Hi everyone,
My husband is separating from the military after 10 years and we are headed to Ohio from Arizona.
We own two handguns, a 9mm registered in my name in AZ as an AZ resident, and a .45 ACP registered in his name in TX as a TX resident.
Unfortunately, we are not staying in OH and have no friends or family in OH. We are going to my home in Montreal, Canada for a few months until husband starts his new job.
Itinerary is :
Arizona - Canada by road.
Canada for 45 days.
Canada - Ohio by road.
In comes the issue with firearms. This is what I've learned so far.
A - We cannot ship them as household goods. The transporter forbids it.
B - We cannot bring them with us to Canada. Bringing handguns to Canada is about on par with giving birth in terms of pain level.
C - We cannot ask a friend in AZ to ship the guns to us once we make it to Ohio, as Federal law only allows you to ship a gun to yourself.
D - We cannot store a firearm in a storage facility in Ohio, so while we go through Ohio on our way to Canada, there is nowhere to legally store the weapon (still wondering about that one, do gun stores and ranges offer storage services?).
So... what are we supposed to do?
Thank you.
