Cody Show | General Discussions & Questions | Forum

 I sure would like to take My display to Cody but I'm very hesitant about doing any more U.S. shows, here's why . Three years ago I had tables reserved at Las Vegas, Louisville and Houston Tx.. I loaded up 34 guns, all antique, and a bunch of Winchester memorabilia for My display. When I got to the border the U.S. customs  agent I encountered must  have been having a bad day and He determined that I was not going to any gun show in the U.S. any time soon. Even though I had all the paperwork necessary He said I needed a commercial inbound manifest and after 2 hours arguing with them, they turned Me around and let Me take My things back to Canada, He said He could confiscate them if HE wanted to. Obviously I had already paid for My tables and was fortunate enough to get them re-rented. I tell Ya this left a pretty bad taste in My mouth after 50 years of doing this same thing with no hassles what so ever. However I am planning to go to Cody this year, if nothing else, just to have a look around and chat.
