AMMO THROUGH CANADA
Can ammo be carried from lower 48 to Alaska and back? Thinking of shipping gun from Montana to Tok,AK. Would like to not need to buy ammo. Can ammo be shipped?

In the lower 48, if you get into a questionable situation, the other person(s) will probably have a gun. In Canada this is not normally the case. Different laws and mind sets in Canada regarding firearms. To the best of my knowledge Canada doesn't have a problem such as we have with Chicago being one of the worlds largest outdoor shooting galleries.
In my 53 years of wandering around Canada, I have never felt the need for having a handgun for personal protection. Could change someday I guess. As a Colorado certified cop, there are many places in Denver where I wouldn't go at night unarmed, such as parts of the Five Points area.
Just like working as a personal security associate, being smart is much more important than being armed, IMHO. Whether a person is concerned with two legged or four legged critters, being smart and avoiding trouble is my first choice. Keep a clean camp and stay away from dump bears and bear problems tend to be few and far between. The same applies to two legged problems. If a person's gut feelings is saying to move on, probably best to listen to it.
