I live in Oregon like you. I'm no lawyer, I appreciate the thorough and to me, fair treatment of people who want to own a gun. Answers to your questions and more can be found on that wiki page regarding Canada's gun laws.What are the rules regarding handguns? Can I keep a loaded revolver in my headboard? Can I drive out to the woods and point-shoot Prestone jugs at 25 feet with my single-action Colt just for the fun of it?
In any case, let's say the answer is no. You can't keep a loaded revolver in your headboard or go into the woods and plunk milk jugs with your hand gun. You could plunk milk jugs with a rifle from what I've read but still must store the gun in a safe with a trigger lock. Is it worth it to you that 8,000 more people should die by gun homicides each year so that you can have the fun of plunking milk jugs in the woods with a hand gun or store a loaded gun in an unsafe manner by your bedside?
