C'mon, ya really gotta know that you can't bring guns across the border.
U.S. tourists busted for Winnebago gun arsenal
VANCOUVER — Two American tourists spent five days in jail, put up $50,000 each in bail and are facing three years behind bars after border guards seized a small arsenal of firearms at the U.S.-Canada border crossing last week.
Danny Cross, brother-in-law Hugh Barr and their wives were on their way to Alaska to celebrate Cross's wedding anniversary when they were stopped at the Aldergrove-Huntington border crossing, 65 kilometres southeast of Vancouver, on July 11.
Cross is 64 and from Texas; Barr is 70 and from California.
The Canada Border Service Agency said that when officers searched their 2008 Winnebago after they said they had nothing to declare, the officers found a derringer-type pistol, a cowboy-style revolver, three semi-automatic pistols and a shotgun.
"The travellers did not declare any firearms during the primary examination but firearms were discovered in the vehicle during a secondary examination," said CBSA official Stefanie Wudel.

Seriously???
The 'sniff test'? EEW!!!
Real men wear dirty underwear, survey shows
When it comes to airing their dirty laundry in public, men win hands down. Or noses up, as the case may be.
A survey by Clorox found that nearly 50 per cent of men have no problem wearing clothes - including underwear - many times before washing them.
It's not that men have something against clean clothes. It's the cleaning of the clothes that's the sticky point.
The survey, which involved phone interviews with 1,200 adults, found that when men do the laundry, nearly 50 per cent of them rely on a "sniff test" to determine whether the clothes need washing.
Blue jeans average five wearings between washings. Underwear is worn twice, although 12 per cent of the men said they'll often manage a third use.
One might think that single men looking to impress the ladies would have cleaner clothes than men involved in committed relationships. But it's actually the other way around, according to Clorox scientist Mary Gagliardi, who blogs for the company under the moniker Dr. Laundry.
Men in relationships tend to wear clothes that are cleaned more often, although who is actually cleaning them is up for debate.
Nearly 41 per cent of men told pollsters that they share laundry responsibilities with their partners. But when women were asked the same question, only 29 per cent of them reported that their men were helping.
