2. What a maroon...... nt

[Oopsie Daisy]

3. At some point, I'm sure he proclaimed: "I'm an AMERICAN!! I know my rights!!!"

[3auld6phart]

17. As Southern citizens

Would say “ I know my “ Rats “ Joshua Chamberlin’ brother asked Josh, after the surrender of Confederate Armies. What are Rats. Anyways some people can be kinda thick an can’t be bothered to do a bit delving into tules an regulations of other states and countries

[MLAA]

4. Hmmm wonder who he voted for?

[soldierant]

54. You're assuming he is smart enough to register - and find the right polling place.

[MLAA]

55. And remember his name?

[soldierant]

56. Oh yeah, that too!

[Kid Berwyn]

5. Lock him up.

And all the gunhumping nutjobs.

[Old Crank]

31. HE could be there for a while

think of how they could havehandle the arrest.
As if he were an arms smuggler, a terrorist.
He woiuld be begging for Biden in no time flat....

[Deuxcents]

6. Thank you, Canada

[Renew Deal]

7. Did wander over the border?

I can’t imagine he’d be so ignorant to go through a border crossing this way. That said, there was a US state senator arrested in Hong Kong with a gun and got into a fight with the cops. So there are some significant levels of ignorance and delusion in the RW world.

[gay texan]

8. Wow, he's really stupid. n/t

[republianmushroom]

9. I like it.

[Irish_Dem]

10. A country which actually care about its citizens.

Unlike the USA.

[gab13by13]

11. I learned from working in Canada

you don't piss with the Border agents. I had all my work papers in order but the Border patrol wanted to know why Canadians couldn't do my job? I told him I work with Canadian workers so that we get the job finished quicker and we both make more money.

Some of our workers were detained for an hour. I learned about using honey instead of vinegar.

[Bev54]

14. Years ago, I had a friend who was a border guard at a very small crossing from Idaho

and he told me that one of the questions they would ask, mostly those travelling in motorhomes, was if they had jewellry or other expensive items (many were happy to brag) and if they did, they knew to search for firearms. That was long before the gun violence was so bad. The others were people travelling through to Alaska, who thought because they were just passing through to get to another US state, they could bring their firearms. Never a good idea.

[Old Crank]

32. Rule to live by.....

Never piss off a bureaucrat.

One of my wife's favorite saying.

[montanacowboy]

40. Yep during my horse business days

I worked in Canada and had to move heaven and hell to get a permit. They absolutely are strict on US Citizens taking jobs away from Canadians.

[rurallib]

12. That was delicious. Only watched it four times

[usonian]

13. Ha Ha, the gun permit was not bilingual. English and French.

Idiot arrêté.

[twodogsbarking]

15. Once again, words from a lovely person...........

[dlk]

16. Canadians are much more civilized when it comes to gun ownership

We have far to go.

[Rebl2]

21. Very far

to go indeed.

[JanMichael]

18. Guy has a Deliverance look. USA USA USA!

[Warpy]

19. Lost his Precious? Good. Thank you, Canada, that's one less idiot we have to worry about.

He's obviously one of those fools who think Canada is just another state, except the talk a little funny sometimes.

Surprise!

[Wonder Why]

20. "Besides, we wouldn't let someone as stupid as you are come into Canada with a gun!"

[NBachers]

22. I watched this over and over. Too bad they don't have a "Maggot Gun Confiscation in Canada" marathon on TV.

[rubbersole]

23. They should have let him keep it if he shoved it up his ass and turned around.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. What A Dope!

"In the state I'm from..."
What did he think he was going through customs for?
Could it possibly be he was now in a different country!?

[OldBaldy1701E]

25. I feel like I should apologize to the Canadians about this.

Québec, je suis désolé pour ce stupide Américain.

Elle c'est excusee.

[kedrys]

29. Excuses acceptes.

[OldBaldy1701E]

34. Merci... merci beaucoup! (n/t)

[Renew Deal]

57. Rightly so. This is all your fault.

[Bluethroughu]

26. A girl can dream, one day to see this here.

[Vogon_Glory]

27. Could have been worse. He could have tried to enter

Mexico. They frown even more on gun-toters who ignore international borders.

[RockRaven]

28. So the solution to America's gun problem is encouraging gun humpers to travel.

I guess I feel bad for Canada having to deal with them, but it's worth a shot...

[DBoon]

30. I'd like to see this guy try that while crossing into Mexico

Might spend some time in a Tijuana jail

[Rocknation]

39. Yep -- remember this guy from nearly ten years ago?

US congressman seeks release of Marine veteran jailed for driving into Mexico with guns


Rocknation

[Cha]

33. Haha! Love Canada!

[barbtries]

35. sometimes the video will play.

other times it takes you to the app. I wouldn't mind seeing it, but i do mind giving any traffic to the megalomaniac.

