Guns Do not bring guns! They are not allowed in Canada, not even hunting rifles. Hunting rifles are allowed if it is hunting season, but it is not hunting season, don t try. The only option is to declare your guns, which will be held at the border crossing until you return to the same crossing, this may not be convenient.
