Customs guys all seem to have a Napoleonic complex, however. All? 99.73% of the ones I’ve dealt with are nothing but professional. Maybe it’s you. Be super useless if they catch you with a spent round of .22 ammunition in a car with US plates on. I’m not in the habit of shooting a .22 in my car so I should be good. _______________________________ Michigan has a cool sesquicentennial plate. Re-issue of the bicentennial plate. Won plate of the year in’76.

A few guys at Port of Minneapolis were of the belief that it was up to them to stop every legal importation from Europe. Even my BATF guy said they were short on social skills.
Not in the habit of picking up your spent ammunition, would be my guess.
Best,
Ted

Wouldn’t that be customs? Not in the habit of picking up your spent ammunition, would be my guess. Well I have to admit. I’ve never picked up a single.22 lr round in my life. _______________________________ Earth seems to be taking it in stride.

I cross the border pretty regularly in Port Huron, and then in Niagara Falls.
There is an answer to the change in query, and it has to do with administrative changes.
My best recommendation would be that the next time you are at the border ask them how come they are doing the lengthier interrogations.
They will tell you.
It is a pretty common question for them.

Wouldn’t that be customs? Yea. That was my point. Not in the habit of picking up your spent ammunition, would be my guess. Well I have to admit. I’ve never picked up a single.22 lr round in my life. You live in Detroit. Why would you? Best, Ted _______________________________ Earth seems to be taking it in stride. _______________________________________________________ I got standards.

I’ve crossed the border countless times. On the whole, agents on both sides are humourless. Not surprising, given Trump’s aggressive distaste for all things Canadian, that the “elbows up” stupidity has spread from low information Canadian voters to low information Canadian border agents. Justified or not, the antagonism eventual will get results.
Depending on where you cross, border agents know they get a good number of American travellers who are stunned to find out that when in a different country, American laws no longer apply. Go figure. 🤣
