My dad almost lost his father's Colt service revolver by trying to "smuggle" it into Canada.
Mid 1980's, me, my dad and mom drive from NOLA to Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. Drove from NOLA to Denver, then up through the US Rockies through the Canadian Rockies. Made many stops, saw many things (hiking, x-country skiing, glacier hiking, camping..... WONDERFUL TRIP!!!
At the border crossing, I guess my dad was not good at lying. They seized the pistol. Charged him a fine to get it back. Then they told him about the guy at the filling station a few miles back on the US side that would either hold it for you until your return or ship it back to your home.
They were actually quite professional, and nice (they didn't hafve to tell us about the shipping service).
Waved us through without checking after we went and shipped it....

We had a hidden panel in the RV above the Radio. You had to take off four screws to get to it. I remember that's were the guns and ammo went for the trip into Canada.
