Crossing Into Canada with a Firearm
Hi everyone: We are in the deep planning stages for a journey to Alaska, sometime in 2016. We plan to bring along a couple of firearms - a 9MM handgun and 12g shotgun.
We have read, pretty much all there is to read about how to legally journey through Canada with firearms and we have obtained the necessary NON-RESIDENT FIREARM DECLARATION form and we "think" that we are ready to attempt the crossing. However, it would surely be helpful if any of you out there have actually had the "experience" of rolling up to Customs Gate with firearms in your camper, and actually making the "declaration." Your first hand account of your experience would be most valuable for us.
Both my shotgun, which is a Mossberg Model 590, 20 gauge with a 20 inch barrel, and, my handgun, a CZ 75B with a 4.60 inch barrel length, I believe, "meet" the requirements for legal passage into Canada.
If you have had this experience in your camping journeys, it would be very much appreciated if you could share your thoughts and advice.
Thanx .... Dan
