So, who knows?

Food for thought?
I also travel extensively in The US.

The last time I crossed, at Fort Erie on the way to Pa., the border guy took my passport card, carry permits and me, into the office for a secondary inspection. For some reason, they wanted to check my reciprocities. I wasn't going to argue with them. He then checked my trunk set-up. He told me privately that he is totally in favor of concealed carry and civilian self-defense, but they have tightened up at the border. I asked him if the same thing will happen the next time I cross and he said, yes.

I travel with a binder containing my Canadian papers, a letter from the ATF stating that Americans do not need a Form 6NIA, and a contact number with a NYS Trooper, Batavia--verifying conformance with Title 18. I haven't had to use it.

But, as you say, who knows? These are strange times.
