Dude, yeah I grew up in southern California! I’m 52 years old, and have never been in trouble with the law. That’s not to say I haven’t done some things I’m proud of. I bought a lousy boat on Ebay because I got a great deal. Traveled 1300 miles to pick it up. Had a gun with me because you never know what could happen until it does and I would rather have and not need it then to need it and not have it. Plain and simple. We live in a f…ed up world and it is a sad state of affairs to have to carry but I do. The one thing that really stuck in my mind when getting the CCW permit was when the instructor asked the class when and where the next crime was going to be committed, that way you could avoid the situation by not being there. Unfortunately that’s not real life. I’m a law abiding citizen, business owner, family man, blah blah blah. I made a bad decision in trying to take the weapon across the border. Never thought I would be flagged and searched. Everything I have written hear is for real and the truth. You want to know what’s ironic. Coming back into the US took 30 seconds. Border agents looked at my Arizona license, asked if the boat was for pleasure or commercial and told me to have a safe trip home!
I didn’t come onto this site to give some BS story because I have nothing better to do with my time. My wife’s mom is sick and we want to travel to the UK to see her one last time. It also will give me a chance to see my family as well. Thought there might be some useful info here. Sorry that some may see this as a waste of their time. Will look elsewhere. Cheers!

73wanab,

I do believe you.
And not just because you appear genuine but your comment:
"The one thing that really stuck in my mind when getting the CCW permit was when the instructor asked the class when and where the next crime was going to be committed, that way you could avoid the situation by not being there."

is far too real to be made up.

Most people don't realize reality but that is a good example - governement has gone bad because it isn't the people's government in charge

I know exactly what is going on in America only too well (including gun control and border "security") and sympathize greatly with you and your countries problems.
You sound a true patriot and if there were more like you, the world would be a much better place.

The whole world is going to hell in a handbasket.
Do you know why it's really happening ?
Have you heard of The New World Order and the impact on gun control laws and border and airport security ? Have you heard of Alex Jones ?
If not, I recommend you find out about it - it explains everything and how to preotect yourself too.
See Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
I'm on here to try to wake people up about it. In your case I strayed pretty badly.

There's no doubt I believe you now.
Suppose I just didn't undertand how you could have been charged later but have been "bailed" 11 months before.
Suppose I was trying to catch you out if you weren't straight - now I know better.
Apologies.

You might want to look at this thread:
Google Answers: Extradition Treaties - Canada

My understanding(treat with extreme caution !) is that there are no extradition treaties between Canada and GB, though someone does say at the bottom:
"and extradition to Canada is absolutely covered by the US treaty."

However looking at this:
Marc Emery and the Canada/US Extradition Treaty — Alec Saunders SquawkBox

it says: "The Canada/US extradition treaty provides for the extradition of criminals and suspected criminals in either country, to the other, when the act committed is a crime in both countries."

So technically you should be ok, but it's confusing.

But certainly don't take my word for it - check it yourself and make your own mind up !

Sorry - I've probably been acting like a bit of a ****.

Hope everything goes ok for you,
YCHTT.

Yes, there is. We'll extradite our own citizens to just about anywhere.

We wouldn't do it to a US citizen though. Just not going to happen. Our government is way too scared of the US to even attempt to **** them off like this.

OP: You'll be fine mate. Seriously.

I think I did read, that whilst there are no such treaty's between GB and Canada, there is some rule that says that U.S treaty's override any such agreements.

And of course, treatys don't mean squat if there are other rules in place to effectively grab someone and send them to an interrogation camp. (but that's another matter entirely and not relavant whatsoever)

You're right John - I can't see much to worry about at all.
I hope I haven't hacked him off and he comes back.......
I've learnt a valubale lesson here - stick to what you're good at !
