Importing a Firearm or Weapon into Canada
F Y I
I spent a couple of hours rummaging through different forums in search of info regarding importation of a handgun into Canada. After pursuing several well-intentioned but dead links I finally came up with:
Importing and Exporting a Firearm or Weapon into Canada
on the Canada Border Services Agency website. It appears to be complete and current WRT bringing a handgun into Canada. My read is that (if your paperwork is ALL in order) it still depends entirely on the Canadian border services officer on duty as to whether or not you have a "valid" reason for importing the weapon. As much as I'd like to take ours along on a long trip (that includes Canada) methinks discretion is the order of the day and I'll leave it home.
P.S. Don't forget that this info is worth precisely what you paid for it. ;)
