SAINT JOHN, N.B. -- Two Texas men who tried to bring hidden guns along on separate Canadian vacations on the weekend have lost their guns, been fined and sent home.
Crown attorney Peter Thorn said the men, both retirees in their 50s from the Dallas area, came separately across the border with their wives at St. Stephen, N.B.

He and his wife told a border officer they were not carrying weapons, but were pulled over for a secondary inspection that uncovered three handguns, a shotgun and pepper spray.

They also denied carrying weapons, but during a secondary inspection admitted there was a handgun in their motor home's safe.
Thorn said Judge Henrik Tonning fined Do $1,700 and Chaffin $1,000. Their guns were destroyed, and both men were told to leave the country.

Instead, our Fox Noise will probably spin it thusly: "Freedom-loving Americans robbed of their guns and 2nd Amendment rights by armed foreigners while on vacation!"
I am so pleased to hear that their weapons were destroyed. If they sue to recover them, I hope the Canadians hand them over the heaps of slag that they had paid good money for, intending to go kill something.
