If you want to Pi$$ in the black guys Wheaties that fine with me...

  I wouldnt mind getting in on that

But anyway..back on track. What this thread means is if you want to ship something across the borders you have to put in a backpack and strap it to a Mexican. It'll get there I'm jis sayin

You are welcome to your thoughts. But every word I posted is a matter of public record.
I still would like the law that covers shipping a rifle scope to Canada. I have been looking for it and just plain can not find a thing that says you can not legally do so.

Rather than me waste my time with looking it up or have someone think that I made the whole thing up after I do the look up, just call Homeland Security.  Here is their link: http://www.dhs.gov/contact-us

Came across this in my search dated 2010.

"To legally ship a scope from the USA to Canada, whether it be new or used, an export permit is required from the US authorities"

Also came across this,
Way I read it, it is OK just get the permits.

Thanks for looking that up.  Looks like they loosened the rules recently, in May.  I live in Canada and have heard of so many hassles about trying to bring a scope or almost any firearm related item into Canada that I don't bother.  Canada allows it but the US side has sometimes hassled people, sometimes not, probably depends on the officer handling each case, whether he or she knows the law and whether he wants to hassle a gun owner.

If I read English correctly they changed the previous rules in May 2015 and reduced the restrictions. 

It is kind of like getting a permit to carry in D.C.:   no problem in the law but as much bureaucratic hassle as the permitting officer wants to dish out.

Mail a scope to me and we'll see how it works!     Two people I know have had scopes mailed to Canada with no problem.  Others have headaches, with and without permits.
