I'm wondering if after writing this you started putting 2+2...guns are legal in Canada...go see "Bowling for Columbine"...apparently, many Canadians have

guns, but they just don't use them to kill people very often.

Only certain guns are legal for the socialists to the North, basically hunting bolt actions and shotguns. Incidentally such guns are usually many more times more powerful than most pistols. Ohio and Florida are the main source of illegal guns in Canada, so me being a gun owner from Ohio with a house in Florida, I got extra scrutiny. Quite a testament to their databases. One of the women customs agents spoke of their distaste for pistols, so in reply I mentioned that just last week I shot a Para-Ordinance .45 belonging to a buddy. Para-Ordinace is a gun manufactor from Ontario. While in Toronto I read that some employees from Para were caught selling gun parts to whoever wanted them- It appears that gun control doesn't work for them either. You can travel to Canada with a rifle, you just have to declare it along with the serial number which they record and where you're going to hunt or camp or whatnot. Regards, Matt-
