Do they check for weapons when you cross the U.S.-Canada border?

Sometimes there aren't even guards at the crossings.  The border security is a joke up north.  Bush has moved everybody south, to stop illegal immigration, yet nobody is patrolling the northern border.  While I don't like either, I'd rather have illegal immigrants sneaking in than terrorists.

do you need to bring your own weapons?

There is one for rifles, one for handguns and one for concealed weapons (usually handguns). You have to be 18 for rifles, 21 for the other 2, no felonies, clean record. They do a background check for all 3. Probably no automatic weapons (I think those are illegal in all states), but your local court house can help you.

You will be able to enter if you have a valid passport.  You will probably be stopped on the way back INTO Canada so that they can check for outstanding warrants.  If everything is taken care of you should have no problem. Have fun!!

most often if it is cased and locked, and in the trunk, also known as the 3 step rule (would take 3 steps to get a hold of the weapon) you are legal. the bugger issue is what kind of weapon is it? some places have outlawed posetion of classes of weapons. there is Federal law about transporting weapons across state lines (peaceable journey laws), but they have been ignored by some LEO's (NJ comes to mind).

You just cross over the boarder into British Columbia, going thru Canadian Customs. Just make sure you have some photo ID on you. Have fun!

a rifle or pistol?\nyou can take weapons on planes so as long as thy are declared and locked up ( there are kept in the baggage hold ), but it's India's custom officals that I would worry about.

Don't worry about it, leave it in there, because at the border they will ask you about any previous trips into the country. It was the responsibility of the customs official in your country to remove it when you re-entered, the fact that they didn't do it does not matter. This will not prevent you from getting another one, you basically need an I-94 for every trip. When you present your passport at the immigration/customs office when you enter the country, don't say anything, they will find it and ask you about it, just say that when you left the country no one took it out.

NO you don't have to notify the border authorities of a chnage of plans.\n\nI bought a recumbent trike from a person in Detroit with the intention of riding it back to Edmonton AB.\n\nThe border guard asked ho long my stay was going to be. I said not sure. Then he asked how I planned ot support myself. I said with my credit cards.\n\nAnothr person at the border also going on vacation got stalled at the border, the guard wanted proof of employment and a letter from his employer stating he was on vacation and was to be back to work by a certain date.\n\nJust be honest say the range of your expected stay.\n\nI currently am immigrating to the US and live there now. \n\ndo a search for Canadian citizens length of stay\n\ntheres an excllent answer on the google answers

No.  You have to be a Canadian Citizen to join any type of police force in Canada.\n\nIt's exactly how it is in USA.

Yes, a valid US Passport. Below are the requirements (new) for US residents to legally enter Canada.

No and it is doubtful that they would be. Mexican nationals, coyotes (people smugglers), and illegal immigrants themselves DO NOT WANT the border closed. As a result I would be very doubtful that nukes, terrorists, etc. would find crossing the border from Mexico appealing. Mexicans will not allow terrorism to cross that border because it would result in its closing.

Once you get out of prison, you are generally on parole for a while.  During that time,  you must get your parole officer's permission to travel out of state.  This is usually granted for any reasonable purpose.  Indeed, you can even move and have your parole transferred to your new location if you have a good reason and your current parole officer agrees.  Once you are no longer on parole, there is nothing to stop you.  \n\nWe do not have border crossing checks in the US except on occasion when there are med fly scares and that sort of thing.  Quarantine.  And there is no reason to worry about such a check once you are no longer on parole, unless you have outstanding warrants for another crime.\n\nP.S.  Sorry, I misread your question.  I saw "travel IN USA."  If you are planning to come to the USA, you need a visa.  Having a criminal record would not necessarily be a bar, but it might.  The facts of the case would be considered.  Was it a minor youthful offense which you have long since put behind you, or is there a long rap sheet, including recent charges?  I do not believe a tourist or business traveler would be barred simply for having a criminal conviction on his record.  Probably not a student, either, in most cases.  For landed immigrant status, they are of course much more strict.

Nothing. \n\nThe US appears to be afraid there is no reason for you to return to Canada, and that you will become an  illegal immigrant.

It all depends on what state you live in and what type of gun permit you have. The states range from:\n\nVermont--which doesn't even issue such a thing as a "gun permit" because you don't need one to buy a gun or carry one openly or concealed.\n\nto:\n\nIllinios--which requires you to have a permit to own ANY type of gun, and doesn't allow you to get a permit to carry it in public openly or concealed.\n\nThe other states fall somewhere in between. Name your state, and I can help you more..

Bound's hubby here:\n\nUnder current federal law, any sale made by a holder of a FFL (Federal Firearms License) must conduct a National Instant Check. Only private party sales are currently exempt from this check. However, whoever bought the firearm first is the registered owner start a paper trail when they sell a firearms because they never know what future owner will use it unlawfully.\n\nBe forewarned... most stated do not allow property owners the right to use lethal force to protect property (your stated reason for buying a rifle). In most states, if you use lethal force to protect property you will find yourself facing charges for murder.\n\nHave a nice day. Good luck.
