Whoa! Don’t want any of that to happen!I had a friend who told me he knew someone that had a handgun and was at the Canadian border when they searched the toad and found bullets which led to a search of the motorhome and they found the gun. He spent two days in Canadian jail at the border let out and told to get out of the country and do not return. I’d be very cautious about taking a gun into Canada.
Thanks!Meh, handguns they're pretty uptight about but I've taken an M1 Garand on hunting trips in Canada before and they didn't care. They in my experience actually much more consistent with their gun laws than the US. I doubt he'd get much grief over a bolt-action rifle, especially if he's checking it in with border patrol in Canada.
Thanks!Here is a link to the form for permitted firearms. You need to verify what you are bringing is allowed.

Especially with recent times up there. Laws have changed in the last years, and attitudes with it. Get your paperwork in order before even approaching that border.

When caught, go to jail! Americans crossing into Canada will absolutely be asked about firearms. Failure to declare will result in being fitted for silver brackets, irrevocable confiscation of firearm(s) and the risk of vehicle(s) being impounded. There's no 2nd chance and 2nd amendment means nothing.Don't ask, don't tell.
Don't get caught.When caught . . . . . . . .
Don't get caught.
I've been known to drive 37mph in a 35mph zone before too.
Just take a shotgun, declare it, fill out the forms, spend fhe 45 minutes talking about it, have a cup of coffee with the border guys, get the sticker, and be on your way. Its really not that bad in the grand order of things,There are also some other restrictions in Canada that we in USA might not be aware of such as illegal folding knives.
What is a typical carry knife in the US is illegal in Canada.
And if you happen to have a Carry Permit you can expect to be grilled about why you feel the need to have a CCW, what guns you own, where do you keep them, etc.
Honestly the more I read about this, the less interested I am about crossing the border. I'd like to see Quebec city again, but the risk of border crossing issues is just too high.

Sweeping Canadian Law Bans Many Folding Knives
Travelers to Canada will want to double check all their bags following the country's prohibition on many knives still legal in the U.S. and elsewhere.gearjunkie.com
D D don't leave your NRA sticker on the bumper, if you're not going to declare.Don't get caught.

Last time I crossed into Canada they didn’t even ask about firearms. They asked about chicken. Because they had a bird flu in wild ducks that originated in Canada so they banned bringing any chicken products in from the USA. Made perfect sense.When caught, go to jail!
