Thanks, I read that the other day, so it certainly seems possible. I'm curious if anyone has done it (passing through on the way to Alaska or on a few days jaunt to Canada) and did they run into any issues? Sorry if I am hijacking OP's question.... Thought this was be an appropriate place to ask.
If you were crossing with a handgun, and declared it, the best you can hope for is being turned back and not allowed in Canada at this time.
If you are crossing and did not declare it, and they
find it; you will be turned back, probably
never allowed in Canada again and your gun will be taken and
never returned.
If you are crossing with a rife or shotgun (or pepper-spray for that matter) and tell them "self-defense", see above. The only acceptable answer is "I plan on hunting in Alaska" (Pepper-spray is allowed for anti-bear work
only.
Some people have mailed their pistols to gun-shops in Alaska, picked them up there, then mailed them back.
