Canada enforcing new laws for bringing guns into country
Powered by Topix.net
If you are planning a deer, caribou, moose, bear, elk or waterfowl hunt in Canada this year, be advised that regulations will be different concerning bringing firearms into the country.
Effective June 1, a one-way handling fee of $65 (Canadian) will be collected for firearms transport.
As before, rifles and shotguns are accepted as checked baggage only, and must be unloaded and you must sign a declaration form attesting to the fact that the gun is unloaded. But now the firearm must be inhibited from being fired by using a secure, locking device mechanism on the weapon.
The firearm must also be packaged in a specially designed, non-see through case that cannot be broken into during transport.
Ammunition regulations now follow American guidelines: Ammo is only accepted in checked baggage and must be packaged separately from the firearm. Ammo allowance is limited to 11 pounds per passenger.
Gunpowder and gunpowder or blackpowder pellets are prohibited. Ammunition must be packed securely in a strong container of wood, metal or fiberboard, plainly marked 'ammunition,' or in the original inner carton.
To avoid shock movement, the carton must be placed inside a suitcase and cushioned with clothing.
