For 90 minutes they pulled my car apart,demanded the password to my laptop and asked me a million questions about guns.
They found nothing so they let me in...and I've entered Canada many times since with no problems.
I have a pretty common name so all I can think of is that a guy with my same name was on some kind of firearms watch list.Either that or they were just bored that day (there was only me and a pickup truck with Alaska plates there at the time).
Those dirty bastards I wasn’t around. I will not and have not tolerated poor treatment of anyone Americans or Canadians coming in. I didn’t waste 10 years and go over for 3 tours so I could watch people be harassed at a border for no other reason than because they think they’re untouchable and have prejudices against things and people. I’ve also seen some non Albertans in Alberta harassing a couple from GA once. I was grabbing my morning coffee at a McDees and had the pleasure of witnessing this. Those non Albertans won’t be back, at least not in that city. Sometimes max aggression is needed. It’s a main route to Alaska and I’ve only run into a few retarded Obama/Biden supporters. Most I run into are real Americans. The border is a joke though and most of us are tired of their idiotic shenanigans that they seem to get a free pass for.
Some years ago my husband drove up to Canada to deliver a trailer full of rifles to a police department. After doing mountains of paperwork to do this he gets to the border and they just waved him through. With a trailer full of firearms.
And you got hassled? Makes no sense at all.
