Traveling from Missouri to Duluth, then looping up through Thunder Bay, crossing the border at Grand Portage, taking 11 west through Quetico/Atikokan, crossing back into US at International Falls, for the 5 hours back to Ely to pick up my son when his contract is finished. Last time I drove into Canada the border guy insisted that people from Missouri always have guns with us and it would be an extremely painful experience to get caught with them in Canada. I didn't have any firearms with me then so I didn't sweat it. Lately, with the changes in our social fabric demanding a bit more vigilance, I've changed my travel habits. Namely no flying and legal CCW where possible. I have no intention of taking anything prohibited into Canada, but was still considering ways to store or cache a pelican case somewhere secure before making the Canadian traverse. Is it possible to get membership in a gun club or range that has storage lockers on site where access is monitored and secure? Do such places exist in Mn.? I don't know Mn. gun laws so if I'm SOL on finding a solution here, please let me know. TIA! |

I can not think of any metro area indoor ranges with lockers? Might want to call Stock and Barrel in Chanhassen 612-888-0540 Bill's in Robbinsdale used to have ammo lockers? |

Already on the road and not going to do this, but wife found rentable storage lockers are available at UPS stores. Also noted that many national gym chains have lockers for rent but you must provide your own lock. Not something I'd try, but probably have at least a degree more security than at a bus station $.25 locker. I like the idea of getting my guns cleaned. That hadn't occurred to me until this thread. |
