Hello;
If you're coming to Canada leave your firearms at home.  If customs find
it, you will lose it, and have to pay a hefty fine and be detained until
they get their money.  This is guaranteed to ruin your trip.  You won't
need any weapons in Canada anyway.  we're all good guys here.  Most border
crossings have dogs, you know the kind. so don't expect any breaks there
either.  I recently read in the local paper that they were getting one drug
smuggler and two gun runners off every sailing of the MV Coho, which docks
in Victoria harbour twice daily.
Once you're here you can pretend your Canadian, nobody will ever know.
Notice the courtesy, manners, and lack of tobacco smokers.
I've passed through the states many times and am always surprised by the
differences, particularly in the east.                  Larry Carter
