Don't even think about trying to take your handguns into Canada. The consequences are very severe, and would probably include jail time. Respect their laws and cultures and you will have a great time.
As a side note, I have found the Canadian people to be more friendly and helpful than many Americans, and traveling in the western and northern provinces, you will have no need for self protection.
You should actually read the Canadian law prior to posting.
I am intimately familiar with Canadian laws, having lived there. Yes, the statutes would seem to indicate that an American can bring a handgun into Canada while enroute to Alaska by just merely filing a piece of paper. The reality is the casual traveler almost never gets the approval. As I posted, the consequences are severe if one tries to bring them in without the paperwork previously filed and approved, whether they announce them at the border or not. For you to imply otherwise is irresponsible and dangerous.
Yep it's really irresponsible of me to tell him to read the law, and comply.
You did not tell him to read the law...you told me! And that does not change what I said. Attempting to bring a handgun into Canada without prior approval could lead to severe penalties including jail time. And implying that all one has to do is file a form isnt going to grant him permission.
I await your reply as you seem to have to have the last word on everything!