[pdxflyboy]

36. HOLY SHIT!!! I GREW UP WITH THIS GUY!!!

His first name is Thomas. We learned to fly together. He’s a retired airline pilot. We lost touch over 20 years ago. DAMN did he get stupid!

[progressoid]

42. Wow!

I did a little searching but couldn't find more info about his story or this incident.

[Rocknation]

37. The police determined that sexual assault accusations against a rapper were SO bogus

they refused to file a report. But the rapper paid the accuser to NOT file civil charges -- and THAT was enough to get him barred from performing at a show in Canada!


Rocknation

[Leith]

38. What a moron

His brain is mush mixed with clay.

[patphil]

41. White American gets schooled by Canadians as to where his American white privilege ends.

He never saw that coming.
So he lost his gun, will probably pay a fine, and got a life lesson he'll never forget.

[TeamProg]

43. 3 years in the pokey seems fitting. nt

[Canoe52]

44. I'm confused about " You do not admit that you're a carrier"

A carrier of what?

[Rocknation]

46. He said, "IN THE STATE I'M FROM, you do not admit that you are a carrier"

Presumably, he's referring to not having to admit that he's carrying weapons whether he has a permit, has them concealed, or not. But being able to do that legally where he's "from" DOESN'T automatically make it legal EVERYWHERE ELSE in the world!!!


Rocknation

[Canoe52]

50. Thanks!

[Fozzledick]

48. I'm guessing a concealed firearm.

[moniss]

45. I've been to the Canadian border a few times and it

always amazes me how some people think it's going to be "funny" to make a joke when the Canadian Border Guard asks you about guns or alcohol. You'll find out in a quick hurry it was the wrong move. They don't give a crap about you "were joking". If you are not straight with them don't be surprised if you now find yourself detained for a good long time while they search every inch of you and your vehicle and contact the US authorities and see if you are a felon etc. Thought you were being funny? Answer their questions in a straight forward and prompt manner and you'll 9 times out of 10 go straight through with no problem. But if you want to push it you will find out they are not f'ng around.

[ffr]

47. Sounds like if you declare it and it's legally licensed to you, it's a just $25 fee to transport it.

For his crime, his treasured gun is getting destroyed.

However, if you carry it with you and you don't declare it, like this republican did while traveling to Hong Kong, it could be up to 14 years in prison and $12,000 in fines.

Isn't it wonderful how insulated il-liberals are from the world around them? As a couple comments pointed out:

A responsible firearm owner knows where their guns are at all times. This guy is a clown.
Nobody seemingly ever 'realizes' they 'accidentally packed their firearm' in their baggage.

[niyad]

49. Well, that froze my computer. Had to reboot it.

Could somebody tell me in what states one does NOT admit to carrying a gun when questioned by police?

[LakeArenal]

51. I used to work in a very demanding job.

Many would puff up demanding things. Other people were polite, willing to wait their turn. Guess who we took care of first.

[Torchlight]

52. Half-expecting him to reply, "but I eat everything I kill so it's okay!"

Ah, the privileged American traveler is so often a sight to behold when confronted, confused, and befuddled by anything foreign. Which is kinda ironic.

[PurgedVoter]

53. Oh no he's a carrier!

That stupidity might be contagious.

[Mr.Bill]

58. Living proof that his state has very low standards

for carry permits. This is why California does not honor permits from other states.

[dawn5651]

59. poor dude he came to canada to visit and we socialists seized his gun and destroyed it.

[MOMFUDSKI]

60. I had to forward this to my Canadian neighbor.

He was a detective in Canada! Bet he laughs.

[live love laugh]

61. Canada be like: Don't bring that shit here.

[sinkingfeeling]

62. I've traveled to 64 counties and the only place I was detained at Customs was Canada.

It was over 30 years ago and I was with my sister, BIL, and my 19 year old son. We arrived in Victoria by boat. My son and I were asked to step into another area and were questioned about our trip to Guatemala. They wouldn't allow me to tell my sister where we were nor our hotel transport. After they had taken our Arkansas driver's licenses and made some phone calls, we were released. It took around 50 minutes. I was in tears and told my sis and hotel driver I wanted to go home.
Eventually I recovered from my embarrassment and calling Canada bad names. We think it was my son that lead to us being really checked out. He looked like a drug smuggler in a B-rated movie. Long hair, bushy beard, and black clothes. And the recent trip to Central America.
