back in late 07 I snagged a xd, loved it. In november of 09 I got orders back to NC, I was in AK at the time. well to drive through canada I needed to fill out a lot of paperwork with my pistol... but I missed something. when I presented my package they informed me that for the xd I needed some big wig to sighn off on it.

I was kinda pissed because when I called the border before starting the trip, the head guard at the station said that what I was good to go. I wasn't, however, and they took my baby.

well the bitch is back, thanx to the wife, and I could not be happier.

Did you manage to get your gun back? Or did you buy a new one?

 

[Spunkmonkey]

new one, same model so my barrel and mags fit.

 

[riot]

Damn, so they just took your pistol and you never get it back!?

Raw Deal man!

yeah, it sucked becase I asked the guy listed on the website, over and over again, what I needed to fill out, if I filled it out right, yadda yadda. I show up at the border station and the lady there says he was wrong and I needed their government to sighn off on it, and then she took the gun. needless to say I removed my barrel, mag, laser/light, and spring before I let her have it.

That really sucks, I'm sorry. You are lucky to have a wife like that, though.

I would have taken the slide and everything, and just given them an empty frame!

Damn, that sucks. Write it off on taxes next year, stolen gun.

My thoughts exactly! The frame is the only thing that is a legal firearm, the rest is parts.


But a better solution would be to ask them if you could leave your vehicle and walk it back so you could UPS it to yourself. You DON'T need a FFL to be able to do that.

I love stories with happy endings!
