If you're that hung up on guns & booze, Canada probably isn't the best
place for you.

No, it is not. It is not a hang up. It is politics and taxes and
reduction of freedom. Please...no flame wars. We have our own
situations here in CA.

Leave your guns, you won't need them. Buy your booze in Canada and, if you
have no felony convictions, customs is not a problem.

I tend to strongly agree. I was armed but never needed it. Very
nice. It is a whole new world there. Quite refreshing. I just don't
get the booze thing--difference between WA and Canada.

I think it's an attempt to control smuggling. In the past, booze &
cigarettes were cheaper stateside so people would go down and buy as
much as they could carry....for their own comsumption or for re-sale.
I live in one of the three provinces in Canada that doesn't border the
states so that may not be as much a problem here.

It's a DIFFERENT country. It has different laws.

If you enter the US from Canada there are also laws on how
much alchol you may enter with - but because Canadian booze
is more expensive nobody does it

Right. So it is not WA vs. Canada, it is USA vs. Canada.
So my CA booze is the same as WA. What is odd is that WA
only sells hard liquor at "state stores." I suppose that
the net result is that any liquor from the US (any state)
into Canada falls under the same draconian rules as WA
origination.

We were in WA over Labor Day weekend and fortunately brought
our favorite Barbados rum or we would have been on beer and
wine only. Strange.
