Q8. I want to go to the US to hunt or to shoot in a competition.
A8. The US passed legislation in 2002 which now requires all â€˜non-resident aliensâ€™ to obtain a temporary import permit (BATF Form 6NIA) prior to travelling in the US with a firearm. This document requires proof of registration at a shooting event or possession of a valid hunting licence issued by any State of the US. The Form 6 can be applied for on-line as can some State hunting licences. Once issued the Form 6 can be valid for up to a year (in the case of hunters) or to the date of the competition. Canadian firearms owners should be prepared to show proof of firearms licence and registration when they return to Canada.

Firearms & Explosives Imports Division

on-line import (Form 6NIA, http://www.atf.gov/firearms/form6nia/) application for temporary importations only (hunting, competitive shooting, etc.)

Hope this helps

If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting. The sentiment that modern day ordinary Canadians do not need firearms for protection is pleasant but unrealistic. To discourage responsible deserving Canadians from possessing firearms for lawful self-defence and other legitimate purposes is to risk sacrificing them at the altar of political correctness."

The ATF Form 6 and a hunting licence from a State. You'll also want to make a Canadian Customs declaration and get what's called a 'green card'. No big deal. You get it at the border. It proves to our side you bought anything with a serial number at home. Cameras, binoculars, etc. Don't forget to take your registration paperwork with you. You'll need it on the way home.
