Weapon storage before entering Canada

[bob213]

I have a 17 state CCW and usually travel with a weapon in the TT. Plan on taking a cross country trip next summer and at some point (probably Vancouver) crossing into Canada. I know I can't carry a weapon into Canada. Is there anywhere where you can rent a storage locker or something similar for a weekly fee to store a weapon before entering Canada? Has anyone ever done this or heard of it?

Thank you. Unfortunately most concealed carry weapons(mine ...anyways) have a shorter barrel length than the minimum 4.1" that Canada allows.

I like the cleaning and tune-up idea...

Drop them off at a gun store for cleaning and tune up. Free storage and a cleaning.

A lot of gun shops don't want to deal with it. Because they are a firearms dealer there is a lot of paperwork and registration of sorts involved.

Most any licensed Gun shop
The one I would have recommended closed last spring after an ATF audit showed nearly 2400 weapons had not been registered at time of apparent sale.

Gun shop or store. Or a pawn shop.

Sumas crossing Bromley's Market $10 for a year.
