Re: Wrong turn into Canada leads to arrest for gun
It does work both ways. Our Canadian friends would leave {stuff} with us for disposal when they headed back north. Being the gracious CG Hosts that we are, we would see to the proper disposal of the {stuff} before it could be declared contraband at the border.

Its not just the Canadians:
On our visit to the end of Route 1 in Maine we entered from the Canadian side. Asked by US border patrol the reason for our trip into the US. I told the truth. "We are going to the end of Route 1 and return to Canada and resume our vacation." Which then received the, "pull your car into bay 1" This is the first time I have been separated from my car during one of these inspections. At least my wife and I were not separated and questioned separately.
After an hour inspection of the car a number of items were brought in for our identification. Both our toilet kits were singled out. Inside was each of our 14 day medicine kits, with a snap container for each day of our trip. We had to identify each of the pills. That is for high blood pressure. That is a beta blocker. That is for colerestral. That is a fish oil tablet.
We were chastised for not keeping them in the perscription bottles, but our pills were not comfiscated and we were finally allowed go to the end of Route 1 about ten minutes away and return into Canada.
Luck of the draw or they wanted to discourage spending ten minutes in the US and returning to Canada.

Re: Wrong turn into Canada leads to arrest for gun
We went up to beautiful Fernie, BC from Flathead Lake a couple summers ago. Going in we were asked why we're entering and if we had any guns with us. We answered, 'to visit our new friends and no'. On our way back into Montana, the US Border Patrol guy asked if we'd bought any liquor and, we answered, 'heavens no'. Texas plates notwithstanding, our border crossings were without drama.
