Crossing the line.
I'm gonna be visiting friends and relatives out west. The mrs wants to swing through the great white north, visit Niagra, and head home through PA.
What's the word on crossing into Canada with weapons...and then crossing back into the States with the same?

Not going to happen, especially with handguns...
Also, make sure you have passports.

I was thinking the same as you guys. However, another guy on another forum posted this site...
http://canadaonline.about.com/gi/dyn...Fvisitin_e.asp Non-Resident Declaration...info in there tells me otherwise.

If you want to come over and you only have long guns (non restricted rifles & shotguns (btw the AR-15 and all varients are restricted in Canada) you can get them over with out registration with the declaration (do the paperwork in advance)
As for Handguns.. forget it, they are restricted in Canada and the regulations can be a real pain. Read through the site that you posted and you will fun tons of info that will confuse you. Heck I live here and it confuses me.

I`ve carried rifles to Canada a few times hunting. As said handguns are a quick trip to jail, as I recall handgun ammo is also frowned on.
You need to register long guns on the US side as well as declare them on the Canadian. The BP needs to know they came from the states and you`re not smuggling them when you try crossing back home. The registration is a one time per gun thing and is good for ever once it`s done. Personally I think it`s as good an example of "back door registration" as you`ll find. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/va...d.xml#Firearms

One of these days I will head down that way for something (been wanting to try Turkey) though I will do the paperwork to bring my own south...
The funny thing it that it is harder for me to bring my rifles down there, then it is for you guys to bring yours up here..
