Border crossing- Bear spray?
This summer we will be traveling from Glacier N.P. to Banff. I was wondering if we will have any problems with carrying bear spray at border crossings.

Those folks have NO interest in learning the way to travel in bear country, all they want is their own personal picture of that cute cuddly teddy bear.
Well I spent my entire 40+years career working in the woods - survey party in N. BC; Banff nat'l. Park as a seasonal Warden, research with Canadian Forest Service and the final 25 years chasing bugs etc. throughout Colorado. BUT - I never used any animal deterent (chemical or firearm etc) and never felt that I needed any! Learn the rules for traveling in bear /cougar etc country and use your common sense!
