Re: Travel to Canada w/ handgun

I'll add a point. We crossed the Canadian border at Niagara Falls in an RV. As soon as the Canadian agent saw our Texas address, she started questioning me about guns. Did I have any guns? Did I own any guns? Keep in mind that there are all kinds of regulations about what you can and cannot bring into Canada and most RVs are candidates for them to look to see if you have violated one of the regulations, particularly around food and alcohol. To stay current on the prohibitions, you almost have to check their website within 48 hours of crossing. The fact that the border guard ignored all of those and was only interested in whether I had guns at all should speak volumes about priorities crossing into Canada.

Ontario has a different mindset towards Americans than BC, I'll admit. I didn't find the Toronto mindset in Alberta (Calgary) either.
