Mt. Vernon, WASH. | If you've EVER had a DWI you can't get into the GWN either as a driver OR passenger. Also, if you smoke, you need to declare and usually show the quantity of tobacco you have, and if it's deemed to be excessive it's confiscated as coffin nails are REALLY REALLY pricey in Canada and you would be considered as a smuggler.
Best plan, leave the pistole' at home, go get an enhanced drivers license or take your passport, mostly so that ICE will let you back into the States. |

| No offense, but I'm in no hurry to ride in Canada again. Plus we didn't care much for the 3rd degree we got at the border from Canadian authorities. |

Mt. Vernon, WASH. | My experience has always been pleasant and friendly and brief with 99.999% of Canada's Border Folks, it's the dicks with ears on our side that make you want to just turn around and look into 'Landed Immigrant' status. |

New Bohemia, VA | Thanks for the information. All I can say is "you've been warned". As much as I would like for it to be, not everything will go my way, nor will I agree with everything. But it is what it is... |

| Six friends of mine just got back from a ride in western Canada. They left from Seattle but they're all from Texas. They enjoyed the scenic country but the border police gave them a hard time. They all have a CHL as many here do and although they left their handguns at the hotel they and their bikes were still searched. They said it will be their last trip to Canada. |

Really!You should be on the receiveing end of your border authority. Not a very pleasant group to say the least. That said it doesn't stop us from coming down & enjoying your country or your company.

It is much better to have it and not need it,than to need it and not have it.

I doubt those of us that do care one way or another. My point exactly, which makes it no point. Both sides will vehimently stand for their view and some dead down the middle. The real issues is rights and priviledges and the law. Who cares whether any does or does not carry and for what reason, as long as I can if I chose. In canada, that is already settled, has been forever. Until it changes, what is the point of the thread unless you've been living in the dark ages. It's kind of like bringing up the fact you roll with a car tire when nobody cares.

Bancroft Ontario, Canada | Gota say folks......i have many guns including revolvers,,,,never had to carry one for self defense,,,,have traveled most of the US (probably more than many US citizens)....never ever figured i had to carry a gun into the US.....why would anyone think they need to carry one into Canada....????
As far as the border we are subject to as many questions and regulations getting into the US as you are getting into Canada
If you can't get in to Canada with your history then we couldn't get in to the US with the same history. |

Yes on the US DHS.
I can assume you never hunted with a handgun? It is a real challenge. |

I won't be offended in the least if you don't carry.
If you do, please do so legally. I am highly offended by those that break the law with illegal carry. It makes those of us that observe the law look bad.

Edmonton Alberta, Canada | When we used to have gun racks in the back window of our trucks, nobody cut me off, no one gave us the finger.........it gave a little bit of respect!! I still remember when you were able to go to a bar with a knive on your belt! Do I carry? No, Would I carry.....In certain circumstances, but I have not come accross one yet in nearly 50 years! But I don't live in a large City! Even the small town I grew up in, there has been some $hit happening that would make me wanna have the gun rack over the head board at night!!!! |
