Or, if you wish, you could take the Marine Highway Ferry from Bellingham to Alaska. Avoids Canada altogether and allows you to carry your guns.
As to boondocking...if you choose to drive up and back...in BC and Yukon there is an abundance of boondocking spots and although some Rest Areas are actually signed 'No Camping'...there is no issue with overnighting. Or you can just turn up a likely looking road and find a wide spot. Google Maps and Earth is ideal for the planning of this.

Gary is correct. The AMH Ferries traveling between Bellingham and Ketchican do not stop at Prince Rupert. Something to do with the Maritime laws.
On a side note, the Ferry from Ketchican to Prince Rupert does not leave Prince Rupert for the northbound trip until all passengers and vehicles have either cleared Canadian customs or have been denied entry into Canada. If you are denied entry into Canada, the ferry will transport you and/or your vehicle back to Ketchican. I don't know if there is a fee for this return trip. The ferry will not leave you stranded in no-man's land at the AMS parking lot in Prince Rupert.
