Waiting to cross the Canadian border out of Montana I was listening to a Canadian immigration officer explain why I did not need my 30.30 Winchester while camping in the Canadian outback. We were approached and almost attacked by the largest black bear I ever saw or heard of. Looked and moved like a freight train. After the animal was driven away the officer told me to go back to Montana, check my gun at a local bar, get a receipt and come back. When I circled around and went through the American check point the American Immigration officer, who had watched the whole thing and knew whatI had to do, laughed as he said, "Those Canadian Commies are funny people aren't they?" Of course Canada is not a Province of Great Britian. Everyone knows it belongs to the "Free French".
