Leave your handgun and ccw at home. Your ccw is meaningless up there and they have some pretty strict handgun laws.

Okay i'll leave it at home. So, when you get stopped by a cop for a traffic violation, you are advised to inform them of your ccw license.

I know you're not being "stopped" per say, but do you tell the customs officer that you are a ccw holder and show them your license regardless?

 

Each US state is different. For example, in PA you do not need to inform an LOE when stopped. But then again your ccw isn't honored in pa son its illegal for you to carry there. I do not believe you need to tell the border patrol you have a ccw when going to Canada, especially if your not carrying, at least I never have.

K, good to know. They check your passport, but never really your drivers license anyway. I probably won't unless they say something.

 

You should check out and read up on www.handgunlaws.us. Not relevant to Canada, but there is a ton of information on what the laws are and which states honor Ohio's ccw. I posted the PDF for Ohio a while ago on here, if you look thru my old posts you'll likely find it. BTW, its not advised that you inform an LOE in Ohio, its required...

Thank you for all of the info. I appreciate it.

 

If your not carrying your pistol, you are not required to say squat to anyone. A few might think so but you don,t have to. The officer will know you have a permit before he ever gets to your car door. Search ccw items on here, was discussed awhile back, Mike

 

ORC States

If a person is stopped for a law enforcement purpose and is carrying a
concealed handgun as a CCW licensee, whether in a motor vehicle or not,
he shall inform the law enforcement officer that he is carrying a concealed
handgun. If in a vehicle, the licensee shall remain in the vehicle and
keep his hands in plain sight at all times. Violating this section of law
is a first-degree misdemeanor, and in addition to any other penalty
handed down by a court, may result in the suspension of the person’s
concealed handgun license for one year. A permit holder is not required
to inform law enforcement of his status if he is not carrying a firearm.

Emphasis added for clarification.

 

Do NOT mention a THING about guns or permits to Canada customs!!! Leave yours at home too!!! You may as well be carrying a kilo of heroin with ya.

 

Leave your gun at home or you'll need to buy a new one, when you get out of jail.
Hand guns are not permitted in canada, even law inforcement officers must regester their gun and leave it at a crossing until they return to the USA. Don't say anything unless your ask, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! I owned a place up there and went back and forth for 30 years. We were never pulled over or checked unless they were training new officers. Having a CCW doesn't impress the border guys at all.

 

As boatnut said,

I just took the CCW class last week and there was a couple that moved from Canada about 15 years ago and they said do not mention firearms unless you want a complete search of your vehicle and belongings.
