Two Americans are facing 15 weapons-related charges after they were caught at the Aldergrove border crossing on July 11 with five loaded handguns and a loaded shotgun.
The Canada Border Services Agency (BCSA) said the travelers, 70-year-old Hugh Wayne Barr and 64-year-old Danny Ray Cross, were on their way to Alaska when inspectors discovered the cache of guns.
The guns included an Old-West style six-shot revolver and a two-shot Derringer.
Barr and Cross were released July 13 after a Surrey provincial Court judge ordered them each to post $50,000 bail.
The charges against them including multiple counts of smuggling goods into Canada, unauthorized possession of a firearm and possessing a prohibited or restricted firearm and ammunition.
Their next court appearance is set for Aug. 29.
Visitors to Canada may temporarily import non-restricted firearms like hunting rifles and shotguns if they complete a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration, and have a valid purpose such as hunting.
