Joe, I explained earlier my legal firearms transport as a pilot and trapper. I mentioned that I forgot that one was in my survival kit when I attended the Experimental Aircraft Association convention in Oshkosh in '83. Sixty years ago American and Canadian pilots used small airports on both sides as if the border wasn't there. There was no customs. We'd land in bad weather or put money in an honour box for fuel if there was no one around, and fly on. The Mounties took a liberal view of responsible use of firearms---and still do. It was a different time of different people.This peculiar American curiosity of a Canadian's relationship with the law is amusing! Never broken the law, Joe? You should try it.
