Canada & Guns
So, I have been told that hand guns are not allowed when crossing into Canada... and shotguns and rifles are probably more of a hassle than you want, unless you are specifically going there to hunt......

Canada has had the requirement for a passport, or Nexus card, for a number of years. Traveling with a Card only, allows you to pass through a border faster. But each member of the vehicle must also have such a Card. If you plan on flying back to USA you will require the Passport, not a card, as international flights require a passport. Something to think about if you become injured or need medical procedures. Remember that each Canadian hospital lists the costs for those without inclusion in the Canadian system. Those costs are expensive without having other travel insurance coverage.
Some VERY wrong info there friend.
All you need to enter Canada is proof of citizenship, a birth certificate and hoot ID such as a drivers license to verify you are the person listed on the birth certificate is all that is required.
Heading back into the US they get stickier, but it’s not impossible by any means.
As for the Nexus Card, it IS proof of citizenship and as good as a passport, it is ALL you need to cross either way, by land sea or air.
