Has anyone had any experience carrying a handgun while on the Canadian portion of the ride?

MidSouth:
I wouldn't try crossing the border with one.

+1. We got the thrice-over crossing at Roosvile for a 4-day stay back in '09. The border guard asked. among other things, if we had any weapons and studied all of our responses closely. You get asked that and hesitate or show physical signs of lying and you very well might get searched.

Out of curiosity, why would you carry a gun with you?

John Nettles:
My bags were thoroughly searched (44 yo man at the time) at the Emerson port south of Winnipeg.  I don't know what made them think I was carrying anything (I wasn't) or maybe they were bored.  I was glad afterwards they didn't question my Halt! dog repellent as I "think" they consider that a weapon.

There must be ways to legally get a gun across the border due to hunting but I do not know what they are.

Maybe just call the Canadian Border Protection (or whatever they are called)???

John Nelson:
There are legal ways to take guns into Canada, and to carry guns in Canada, but it involves a lot of paperwork.
