I called the border crossing agent at Coutts, Alberta a few years back and asked if they had a locker or safe to store my hand gun. They said some border crossings have that service but not there.The agent did give the number of an individual that would store my hand gun in Sweetgrass, Montana. Sweetgrass is the U.S. border crossing there. So I did that. We we're questioned additionally after being instructed to go into another area, and after that we were instructed to pull our truck and 5th wheel into a building for a search. I was immediately asked if I had any guns, (we we're from Colorado at the time, lol on Texas residents) so after being questioned in detail about my handgun and where it was and a 45 min search of the truck and trailer we were on our way. Just for a laugh, there was a Canadian UPS driver there were I was leaving my gun in Sweetgrass, he rolled up his shirt sleeve and pointed at his arm and said " This is my right to bear arms in Canada" lol.
