Wells Faro Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Just registered for my first International SASS Match, Range Wars. As an American / Canadian citizen residing in Canada, is there anything special I need to know or do when taking my firearms into Michigan for the weekend? The State web site was of little help. Also will I need to bring all of the ammunition with me or can I purchase there? Thanks Wells Faro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster Ron Wayne Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Nothing special needed hear in Michigan. We are a very Gun Friendly State . Just Keep your firearms in a Case unloaded . And keep your ammo in a separate case . Yes you can bring your own ammo . Its a good idea to try to keep the stuff un-excusable to people inside of the vehicle. Thats about it . Come enjoy our beautiful state of Michigan . Rooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrider Outlaw Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 There are several Canadians who regularly shoot matches at Michigan club monthlies (is that even a word?). I've never heard any of them say that they had any particular problems crossing the border with their guns and ammo. As stated above, keep the firearms cased and separated from the ammo. None of these should be accessible from the passenger compartment of your vehicle. On another related topic, make sure that under ordinary circumstances (not transporting firearms) that you would have no problems coming into the US or returning to Canada. In Michigan there is an "enhanced" driver's license that is issued to those who frequently cross the border. I'm no expert, but you might need a current passport. Check with US and Canadian Customs.

Lefty Dutchman, SASS #41480 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I have been going to Range War for the last 18 years, it is one of the best shoots in the US. There is no problem crossing the border, just make sure that you get your paper work in order. You will need a form 6 (a temporary alien importation permit) it is available on the ATF website. Make sure you list all the guns you wish to take, and list all the ammunition that you are bringing. If you need 200 rounds put at least twice that amount on your form. Give your self at least 6 weeks to get your permit. You will also need an invitation to any shoot that you attend. Also when you get to the border it is your responsibility to inform the border guards that you have firearms. Lefty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wells Faro Ahem. Michigan is either west of Sarnia or north of Windsor (I don't count Yoopiana). You Canuckian tenderfoot hillbillies need to look at a map!

Wells Faro Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Yes you are correct, I thought of that moments after I pressed send, however from here in Toronto it is most definitely south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but your closest entry point would have you traveling east, to Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Beady Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Well...kind of. Windsor is directly across the river from Detroit, and Sarnia is directly across the river from Port Huron. The relationships are more like San Diego-Tijuana or Laredo-Nueve Laredo. In a sense, southern Ontario sticks down into the US between Michigan and Ohio, while New York pokes Ontario in the side.
