I just returned from Canada a couple of weeks ago and we took a .30-.30 with us for bears, When we entered Canada We had to declare it and fill out the paper work and pay the fee, that was it if the guy would have told the truth paid the fee he would of been fine. Dumb on his part!

Judge Hoy has rocks in his head if he thinks that any US jurisdiction gives a rat's behind about his weapons prohibition! 🙂

You can bet that it will make a difference whenever he tries to travel anywhere internationally. And should he ever get into any trouble in the US and a weapon is even tangentally involved, it will be an issue. Even the US doesn't operate in a total vaccum.

Our neighboring countries do have strict gun laws and we must abide by them when visiting, but if either country we're to be under hostile attack guess who comes to the rescue. No plans or desires to visit our northern neighbor, definitely have plans for Mexico and their wonderful beaches and will fully comply with their laws as we always do wherever we travel.

I've gotta think about this one for a while. Luckily, I have 2 things in my favor. 1) I have no trips planned to Canada. 2) I don't take my shotgun with us when camping.

At least somebody enforces their laws as they should be. No excuse for lying!
