Flying to Canada: Best Practices

[Short Track]

Air Canada is specific about no ammo in gun cases. And Air Canada will label your luggage as containing ammo.

It's not a TSA rule in the states.

They've recently stopped doing that. Now there is a little sticker on on the luggage tag they put on. The "steal this one" big orange label is not on any more. I flew with handguns in May ( locked box in a suitcase) and it was the same way.

Handguns in Canada, Eh? Only illegal for non-Canadians, but you guys can still have them, right?

Yeah I'm eager to hear this too. An American can get a handgun into the country legally?

So far.... but the day isn't over yet!

Depends what for. Competition shoots, yes. Hunting/self defense, no.

If you read the firearm import form, handguns are perfectly legal. Don't listen to me, don't listen to internet chatter. Just read the declaration form.
