the canadian goveremnt can go suck a big cock. i just found out about bill C68
which is located here http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/1995/39/4672.html but to pretty much sum it up Bill C68 (activly enforced since 1999) states that if the item is a replica of a real firearm, it is illegal for import into Canada.

Motion Picture and Television prop departments are one of a few select
exeptions to this rule, but the importing company must have the necessary
Firearms License and a Prop license (showing over 10 years of work in the
motion picture field) to be able to import the guns in Canada without a problem.

It seems some replacement and option parts are legal for import, but most
airsoft guns are not. yet somehow i managed to get a beretta from italy & a walther from germany. both replicas. anyone know anything about this law?

eek: That's odd...

This is what I found on there:

[quote:a1f9f]Okay, I hope this will clear things up with importing and siezers of ari-soft:

(Direct quote from CCRA)

Most air soft guns are considered replica firearm as defined in subsection 84(1) of the Criminal Code. They are clearly designed not only to resemble a firearm with near precision but also to resemble a specific and readily identifiable make and model of firearm. Due to their strong resemblance to real firearms and their lack of capacity to cause serious bodily injury, air soft guns are replica firearms.

I know, some people say that oh, the fire less than 500 fps or the are made of plastic. Well, here you go!

The only guns considered not replica firearms are really bad springers!

[quote:a1f9f] [importing] includes via MAIL or via PUTTING them in the back of your car and DRIVING them across...
[/quote:a1f9f]

[quote:a1f9f]I also know that you are allowed to import *replica's* if you have a certain type of license. Like, you are a movie company and require replica's or you are a security agency and require replica's for training, Etc....

[quote:a1f9f]In order to get a lincese( Now correct me on this peter ) But you first, need to register as a company, Ie, Inc or Corp. Secondly, you must deminstrate to the vacnouver government and to the rcmp the reasons for opening your store and have at least some kind of safety for it. Also, all wepons must be transported in a non-see through case and also must not be easily openable. Ie. the carboard that TM puts there guns in. There are more but this could take to long. This is the just of it.
