The bar in Sweetgrass is also biker friendly and serves up a good brewski... friendly folks and its only $US10 to store it 'til you come back.

We used to go gopher hunting with a mountie and used his handgun (we supplied the ammo) and did quite well. Okay rules are rules, if you aren't a cop in Alberta, but, we did have a cop and nobody objected... and it was fun.

I have purchased several guns in Canada and brought them back across the border (before 9-11) without problems and mailed them back to myself. I am a FFL dealer, therefore its legal, unlicensed citizens should not mail guns to themselves, however, you can mail long guns to have them worked on and the dealer can return them the same way, not handguns.

Interestingly any gun made before December 31, 1898 is NOT a gun and can be treated like it was a bar of soap. I recently bought an old S&W revolver in Chile and the customs people simply let me put it back in my suitcase and bring it home, no questions asked.

Believe it or not, there is a bar in Sweetgrass, Montana that will store your handgun for $10. No problems, I've used it a couple of times, its just off the main street within a block or so of the border.

I also had a friend who was a gun dealer in Lethbridge, Alberta and he met me and carried it across a few times so we could shoot gophers with 22 pistols. And that had to be on private property ONLY, NO handgun hunting in Canada.
