This is ridiculous. Is there no common sense anymore?
If the border guards don’t want him to bring his gun in, turn him around.
I am trying to get the gun laws changed here thought too, where I am, everyone has them, and nobody has problems with them. It’s time the government stops trying to squash our rights.
He forgot he had a handgun in the console while going into Canada? Yea right! If he actually did forget he’s a moron. I’ve hunted in Ontario and Manitoba 6 times with a rifle and a bow, theres some things you don’t forget.
There's a lot of missing information in this story.
Turning him around would be the easy/common sense thing to do, but don't expect common sense to reign at any border crossing. For example:
I sometimes drive around with a quantity of drugs that are freely available in Canada over the counter (each pill contains 8 grams of codeine). I don't know what would happen to me if I tried to cross the US border with a couple of hundred of these and told the officer "I forgot they were in the car." I inspect my own car before I cross the border for a reason.
It’s time the government stops trying to squash our rights.
Unfortunately you do not have a second amendment. Do you have a right to arms up in Canada in your Constitution?
