Good Evening, it has been awhile since my last post, but I was hoping to get some advice regarding a driving through Canada. I’ll be heading back to Juneau in a few days, and have decided to drive my car up to Alaska. I’ll be driving straight through Canada and probably wont be more than 48hrs.
1. Can you fill out the firearms declaration at the boarder, or is it necessary to fill it out in advance?
2. Are they serious about the 200 round limits? I could understand if they were referring to center fire cartridges, but applying that limit to .22LR cartridges seems a little over zealous.
3. Does the 200 round limit apply to each vehicle, or each person traveling.
4. Is the 5 round limit for rifles and shotguns strictly enforced. The reason I ask is that my shotgun falls within the limit, 5+1, however, my .22 will only except 10 round magazines. My only thoughts are trying to put a spacer under the spring in order to reduce the capacity, or “losing” the magazine” and using the firearm as a single shot during my brief stay.
5. Does the 50 cigar limit apply to each vehicle or person? The thought of saying goodbye to half my humidor puts me in a huff.
6. Do the small gas stations along the way accept visa or cash only? For safety reasons I prefer not to travel with large amounts of cash. If a credit card gets stolen it’s easy enough to cancel it.
Your advice and input is sincerely appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Josh
