Another US CBP story.

When coming back to America at Bellingham airport with my airplane, they ask if I have any firearms or knives. I say yes. Abhorrent with the info, she asks if Canada knows that. I say yes. She asks why I have them. "Well, because if my engine quits and I survive the landing I can't call 911, AAA or a cab. I'm now in a survival situation. If I or my wife is injured and bleeding I may have to protect ourselves from predatory animals until rescued." Blank stare...

The Canadians seem to understand the requirement, although I am sometimes asked why I have a firearm. Mentioning that I might be low on cash and have to knock over a liquor store is not the answer they're looking for.
