Mrs. Miami_JBT and I have been wanting to buy a piece of property somewhere in the north. We're figuring some revenge on you snow birds for invading Florida!



We originally thought about Alaska but it is to far. Canada has always called to us. Soooo.... where should we look? Something in the woods but not to far from civilization. We're city slickers but want a little piece of peace and quiet with snow and trees.




Also since we aren't Canadian citizens what hurdles do we face? I would like to keep a firearm or two on the property we would buy. A Remington 870 shotgun and a M1 Garand a Enfield No1 or No4. I vaguely understand the PAL and ATT.




So what do we need to look into?

Thanks for the info... I will be researching myself. Mrs. Miami_JBT has been to Montreal before for business and loved it.

you can look in Ontario - look north of the Barrie area on www.mls.ca - you can find some nice land in the area of barrie and 2-4 hrs further north.

How are the firearm laws there? Does Ontario make it a pain in the ass to get a PAL and a ATT? I do want to bring up some rifles shotguns, and pistols.

I have quite a large collection of MilSurp bolt actions and semiautomatics that would be legal in Camada. If everything turns out right I plan to keep them up there once I import them into the Canada. Also I have some pistols too that are on the restricted list.
 



I don't plan on taking them back amd forth between the US and Canada. Basically have my Canadian set and my American set.




The ARs, AKs, NFA guns, and most handguns can stay in the US. The Bolt Actions, Lever Actions, some of my larger handguns, and some pumo action shotguns can stay in Canada.

Part of the requirements set forth by Mrs. Miami_JBT are the following.



1. Near a major international airport

2. Indoor plumbing

3. Near a major city for modern conveniences

4. Indoor plumbing with electricity




Everytime we see something in Alaska... it is too remote. We are city slickers from Tropical places like Miami and San Juan.




As for the guns...




Would some of these be legal?




M1 Garand

FN49

SKS

Glock 17L (6 inch)

S&W Model 686 (6inch)

Rock Island Armory 1911

Colt Commander 1911

Ruger GP100 (4.2 inch barrel)

Winchester SpeedPump 1300 Defender (18 inch barrel)

Browning BPS High Capacity (18 inch barrel)

The FN is an Egyptian contract... was never a full auto rifle.













Ten round non detachable magazine in 8mm Mauser.




Here are my two SKS carbines and Rasheed Carbine.








So they have to be pinned to five rounds?





How does the M1 Garand get around the 5 round limit?

Oh, I understand firearm law. Been studying it a little bit. I used to be a a Federal Firearms License dealer and deal in NFA items and remember.... I'm a cop so understanding the law isn't an issue.






I figure the best course of action is to take as many of my non restricted firearms as possible and leave as many of the restricted and prohibited firearma in the states.







My M1 Garand and Bolt guns are great self defense firearms as are my pump shotguns.







My question, is there a restriction on ammunition capacity in bolt action and lever action rifles? Also there are no restrictions on a .22LR rifle correct? A Ruger 10/22 with a 50rd drum mag is legal in Canada from my understanding of the law.







Would a Kel-Tec KSG be legal in Canada?














Everything is a pump except for the FN SLP. They're all over 26 inches in lengths with barrels over 18 inches.












Storage can be in a safe unloaded with loaded magazines not inserted into the firearm and all handguns are on the restricted class except for .25 and .32 cal pistols. They're prohibited by law and those with a barrel length under 105mm.  







So a Smith & Wesson Model 686 with a 6 inch barrel is legal in Canada with a PAL and ATT for restricted firearms. Same with a 1911.

What about a Sig Sauer 522 Carbine and .22LR AR-15?







The GemTech Suppressor would stay in the States.

It is a pump action shotgun with an overall length that is greater than 26 inches. Legal under Canadian laws from my understanding.



Now explain to me the vehicle transport laws. I can keep that shotgun in the truck unloaded with a box of slugs next to it? Can the firearm be "unsecure" or must it be locked in one fashion or another such as cable lock or locked case?

has to be unloaded and out of site in an unattended vehicle.

Must be unloaded during transportation.

Does not have to be locked unless it is restricted.




 
So a Remington 870 under the seat unloaded with a box of slugs next to it is okay? Sweet!




Any restrictions on where one can park a vehicle with a firearm? I figure there has be to some.

I just saw a video of a Canadian firearms instructor explaining unrestricted versus restricted and the manner of acquisition through the permitting system. I am sticking with unrestricted firearms and a PAL.

Damn, Canada is looking better than New York, Massachusetts, and California everyday. I am actually excited about this. Seriously... sure it isn't as liberal as Florida is with firearms and I can't CCW but for a vacation property in a foreign country. Simply being able to do that puts a smile on my face.

lol..he will need to do some "training" before we let him try that. Plus we need a cod fish and an oar..

 




 
Look, as long as it is clear rum and I can make Cuba Libres and Mojitos life is good.




I could be frozen stiff up to my neck in snow.... but I'm still drinking my drinks of "Mi Patria".

Not a fan since most is spiced rum. I've had some good stuff but can't remember the name.

 



By chance was the restaurant in Orlando named "Bongos Cuban Cafe"?








Very good restaurant.

I'll stick with Bacardi... it is from the Patria and later moved to Puerto Rico due to Castro. So it is both Cuban and Puerto Rican. An alcoholic symbolism of my marriage with my wife. A Cuban Refuge and a Puerto Rican Boricua becoming one.

God, don't buy anything in Ontario; but if you're hell-bent on living in that Liberal shithole, look at Kenora.  It's close to Winnipeg and meets all of your other criteria.



Alberta is THE place to live.



There are tons of little towns around Calgary or Edmonton that don't cost a ton but are still "out of the way".
