Several border guards come in and inform the group they were being investigated for importing a prohibited firearm. Turns out, the border guards found a loaded .38 pistol(prohibited in Canada) under the seat.

The group frantically calls the seller who confirms that the gun is his and it must have fallen out of his waistband or something like that. The border guards confiscate it, and let our guys continue into Canada.
