No, I'm not asking about taking a handgun over the border into Canada. I know that is a go to jail kind of thing. But we are planning a vacation trip up towards Ottawa. Driving two days cross US to Niagara Falls, then into Canada for a week. Then back into the US and two more days of driving. Or more.
So I can live with no guns for me in Canada. It is all the long days of driving in the US that concern me. I carry every day in my small town and rural county... but the truth is that statistically it is highly unlikely I will even see a violent crime, much less be a victim of one. But seems to me that it becomes much more likely when we are long distance travelers. I was thinking about it last night and it seems like gun people over the years would have developed some kind of work-around. I'm not putting a gun and ammo into a bus locker. If you made the trip often, I could see getting a bank account up there along the border and getting a safe deposit box. But this is a one time trip. Do FFL's along the border routinely take in guns "to hold them" for people going into Canada? I guess they would have to log them into their book... you could take them to a border FFL for some kind of minor repair and then pick them up in a week?
I'm not really planning on doing this.. I will probably just live with no CCW gun on this trip. But I am curious if people have found ways to do this.
Thanks,
Gregg
