....just for your edification, you are correct that there is a list, indeed an insane list, of selective guns that ARE prohibited in Canada.
That said, there are many others that are not. I’ve been in Canada many times and have checked through their border offices with weapons. It never took more than 3 or 4 minutes and was just kind of “slam, bam, thank you sir” plus payment of a $25.00 fee. I once invited them out to my vehicle to look at the guns and they declined.
My reason for being there was my multi year habit of going down the Yukon by myself. I can say that I’ve never seen ANYONE on the Yukon without a weapon and as long as they (the guns) are not on Canada’s list and you seem like a straight guy there is no problem. I’ve even had two RCMJ officers in my boat south of Dawson City. They stopped to help me because I was a hundred miles from nowhere and no people. Inside my boat were guns laying around all over the place. They were two of the nicest and politest young men I’ve ever encountered. And, they fixed my GPS in two minutes!
The problem with the RCMP, UNLIKE the FBI which rotten to the core, is the leadership and the corporate culture. And the fact they have no accountability. Imagine the only organization the RCMP is accountable to is the Parliament. That is too slow and unwieldy. Part of the corporate culture rot is the RCMP just arbitrarily from time to time declares a fire arm to be on their banned list.
Yep. I get it. Beau hunts Black Bear and Elk in Canada. Also fishes there other than the 2 years we were all in PRISON due to CovidBS-19.
He never has any problems getting in and out with weaponry.
These guys committed their crimes with knives, right? However, any local farmer with a shotgun or .22 could’ve stopped them.
Sad situation all around. :(
