Starting to plan an Alaska trip what are the boon docking

Bubba (wife) an I are just got our copy of The MILEPOST book. Does anyone know about boon docking laws. Bubba and I are conceal carry permit holders. But says they can confiscate your RV if caught carrying. We are full-time RVING any suggestions. Could ship to one of our kids by gun brokers, that's kind of a pain in the a$$. Wouldn't mind have my judge pistol with buckshot load hiking. Another question can you carry in national parks in Alaska?. Could look for gun broker in Alaska still another pain in the a$$. Should I roll the dice??????

  • I guess the safe bet would be find a gun broker in Watson lake then sell it at broker on way out. Although Canada is a very liberal country. Could get my teeth fixed and bad keen. There is my lazy eye that OBAMA CARE WON'T COVER. L.O.L

    we would be doing some boon docking , how are the laws pertaining to that.

    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.

    Google " Alaskan gun law" and you'll get "https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Alaskan+gun+law

    "Alaska Concealed Handgun. Alaska's laws do not prohibit anyone 21 or older who may legally possess a firearm from carrying it concealed. A special permit is not required. Possession of a firearm, whether concealed or open, is restricted in some circumstances and locations."

    Once in Alaska,,,,, you'll have no problems,, be careful how you get there. Best start by reading the Canadian gun laws. @ http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/index-eng.htm. For your hand gun you will be required to have a transport license, which must be obtained from Ottawa. not the border guard.
    Whoops!!!! I just looked up what a "JUDGE" is. it only has a 3" barrel.. can't go to CANADA... Read the laws mentioned above.
  • Assume you are referring about getting through Canada? If you are willing to give your RV to Canada, as well as facing either immediate expulsion or jail time, feel free to try to take your Judge into Canada.
    The option to mail it to relatives in Alaska is your better choice.
