Anybody talking dates yet?
NO!!! HAND GUNS!!! in Canadacjct21 said:Like many of the others this is a bucket list trip for me. I would be interested in camping, but worried about the wildlife (mostly human but bear too). Does anyone carry a pistol in case of danger (if so what cal)? I am 37 have two small kids so this trip is quite a ways off for me. I can live vicariously though. Hope to hear/see updates on this trip.

Hand guns in Canada equals "free room and board" without the door key!cjct21 said:Like many of the others this is a bucket list trip for me.

Good to know. Free room and boardSingleTrackMind said:Hand guns in Canada equals "free room and board" without the door key!
I hope some Canadanites will straighten us out on this but I called them on this and they told me no way.WRW9751 said:I'm told that you can with proper authorization! Can legally carry a +6" barreled revolver. No autos! I recently have read that!

Hope I understood that correctly!
To mail / ship a handgun from lower 48 to Alaska you must use a FFL (Federal Firearms Licensed Dealer) at both ends and both ways.rem said:After jumping through beaucoup bureaucratic hoops, you MAY ... I stress MAY ... be allowed to bring a handgun across the border. But that will only allow you to carry it through Canada, not take it out and use it. Research carefully. A handgun is a restricted weapon in Canada. I seriously doubt you would be able to legally take it out of storage within Canada, even if you were allowed to bring it across the border, which is doubtful. If you want to get it into Alaska, mail it. Whatever you do, be truthful about what you're doing with the border crossing people. They can actually assist you, or they can become your worst nightmare. They have more power than God. Or even my wife. Good luck. RR ::024::

You don't need a hunting licence to carry a shot gun on your vehicle , has to be locked and out of sight un loaded.rem said:Possibly, but then you would have to adhere to Provincial hunting legislation. You would likely need a hunting licence from each Province that you pass through. I'm not sure, but better check it out. They don't make it easy. Canada has a great fear of firearms in general. Yukon is pretty relaxed about all this stuff, but the Provinces get quite perturbated about it. R.
RyanRyan G. said:Alaska is wonderful and has incredible riding. However, it ain't the "last frontier" it used to be. There's Walmarts and McDonalds and if you break down you can call AAA. And yes, there are paved roads. If you need a gun, buy a 12 gauge at a Fairbanks pawn shop for 80$ and sell it back for $60 when you are done. You can buy a cheap 22 at Walmart and keep the receipt and return it. Guns are fun but a real hassle to travel with. Do not !!, get caught shooting anything bigger then a squirrel in Alaska.
Also, it should be said that any trip through Alaska ain't bad but don't forget about Canada. The ride thru the Canadian Western Territories is awesome

Steve I think it's your video I have but did you guys take a shot gun with you and if so how did the border crossings go and what paper work do you need?eemsreno said:Ryan
I seen Alaska the same as you. It is not the Last frontier compared to the Yukon , Northern BC and the NWT it was almost disappointing how busy it is.
My son and I actually liked northern Canada better. Remote!!
