I bet $ 10 it's federal felony. At least you could spend quality time with Striker.

Nope, I know very little about the wacky canadian gun laws, but i got into an argument over this with some dumbass canadian liberal on one of the DU type sites so I looked it up. There are guns that are "restricted" ( I could be wrong on the terminology) and can only be possessed after something like a training class and test and application,then they can only be carried to and from a range.

Centerfire rifle magazines are restricted to maybe 5 rounds.

All firearms taken into canada have to be registered with the government and if you even borrow a gun to shoot or hunt in Canada you have to pay a fee for that just as if you bought your own gun.

Quoted: If you were caught at the border?

By caught do you mean.
Customs: Hello welcome to Canada..do you have any firearms in your posession?
You: yes.

As of January 1, 2001, visitors who do not have a Canadian firearms licence will need to report their firearms to customs at the border, complete a non- resident firearms declaration form in triplicate, have it confirmed by a customs officer and pay a $50 (Canadian) fee. Once confirmed, this declaration form will act as a temporary licence and registration certificate while in Canada and is valid for 60 days. Visitors may renew their temporary licence any time during a 12-month period without paying an additional fee. Unlicensed non-residents who plan to borrow a firearm in Canada must obtain a Temporary Borrowing Licence. Visitors will be able to purchase ammunition with Canadian firearms licence, a confirmed firearms declaration form or a Temporary Borrowing Licence. Firearm owners visiting Canada will be subject to the same safe storage and transportation regulations as Canadian firearm owners. They are prevented from bringing in firearms that are prohibited in Canada and restricted firearms will require an  Authorization to Transport before they arrive at the border.

You: No.
(Get caught via search or some other means..you are now in posession of an unregistered (restricted, depending on type) firearm in Canada.
As it stands right now..and depending on what province you get stopped in and by whom, you could get charged,firearm seized,fined.
The reason for this is most provinces have refused to charge anyone under the firearms act and are referring all charges to the feds. If your caught by a municipal or provincial officer you might get charged..you might not. You can bank on losing your gun.
If you get caught by a member of the RCMP you most likely will be charged.
If you are caught with grand dads model 94 I doubt the consequences would be as severe as if you were caught with a handgun (restricted) or an AR(restricted).
Magazine capacity up here is 5 rounds for center fire rifles with a detachable magazine and 10 rounds for handguns.

Firearms act

Would they fine you and confiscate the gun and bar entry?  Throw your ass into Canadian jail? What if the police discovered you inside Canada?  What's the penalty?

You would most likely be arrested although with the current situation up here..who knows.
If you were arrested you would most likely get a notice to appear (in court) and sent on your merry way. Failure to appear in court will get you  a warrant for your arrest. However..depending on what kind of mood the judge is in..it might be a warrant of arrest with a 50 mile radius of the place you were suppose to appear in, province wide or Canada wide.
The arresting dept is responsible for the cost of getting you from where you were arrested on the failure to appear warrant to their pd. Most aren't going to spend the money to fly you from Vancouver to St Johns Nfld for a firearms charge.
If they did throw you in jail..it would be a provincial jail, not federal.

Quoted: The word was floating around Michigan that the state was sharing CCW permits with the canucks so they could fuck with us when we went though.

We don't have CCW in Canada so that rumor is total BS.

Quoted: A couple oddities about US vs Canadian gun laws is that in Canada .22 rifles are exempt. 30rd Butler Creek mags are perfectly legal there while ILLEGAL here in the US due to the AWB. Also they have no import ban so Chinese AR's, European stuff like Sig rifles, are completely legal there. They are restricted to 10rds on rifles, 4" barrel length minimum on pistols though.

Take a peek here. wolverine supplies
I drive Wave crazy with guns from this company all the time..like the Sig's!

I think what Happyshooter means is that Michigan is sharing a list of everyone with a CCW permit, so the Canadian border cops can give them extra 'special' attention.

Oh..well that is a prick job..but our Customs agents are conditioned to ask anyone with a US plate if their armed!
