That F6 is fine.... Most of the time my copy looks like s***.
Transport yer guns as you would here at home and thou shalt have no problems...

Now find a match to go to in the USA and from there on in realize how lame shooting is here:D

Okay, so its not actually my form 6, its really just my application back with an office use only reference number and a signature.
Is this good enough to get me into the states with the invitation/hunting license, or do they mail an actual permit?
Also, the faxed approved form 6 application is pretty grainy, does this attract questions at the border?
Also, although I feel somewhat like an idiot asking this question, what are the transport requirements in the Northeast states for restricted firearms. Can they be transported loaded in the glove compartment? Loaded at all? Kept in the locked gun case? Thanks

It's good enough.

The CBP agent may ask about it; just answer truthfully.

Transport requirements vary, depending upon the particular state.

Here are some resources:

I thought I may have posted my question in the wrong category but perhaps not. My post was titled "Travel to the USA". One of my questions has to do with the requirements at the border when crossing. Is it necessary to declare that you have firearms or just to answer accurately when asked and produce this "Form 6". I have been "down there" many dozens of times and the conventional wisdom is to answer questions honestly but not to volunteer at risk of hitting an agent having a bad day.
 
I believe you are under an obligation to declare ANY and ALL firearms... even if not specifically asked. Not doing so would be a felony as I understand.

It's in the same category as declaring if you have $10,000 plus in your possession.
 
Handing them your passport and Form 6NIA is effectively the same thing as declaring them.

When the agent sees the Form 6NIA, the relevant questions will follow.

Well, answer me this, are there any states whose transport regulations are more strict than Canada?

I don' t know, but could they be more restrictive? I doubt it.

When I cross, I always tell them immediately that I am going to a pistol match. Some of them have never seen a Form 6 before, just handing it to them without the explanation will not work well. Even though the fax copy can be crappy, it is usually not a problem except when a newbie told me it is invalid because they (US Customs) only accept original documents. The exception to that is the Form 6 NIA which after I asked to speak to his supervisor was pointed out to the rookie.

Make sure you have you match invitation with you!
