transporting a firearm

[Hfx_Cdn]

    Joe read your posts, yes you have the right to carry arms here in the US,m but you said you wouldn't visit Canada because you can't bring them with you.  All I was saying was that I cannot legally bring or buy arms when I visit here, so does that mean I and others shouldn't come here since you feel so strongly that it is necessary to arm yourself, and I cannot follow suit.
    I would think that you would want to visit a country where it isn't felt the need to be armed.
    As for your comments about socialism, taxes, or even Quebeckers not understanding your governing system, please do some reading, as the facts do not support what you are saying, for example Burger King just moved its head office to Canada to take advantage of lower taxes.  As for Quebec, it's laws are the only jurisdiction in North America to have based it's judicial system on Napoleonic Law, so it is unique and it is quite possible they have similar confusion about the rest of Canada.
    All that said, what I was reacting to was not anything to do with this string, it was your backhanded attack on Canada, a country that I am quite proud to call my home.
    Enough said!  As others have said, these strings quickly deteriorate and end up getting closed, as I expect this one will soon see happen.

Canada.....leading the world in being just north of the USA. 

{kidding.....kidding} 

Canada.....beautiful summers....all 3 weeks of them. 

I'm joking of course....love Canada.  You gave us Rush, The Guess Who / Bachman Turner Overdrive / April Wine, Bryan Adams, Loverboy, Triumph,.....and we will forgive you for Nickelback and Neil Young. 

Oh....and Crown Royal.  How could I forget.

and we will forgive you for Nickelback and Neil Young. 

And Justin Bieber, and Celine Dion....

 

[BobNSam]

...State law supersedes Federal law, that is a fact...

I think you really need to check your "facts". You have it backwards: Federal Law supercedes state law as stated in the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution. If State Law superceeded Federal Law then state laws about gun ownership in Washington D.C. and Illinois and many other state laws on numerous issues would not have been overturned by the courts including the Supreme Court.

Canada is lucky they didn't get trade sanctions for that one.

This is a link to the handgun laws in all the states.
I have a hardcopy that I can carry with me wherever I go.

http://www.handgunlaw.us/

This link has a section referring to military bases:
http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/usa.pdf

"7. Military Bases Firearms are forbidden on military bases even unloaded and secured in a vehicle. Carry not allowed. Some have shooting clubs. You can take firearms onto the Base to shoot if allowed by the base. Certain rules/regulations must be met before bringing firearms onto a Military Compound. Check at each Military Post for specific rules on Shooting Clubs. See GSA and operation of Federal Buildings Section below."

The only reason State laws can be overturned by the Federal Government is if they are found to be unConstitutional. State law supersedes Federal law, and that is a fact. 

But please...do carry wherever you want. Be sure to have a printed copy of your defense with you...LMAO  : You can share a cell with the guy from Texas.....

Don't forget Maynard Ferguson.
He's likely the reason I now wear hearing aids.......

Frizzlefrak,

I am impressed with anyone who remembers April Wine. 

I wore out 3 8-tracks and 2 cassettes of Harder.....Faster & The Nature of the Beast in high school.  Did a ton of cruising and carousing to those two albums.  They were 2 of the first CD's I ever bought when CD's were just coming out in the mid 80's.  Still play them both start to finish to this day....

 

[Frizlefrak]

My hearing loss is purely American....and happened during my childhood.  I blame Grand Funk Railroad & Jimi Hendrix.

Of course, Rush shares some of the blame there too, so the Great White North took it's toll too.

I remember standing in front of a wall of speakers during an April Wine concert   good times...that was at a skating rink. ..but April Wine was a hometown band.. Lighthouse played there are well..  and the occasional roller derby night..

I had to look up Ferguson...Big Band...I am more of a Teagarden fan.....  they don't make them like they used to...

State law can be stricter than federal law. Citizens of that state may challenge its constitutionality. If a state law is more lenient than a federal law the Feds can trump it, if they desire. Then the state can challenge the Feds on constitutionality. And that explains the legalization of pot. The Obama administration has declined to pursue a legal challenge to states rights.

He figures it's easier to seize everyone's guns if they're stoned.....

If what you say is true than each state could requiire that you have a driver's license and register your vehicle in their state in order to operate it in their state. I'm sure they would love to have all the extra revenue from nonresidents who want to drive in/through their state. It is Federal Law that requires states to honor the drivers licenses and vehicle registration of residents of other states. Their is no constitutional right to have a driver's license it is considered a priviledge. Most recently the state of Arizona's rules/laws regarding who must be issued driver's licenses has been over turned by the Federal courts.

As to carry, there is a very sigificant legal difference between carry and transport. If you don't know the difference, I suggest you do some additional research on the definitions of those terms as they are used in many of the laws regarding firearms. The Federal Law in 18 USC addresses interstate transportation not carrying of a firearm.

blw2, what state is your ccw pemit from? I am just curious...I retired from a local law enforcement agency in California, and as a honorably retired officer, I qualify for the basic CCW permit, which is only good in California. It is not honored anywhere elsei unless I have a special endorsement, which is separate from the CCW itself. I let the endorsement lapse, so now I am only good in California. At first, I guess I was a little paranoid and carried by 9 mm Sig Sauer everywhere I went, but now, I almost never to take it with me. I also always used to take it with me while on vacation out of state. I also used to work in the CCW unit, and if my recollection serves me right, we did not have an out-of-state carry permit for civilians, but that could have changed.  There should be a list on the internet as to which states have reciprocal with your state.

...We'd love to travel in Canada one of these days but the prohibition on guns has prevented us from spending our U.S. dollars in their country...

You can take guns into Canada. If by guns, you mean handgun it is more difficult but can be done especially if you are a competition shooter. Here are the rules.

...So Joe, does that mean that I along with the millions of Canadians who are prohibited to bring guns into the USA, or to buy them once here, should not come and spend the tens of billions we spend here annually?...

Nonresidents can bring firearms into the US. This link explains the procedures. You can buy and have a firearm exported from the US. You need to obtain a license/permit to do so. There are separate rules for sporting shotguns.

Whether one wants to go through the trouble of obtaining the proper permits is a matter of personal choice.

I have 2 CCW UT and NV. carry every where I can. I have  found this site the very very helpful, It gives law overviews and Reciprocity. there main page for each state gives you a synopsis of the law with a link to the states web site.

BTW while traveling this summer. I had an issue when I stopped about 70 miles south of Shreveport LA for fuel that I was glad I had my gun, I also got me a armed escort from the store back to my camper for my safety.
