The Canada Border Services Agency is out with an advisory to Americans coming to Canada.
Keep the guns at home.
The agency has launched an awareness campaign in light of recent seizures, including at the crossing in Fort Frances.
Officials stress if you need to bring a firearm into Canada, you must have the necessary permits to do so and it has to be securely stored.
Failing to declare your fireman can lead to its seizure, criminal charges and making you inadmissible to Canada.
