canada customs

I used to go down across the line to a little gas station. They sold ammo and powder etc so before 911 I was able to buy it and bring it across.The border guards all shoot of course so I would meet the Canadian border guys at the range sometimes.The word got to the American guards that I liked to shoot,so we became sort of familiar with each other. Just enough that we would be polite etc. They would still search me,but it's thier job and nothing personal. I never smuggle stuff anyways,so had nothing to hide. I have nothing bad to say about any border guard I've ever met. They all have a job to do.

The secret to good treatment at the border is to smile, nod, say yes sir and co-operate fully.Like it or not,those guys have the ability to tear your car apart and they dont have to put it back together.
