RE: Hand Gun In Canada
To OP's original question: apparently the answer is yes. From our local (Sarnia ON) paper in this article just over a month ago:
Parliament has imposed a no-weapons approach at the border. But there are consequences for telling customs officers the truth about guns, said Robb .
A person declaring a gun can leave it at the border to be collected upon their return. A person declaring a gun who wants to keep it can simply return to the U.S., said Robb.
"We don't like holding onto guns. We would prefer they leave them at home," said D'Amelio Swyer .
Multiple signs on the bridge and approaches remind people of the legal requirement to declare firearms.
Those charged because they did not declare their gun are being required to post steadily increasing amounts of bail in cash. Locally, $35,000 has been the largest amount posted. Recently, two Americans charged in B.C. had bail set at $50,000.
p.s. The typos are fairly typical of our local paper!
