It isn’t clear if you are speaking about the Canadian agents, or, if this started on the US side of the border. If it was the US agents, they were probably trying to keep you out of trouble. If it was the Canadian guys, I’d guess they were attempting a “gotcha”, with a strip search and dismantling the vehicle.
There’s revenue in them there minivans, buster. It happens all the time.
When my son was about 6, we had a meeting with his doctor. After the physical, the doctor brought out the AMA approved antigun script, and proceeded to start asking my son questions. “Are there guns in your home”? My boy looked at me, as we had practiced this for a few years. “Tell him, Punk”, I said, with a slight smile. The boy looked at the doctor and said “My dad has guns stacked like cordwood, in our house”. The doc asked him if he felt safe. The boy said “My dad’s magazines in the handguns should all be higher capacity than they are. I’d feel safer if he had a few more around, too. About every 5 feet is just right. I like the autoloaders cocked and locked, but, dad is old school, he’s a revolver guy”.
The doc said “Well, we can stop with this”, put the script away, and sent us on our way. He was a good doctor, but was completely beholden to the AMA and the twisted logic they subscribe to.
We had ice cream on the way home. At 10:30AM in the morning. I asked the boy not to tell mom.
He never did.
Best,
Ted
