Welcome Terry205. I’m sure you’ll receive some good responses.
I think we know more about the US. states you’ll be venturing into than we do Canada. Sorry if I say anything you already know.
Two things come to mind: One is please check the laws of each U.S. state you might cross into regarding reciprocity.
Secondly: Canada has very strict, complicated and little known laws. I heard of some Americans even having their firearms confiscated at the border, never being returned to them. I could not emphasize enough - do not bring a firearm into Canada unless you are 100% sure they will allow you, down to the specific make, model, and magazine capacity if they even allow that.
I wish I could “carry” there. When I do visit there, I plan to study up first. Just not yet been able to book a trip there. I’m sure it’ll be fun even without carrying, either way.
Enjoy your safe trip.
