We spent the summer in Alaska last year and in all but one case the Canadian Border guards were courteous and cooperative, however there was one coming back into Canada from Alaska that had a REAL problem with anyone carrying a legal firearm. A military wife was moving back to lower 48 and the shotgun was in her husbands name and the guard berated her constantly about why anyone would need a gun in Canada, “ no one shoots anyone here”. Of course this was just after there were 3 people shot by two young guys. As I handed him my paperwork and the signed paper of Canadian Border authorities to originally enter Canada, he said to just have a seat that it would be about 90 minutes. I thought I had misunderstood him and ask 90 minutes? His answer was “ Yeah when you bring a gun into my country you can just wait until I have time. Thankfully about 30 minutes later the supervisor came back and processed both my and the military wife’s paper in under 5 minutes for Both ! I wish I had written his name down. A real winner attitude.
