Crossing Into Canada with a Firearm

So if you do not have a permanent residence (full timing in camper), where might one store rifles, shotguns, handguns for a year or so while taking a trip up through Canada to Alaska?

Really big safety deposit box?

As Bedlam shares too, most border American border towns have gun shops set up for storing of firearms for those that carry up to the border and not over.

A quick check on Google often supplies this information. Most gun shops will store weapons for periods of time. I currently have one in a shop in Colorado, for storage. Also, purchasing weapons in states you don't legally reside can be challenging, as you must ship this new firearm to a gun dealer in your home state and then must be present to pick it up.

As for fulltimers, they learn very quickly the residency requirements for many things, voting, vehicle registration, mail, gun permits, drivers’ licenses and health insurance. Which is another hurdle to learn when choosing to fulltime and you don't have a home or any other property to your name.

Bottom line is, don't take a gun into a foreign country. Leave it at home or make arrangements to store it prior to arriving at the border. Mexico is even stricter. Ammunition found in your RV there will get you detained.
