Firearms in Canada - Rampy - 01-02-2024
So I asked the border crossing Canada dude what it takes to bring firearms into Canada….
That triggered a closer vehicle inspection 🤣🤣 and was told no handgun, rifles/shotguns no problem as long as I’ve pre filled out the paperwork & can have a “reasonable” amount of ammunition for each firearm and had a justification for them (self defense is not justification)
American customs asked if we had any firearms & I said no & asked if we did take firearms into Canada what do I need to have proving they were A tme firearms legally taken into Canada & the guy got very suspicious and serious & had us open the topper so he could inspect the bed of the truck as well as the cab of the truck. Was more a visual inspection than anything but he stopped being really friendly
Gas was $1.32 a liter in Canada but max speed limit we experienced was 100kph so we got better gas mileage 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tried to talk the wife into driving up to Alaska but she felt her job is important and skipping a month of school would not be a good idea 🤣

The last time I went into Canada (other than a a situation where my friend had a driver's license snafu), was about 20 years ago. I was told at that time that in the near future I would have to show a letter from a club that I was competing in a scheduled match or have a valid hunting licence with a letter from my guide or outfitter. Also, my mini14 was about to become a restricted firearm, so don't bring it back. Other than the rescue mission for my friend, I forgot how to get up there.

You don’t want to go up there anymore, every time someone figured out I was a Yankee…… they got very apologetic and wanted me to know they did not like or vote for Trudeau 😳😳 Seems he’s disliked even more than Biden is….if that’s possible 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kept getting told welcome to Saskatchewan every time someone saw the trucks license plate and one of us was outside, the people are extremely friendly and nice……
Coming back into the states was an ordeal….radiation detectors, x rays and more as a American citizen
North Dakota is not as remote as Montana, went 75 miles without a cell signal or even seeing a ranch light and then we crossed into Wyoming 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hate going to Canada. Every time I cross the border back into the US I get raked over the coals. Although, I’ve only ended up face down on the tarmac in cuffs once… Apparently they’re looking for a bad guy named John Smith. I ain’t him, but it usually takes them a few minutes to figure that out.
No fun.

Ugh, getting yanked out of your car & thrown on the ground & cuffed…..that’s crazy
it’s harder more intrusive to legally get back into the states than get into Canada
wonder what they would do if I said I’m claiming asylum and my name is Mohammed Mohammad and I’m from Somalia 🤣🤣🤣
