I better post quick, these topics seldom last long...
I passed through Glacier enroute to Waterton with a shotgun. Was ready to pay the 25 bucks and file the form. Made the mistake of saying I was going to Waterton.

Tell them just transporting it through to destination.
As for the people saying you can bring in a handgun, forget trying it...
(they may very well be an April fools joke or simply a troll)
