That would be nice if I can make it. I leave for a couple weeks on Wednesday, so my schedule is pretty tight until then, but I will see what happens!

The Form 6 NIA (Non immigrant alien) is the form that is filled out in order to temporarily import firearms into the US. It has me list each firearm I want to bring in, plus any ammunition. It is sent to the BATF and then faxed back to me with APPROVED stamped across it. The conditions for approval are that I have a valid hunting license from any state (no matter where I happen to be visiting) , or an invitation to a course or competitive event. Even in the BATF's own literature, they state that if I will be coming a few times per year, then it is easier just to use a hunting license, so then I only have to fill the Form 6 out once per year and it is valid for the entire year. Once approved, they don't care why I'm coming across, as long as I have a valid hunting license for any valid state. So, I went online, and purchased a ND non game license for $17 and got approved. This form is your federal government's way to get around one of their own laws that forbids importing of firearms so that they keep things simple/friendly for us Canadians who want to spend our hard earned dollars in your country. :D

As I am allowed to now possess firearms in the US, then I guess I can open carry. YAY ME !!! I can't wait to sit in a restaurant somewhere, or in front of the LAS VEGAS sign, with either my CZ 85 or Glock 22 on my hip, and post a picture to my facebook to make my fellow Canadians jealous :banana:

Ahh, maybe you should move here to AMERICA!!!
