I did get a weird line of questioning about "recipes" and if I was bringing any into the country. After I expressed my bewilderment and what they were asking, they got more specific and clarified "like family recipes". To this day I still am not really sure what that was all about.

They may have been referring to formulas for making methamphetamine.

They used to be valuable before people put them on the Internet, and in some countries it is illegal to have printed material that tells how to do something illegal.

As a non-FFL, you can ship long guns to yourself by USPS, not handguns.

You could just ask them to clean your pistol and pick it up on the way back.

Check the state and local laws, though. I don't know about Michigan. In Illinois, it's illegal to posses any firearm or ammunition without a state ID, and in Chicago it's illegal to possess a handgun at all. I hope Michigan isn't that bad.

An ordinary person cannot mail a handgun. You have to use a common carrier.

Look here: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_t ... _1082.html. Page down to "Importation of firearms."

If you can't get the paperwork to bring a handgun into Canada, you can leave it with a gunsmith south of the border.
