Travelling With A Firearm – As gun owners, we may wish to travel with a firearm, whether to participate in a competition, to go hunting or merely for recreational purposes.

The applicable rules will depend upon the destination, the mode of travel and the type of firearm one wishes to travel with. Hereafter is a brief overview of the rules that apply to travelling from and within Canada. Obviously, for the purposes of this discussion, I assume that the traveller is duly licensed to possess the firearms with which they wish to travel and that the firearms in question are duly registered, whenever applicable.
