Hmmm,the Texan I can see,the Californian must have been from a state other than California originally
Dont take your guns to town or Canada.
Two American men, one 64 and from Texas and the other 70 and from California, spent five days in a Canadian jail, had to put up $50,000 in bail and may face three years in prison for the trove of guns border guards allegedly found in their Winnebago, the Vancouver Sun reports.
The men, traveling with their wives to Alaska to celebrate a wedding anniversary, crossed the border near Abbotsford, B.C.
A search by Canadian border agents allegedly turned up several pistols and a shotgun. They face charges that include smuggling and possession of prohibited weapons.
Their vacation was over.

The Sun reports:
Vancouver lawyer Joel Whysall, who represents the pair, said the men are both retired and have no criminal records.
These are people who have never been in trouble in their lives and they spent five days in the North Surrey Pre-Trial Centre with hardened criminals and drug addicts, Whysall said.
They were completely besides themselves and it took their wives five days to raise bail to get them out.
