting up with someone else in the area at the same time. I've actually made a couple friends over the years doing just that.
However, in all the years I've carried on crown land hiking in the middle of nowhere. I think once I crossed paths with another person with a rifle slung on their back. I think people underestimate how truly sparse and remote the wilderness really is.
