Anyone know if you can check and store a legal firearm with customs before entering Canada?

 

I'll be curious what you find out.

 

I usually just pistol whip the guy at the border crossing and ride on in.&nbsp\\;

 

&nbsp\\;
hee hee,&nbsp\\; might be a plan if I wanted to stay in Canada.&nbsp\\;

Greetings,
The last time we crossed (in Montana) I stored my weapon in a small bar in Sweetgrass. The bar has a large gun safe and is a known storage location, as recommended by the border guards. I believe that they charged me $20 to hold for a week.

Went up to Canada last weekend. They didn't ask. All they wanted to see was my photo ID. But be safe and read the link above.

 

Canadian supreme court - "All guns are capable of being used in crime. All guns are capable of killing and maiming. It follows that all guns pose a threat to public safety. As such, their control falls within the criminal law power."
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\; I guess knives and even automobiles would fall into that category?

I checked mine with customs 10 years ago. It was no trouble.
