Just putting this out there for info purposes. My son recently took a trip to Canadian side of Niagra Falls. While chatting on the phone with him during the drive, I commented it's a good thing you left you pistol home. Silence as he remembered that it was in car. Knowing that entry into Canada would not be good he was thinking for solutions. Mind you he was at that time in the great state of New York and we all know their feelings on concealed carry for regular citizens. Luckily it was way upstate in rural new york and they dont necessarily thing like the people in NYC. He called a small town police department near where he was and they stated that he could turn it in and then pick up on his return. I was very leery of this solution but he had already talked to them. He took to the station and they had a form taking his weapon and allowed him on his way. I thought NO way would they ever give it back. He then proceeded into Canada and at the border they asked if he had any weapons to declare. He stated no and that he had turned it in to the police in NY. They knew about it already!! Canadian officials stated that he could have declared it at border and they would have held. I wasnt aware of that. Anyway to make story short, he returned to the NY police department and they returned his weapon and he is happily on his way home.
Lesson learned by all and glad it worked out better than I was anticipating.
