A traveler accidentally crossed into Canada due to a GPS error. Upon requesting to turn around, he was denied. So they searched his car and found a Bersa in his console.

Canada has their own set of laws of firearms and for him accidentally breaking the law, the fault is on him. But regardless, this shows how terrible laws can get you in trouble even on the most minor offense. Be responsible gun owners out there fellas.

My old man tried to enter Canada with a pistol back in the 1980's. The border guy must have known. he told me dad to show him the gun or they were gonna tear the car apart looking for it.

My old man showed him. They confiscated it and then offered it back if he paid a fine (which he did). Then the agent told him about a drop ship operation at a store on the US side who would ship the weapon back home to you.

It was my grandfather's gun which I still have today. Glad we did not lose it. Of course we never did actually enter Canada with it, tried to though.

I flew into Canada with my shotgun back in '07. I had all my documents and such but you could tell they were serious about the whole firearms thing.

Coming back into the states was no big deal. No paperwork just had to declare it.
