Carrying Weapons North of the Border (cont)
Just for the purpose of keeping others informed. Please be advised that I spoke with the Chief of Firearms office in Canada last Friday. They looked at a list of permissible firearms and indicated that my particular firearm is allowed...with no restrictions. They also told me that they allow a combined total of 200 rounds to enter the country. I might add that they are very cordial. I would say, based on some entries of the original post, that people are very leery of those that want to carry firearms. I can certainly understand that feeling when "cowboys" brandish weapons. They make me a little uneasy also, but I ask you to notice that I refer to firearms as "weapons". I do that because I want to always remember that these things are capable of taking all types of lives. In the hands of sane, conscious, responsible people; they are safe. In the event that a less than rational person were to use a firearm to hurt people, you may be happy that you were in the company of someone who handled themselves responsibly. Keeping law abiding, rational, citizens from possessing firearms just makes it easier for the irrational to do harm to the innocent....they don't care about laws.
