mrwhite1 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) I am a law enforcment officer and will be traveling to Niagara Falls next week. We were debating about driving over to the Canadian side but I know you are not allowed to have handguns in Canada. Is it possible to leave my firearm with border agents or US agents and pick back up later? Any other recommendations?

Tiny Warrior Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I highly doubt customs will look after your gun so you can travel to Canada.... (you are allowed to have handguns in Canada...just need the right paperwork/reason) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegot38 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Free legal advise. Under New York State Law, unless you are a New York LEO and/or have a concealed carry license that is valid in New York State, you will be breaking New York State law by bring the handgun into New York State from Ohio ragardless of whether you are carrying concealed. The Federal Firearm Owners Protection Act would probably not help either. You also cannot leave the guns at Border Patrol/Custom as they are aware of the prohibitive New York Statute. Michael P.

New York thinks they are above Federal Law. They just do not get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserb Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) You may try the RCMP information section on firearms and traveling to Canada with firearms. http://www.rcmp-grc....t/index-eng.htm There is a lot of information in both English and French.
