The guy is an idiot, but why would anyone in a boating group want to
read about some idiot in Nova Scotia carrying guns in his plane?

probably wouldn't Reggie, but if one wanted to, I suppose it's there.
But yes, you're right in your agreement. The guy carrying his gun on a
plane? is an idiot.

How do you sneak in when you land your plane at an international airport?

If Waylon Smithers wasn't such an idiot he'd recognize this as solid advice
for anyone thinking of travelling up this way.

Don,

I wonder how many people in rec.boats think it is legal to lie to a
custom agent? I wonder how many people will now be informed since Don
has given us this solid advice. I wonder if Don is going to cut and
paste a news article every time a US citizen breaks the law in Canada.
When the custom agent asks you if you have any firearms, I am sure
Don's posting another one of his cut and paste news article will stop
them from lying to the Custom Agent. Wow, now that is some solid
advice. If someone is going to break the law by lying to the custom
agent, it really doesn't matter if they know they know individual laws,
they plan on breaking the law, and hopefully they will be caught.

If you really wanted to provide solid advice, you probably should
actually provide some information that can be helpful (from the US State
Dept:

IMPORTATION OF FIREARMS: Firearms are strictly controlled. As of
January 1, 2001, visitors bringing firearms into Canada, or planning to
borrow and use firearms while in Canada are required to declare the
firearms in writing using a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration form.
Multiple firearms can be declared on the same form. At the border,
three copies of the unsigned declaration must be presented to a Canadian
customs officer. The declaration will serve as a temporary license and
registration certificate for up to 60 days. The Non-Resident Firearm
Declaration costs $50 (Canadian). Visitors planning to borrow a firearm
in Canada must obtain in advance a Temporary Firearms Borrowing License,
which costs $30 (Canadian). The form must be signed before a Canadian
customs officer and the fee paid at the border. In order to save time
at the border, Canadian authorities recommend that visitors complete the
declaration form, but that they not sign it, and make two copies of the
completed form before arriving at the port-of-entry. Requests made at
the border for photocopies of the form may be denied. Full details on
this new policy are available at the Canadian Firearms Centre website,
http://www.cfc-ccaf.gc.ca, under the heading "Visitors to Canada." The
Non-Resident Firearm Declaration and the Temporary Firearms Borrowing
License applications may also be obtained from this website.

Canada has three classes of firearms: non-restricted, restricted, and
prohibited. Non-restricted firearms include most ordinary hunting
rifles and shotguns. These may be brought temporarily into Canada for
sporting or hunting use during hunting season, use in competitions,
in-transit movement through Canada, or personal protection against
wildlife in remote areas of Canada. Anyone wishing to bring hunting
rifles into Canada must be at least 18 years old, and the firearm must
be properly stored for transport. Restricted firearms are primarily
handguns; however, pepper spray and mace are also included in this
category. A restricted firearm may be brought into Canada, but an
Authorization to Transport permit must be obtained in advance from a
Provincial or Territorial Chief Firearms Officer. Prohibited firearms
include fully automatic, converted automatics, and assault-type weapons.
Prohibited firearms are not allowed into Canada.

In advance of any travel, please contact a Canadian embassy or
consulate, or the Canadian Firearms Centre (http://www.cfc-ccaf.gc.ca)
for detailed information and instructions on temporarily importing
firearms. In all cases, travelers must declare to Canadian Customs
authorities any firearms and weapons in their possession when entering
Canada. If a traveler is denied permission to bring in the firearm,
there are often facilities near border crossings where firearms may be
stored, pending the traveler's return to the United States. Canadian
law requires that officials confiscate firearms and weapons from those
crossing the border that deny having them in their possession.
Confiscated firearms and weapons are never returned.

The poor guy, he didn't know it was against the law to lie to the Custom
Agent. ;)
