Anyone know; if you go to Canada hunting; do you have to "register" your firearm?
Found this on about.com: Bringing guns into Canada
Handguns are a definate no no, however. Prominent signage at every border crossing.
Hope that helps.
You MUST declare it at the border. I don't think you are permitted to take handguns into Canada amymore.
No but your guide does and the natives are none to happy about that.
Imagine having do catch a plane to Whitehorse to register a gun that you use to hunt your food.
If I remember correctly, Clinton made a deal with Chretien that Canada would require American hunters to register their firearm(s) when they came to Canada. Whether this was ever instituted I don't know.
We haven't registered ANYTHING and don't intend to either. All our guns are lost.
Yes, you must declare and positively identify (serial # etc) your firearms at the customs office on the border.
You'd better hope and pray that your gun hasn't been delared "unsuitable for import", or it will be confiscated whether or not you fully enter Canada or not (inspection stations are conveniently located on Cdn soil).
In addition, all your information about your firearms you bring into Canada is immediately sent to the FBI, BATFE, and anyone else who happens to be interested that day, like the RCMP and most local cops.
