- Passin_ThruExplorerInquired at gun stores and no one would keep ours for reasonable price and we wanted a different exit port so needed it held and shipped. Registered it before going across and they asked a few questions at the border, looked at it to make sure it was locked, out of reach and unloaded. Canada is not unreasonable except you need to read and follow the rules and not say its for self defense.
- Community AlumniI have deleted several posts that were off topic. The OP asked about where to store guns before entering Canada, any response other than to answer that specific question will be deleted.
We all know too well the direction that gun threads to usually end on this forum.
... Eric (Moderator) - Russell_CliftonExplorerWe just returned from Alaska this week. I can store your gun for you. We live north of Settle about 30 miles, about 2 miles off I-5.
- RollnhomeExplorerSumas crossing. 10 bucks at grocery store on left before crossing.
- garyhauptExplorerThere was a mention of leaving all weapon bits and pieces behind. Ammo, mags, lock boxes...all will bring a more in-depth look-see at your vehicles. The theory is that where there is smoke....there is the likelihood of things that fire. Leave it all behind with whomever you store your stuff. As it is, you will probably be asked about your ownership of weapons...computers know all.
Gary Haupt - Old-BiscuitExplorer IIICall/inquire FIRST with gun shops/pawns shops/ Brokers etc.
Confirm first..........have a plan.
Don't just stop by when at border expecting to 'drop off' your gun(s) (and all ammo/clips/gun cleaning supplies etc.)
Not all places will store weapons. - CarrierExplorerNot sure if they still do it but some the freight brokers on the USA side used to have storage for firearms.
- bgumExplorerTake it to a gun shop for a good cleaning.
- sch911ExplorerA Gun Store, or Pawn Shop. Make sure you offload all ammo, clips, etc. Those will get you in trouble too....
