Exactly Rick, if Jax had bothered to read his link he would have seen
that the only circumstance that might allow a bringing a restricted
weapon (all handguns) into the country would be participation in a recognized
shooting competition. Tooting around in your sail boat with one just doesn't cut
it.

I am sure that if the authorities (police, coasties, customs inspectors ...) were
to board your vessel and find any sort of firearm onboard, would go pretty much
ballistic. If it were a hand gun the story would probably make the front page of the
National Post.
