Obviously you can't carry into Canada, yes I know this. But as I was crossing the border the young woman at Canadian Customs asked if I had "another form of I.D." Granted I had already given her a valid birth certificate, as well as my drivers license.
I assumed that she was referencing that on her screen I came up as a CWP holder. So I said yes, I do have another form of I.D. I have my permit to carry. I handed it to her, she closed the window, turned to the agent next to her and half shreaked "THIS F-IN KID HAS A PERMIT TO CARRY A GUN" And than of course, my friend and I were asked to pull aside so we could be searched (again, seeing as we had JUST been searched by the American border patrol, even had a dog run around and in the truck.
The entire time the border patrol agent playing the bad cop routine, looking at us before he begins to search and stating "is there anything I'm going to find in here guys? If you tell me now it's going to be a lot easier on you". By this time my friends freaking out thinking that because we're young (20's) that the officer will plant something, or perhaps he'll find a pocket knife and we'll go to jail for years.
But all in all, I was just curious if anyone else has been searched simply because they had a permit to carry? At least I think that is why we were searched? I asked the Canadian BP if that was the reason he searched us and he said no, but thanked me for telling him that I had a permit to carry. Then he began to reference that he did not even get to carry while on duty.
