I'm shocked(not electrically)

So once Canada passed laws banning the sale,transfer and importtation of handguns one of the many effects was taking handguns across the border.

So basically one had to file import application(s) to cross back into Canada. To do so one had to set up a government account,get an import/export number, then file a seperate application per handgun, pay a #$&%#$ fee per handgun( good for only one time) and be restricted to specific border crossings.

After a bit and arguing we were not actually importing anything but returning with our property, much like the vehicle we were driving, the fees were dropped but paperwork exsisted. This still required pre planning of at least 10 business days to be sure the paperwork arrived in time.

The shocking news- Notice to Import N0. 1106 (15 Dec 2023)  states

Import permits are not required for the re-importation of lawfully registered handguns by individuals holding a possession and acquisition licence (PAL) and registration certificate.

I'm going to give it a month or so to filter down to the border guards along with hopefully some others to try it and educate the guards.

It's an improvement, we still have a ways to go but it's a small victory in the right direction.

Probably more to do with the additional paperwork they had to do cutting into one of the many breaks.
