:lol: My dad just sent me this story:

http://www.leaderpost.com/news/Armed+American+illegally+crosses+border+bicycle+arrested+Sask/2699452/story.html

REGINA — A firearm-toting American was arrested Wednesday in southeastern Saskatchewan after illegally crossing the border on a bicycle.

The RCMP received a call of a suspicious male in the Bromhead area, approximately 34 kilometres from the border and about 58 kilometres from Estevan.

When RCMP officers apprehended the 41-year-old they discovered he was carrying a .22-calibre handgun in his pocket and a .22-calibre rifle in his hiking-style backpack, along with an axe.

Sgt. Derryl Milo said the man is from Missouri and has no fixed address, adding that the backpack was filled with clothing and it appeared he'd been travelling.

Police have yet to determine why the wanderer was over 1,300 kilometres from his home state.

"It's interesting, but I can't speculate on this more," Milo said.

The man is facing numerous firearms and customs act charges. He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in Estevan Provincial Court on Monday.

:lol: what the heck was that guy thinking? I always love the strange stories of people trying to get across the border using sneaky tactics. Being from the Niagara Falls area, there always seems to be a story that emerges once every couple years about someone trying to swim the Niagara River or trying to scale the walls of the escarpment. People aren't very smart!

Nope! Guess we got to worry about the northern border too! :lol:

What was he planning to do with a handgun, rifle and an axe? I hope they publish it when they find out.

My Mom used to work at the Huntingdon/Sumas Border crossing as a Customs broker, and the border officers would always tell her about the crazy things people would do to cross. One group even dug a tunnel from one farm in Canada to one in the US, and would smuggle people (and drugs) back and forth, the kicker is that the RCMP and Homeland security knew about it about a week after they finished it, then managed to get in the tunnel while everyone on both ends were away and install all kinds of cameras and suveillance gear. They watched them for a few months, apprehending everything that came out of either end, and no one even once figuring out how they knew what was going on, haha.

Ive heard that they have thermal and motion sensors all along the border where 0 Ave is, dont know how true that is though.

I read an article in a US Gun magazine warning that you could not just pack your guns when visiting Canada. A lot of Americans are not worldly wise.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
