Do you shot IPSC? If you do you have the gear you need. If you don't you need a 9 x 19 or larger handgun, at least 50 rounds in mags, a belt, holster, mag pouches, eye and ear protection. As well to take a firearm onto the USA a foreign alien you will need a form 6 from the US ATF as well as a Canadian ATT that allows you to go to any border crossing.
