Crossing Into Canada with a Firearm

Wow! Lot's of replies that don't seem to coincide with one another. Here's the law as I've discovered it on the RCMP website http://www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca : It states clearly that US Citizens traveling in Canada can carry firearms as long as they meet the following criteria and you have your paperwork at the ready (NON-RESIDENT FIREARM DECLARATION Form) when you reach the border:

A non-restricted firearm is:
- An ordinary rifle, shotgun or combination gun that is not described below
as being restricted or prohibited.
A restricted firearm is:
- A handgun that is not a prohibited firearm.
- A semi-automatic, centre-fire rifle or shotgun with a barrel length less than
470 mm (18.5 inches) that is not prohibited.
- A rifle or shotgun that can fire when its overall length is reduced by
folding, telescoping or some other means to less than 660 mm (26
inches).
- Any firearm prescribed as restricted (including some long guns).
A prohibited firearm is:
- A handgun with a barrel length of 105 mm (4.1 inches) or less.
- A handgun designed or adapted to discharge 25 or 32 calibre ammunition.
- A rifle or shotgun that has been altered to make it less than 660 mm (26
inches) in overall length.
- A rifle or shotgun that has been altered to make the barrel length less than
457 mm (18 inches) where the overall firearm length is 660 mm (26
inches) or more.
- An automatic firearm and a converted automatic firearm.
- Any firearm prescribed as prohibited.

Seems clear to me that my particular two firearms as I described them should have no issues at the border.

Comments?

classification of firearms means nothing to this conversation. you can't bring a handgun through Canada.again,if a Canadian can't carry through,what makes you think an out of country visitor can? you can apply,but you will be denied,regardless of what the "law" says.
