plus a ban on .25 cal. Canadian residents who had shorter barrels, or .25ACP guns when bill C68 was passed were grandfathered, but non-grandfathered people may not possess such guns.

25ACP?.. <roll eyes> I don't think I want to know the back story on that one even though I think I could guess at the non-logic.
Looks like they dropped the price, or I had it wrong. Thanks.
I was chatting with border patrol on one of my crossings into Canada on the Niagara border and every time they ask my profession they asked if I was sure I had no guns in the car I wanted to declare. They also said they don't penalize those who declare them and they will store them for the duration of your trip if you want. I didn't test this and this was only from the agent in the booth but there might be something more to it in writing but I didn't bother looking.

There is a minimum barrel length requirement of 105mm, plus a ban on .25 cal. Canadian residents who had shorter barrels, or .25ACP guns when bill C68 was passed were grandfathered, but non-grandfathered people may not possess such guns.
As have we in MA, NY, CA, DC, IL, etc...It's threads like this that make me sad for my distant Canadian cousins. They've been duped into giving up so much.
