Let me see if I understand this correctly. American go up to Canada to hunt. They bring sporting arms for this use such as shotguns and rifles designed for this purpose.
Why in the hell is it anyones business but theirs and the guide that they are bringing in firearms for that purpose?
Ever see a terrorist sporting a Winchester model 12 shotgun or a Model 70 rifle?

CJO has it right Jim. About every six months we read a newspaper story about some American who tried to cross the border witha hand gun in the glove compartment and they didn't declare it. Maybe they thought no one would notice or maybe they forgot they were traveling to a different country with different laws. Vehicle and guns get seized, they get to spend time in jail, they get charged with a felony offense and they get little sympathy from the court system.
There are no circumstances where it is worth the risk. Also without being an expert on hand gun law in Canada I think it's safe to say an American under normal circumstances will never get permission to travel within Canada with his hand gun.
