Didn't miss the point at all. I and I am sure others would like to hear from travelers that have successfully taken handgun into/through Canada using this form you have provided.
Go to the form I've linked and read the statement between block 8 (f) and (g) and tell us why it is there if this isn't the form to use, plus of course a hand gun is a restricted firearm, so you must have prior permission in form of a Authorization to Transport No. to bring it across the border.
That is not impossible either. simply make the request in the proper method on the correct form.
Here is how
g) - h) If you are declaring a restricted firearm, please print the number of your Authorization to Transport (ATT) and its expiration date. To find out how to apply for an ATT, call the Canadian Firearms Program at 1 800 731-4000 in Canada and the USA, (506) 624-5380 outside Canada and the USA, or visit our web site before you come to Canada.
Here is the blurb direct from the Canadian FAC,
If you are a non-resident and are using a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration to bring a restricted firearm to Canada for an approved purpose , you should contact the applicable CFO in advance to apply for an Authorization to Transport (using form RCMP 5490). The CFO offices can be contacted by phoning the Canadian Firearms Program’s contact centre at 1-800-731-4000. The hours of operation of the contact centre are Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. nationwide.
