Two oldest sons are headed to Alaska and both have sporting arms +. What is the proper way to get them through Canada?
US to Alaska?
If there are handguns involved, an FFL cannot transfer them back to your sons while in AK.Ship them to someone there like an FFL or the guide shop you are using. Do not drive with them....
What? You don't fly with guns very often, do you? It's seriously NO ... BIG ... DEAL. There are maybe three major cities/airport (NY, Chicago, NJ) where trouble has occasionally happened, though not very often, and generally under unusual circumstances. Flying out of or into most US cities is such a non-issue as to be not worth mentioning.Fly out of a big city and they are trying to find something to arrest you for.
Hey Kodiak, is a Copyrighed image, or can I make up a back to that and go hawk them to tourist at the weekend market downtown. Would be a HOOT in the lower 48, um can you make change for this?
As for gun, no HANDGUN though Canada, others will require paperwork. Check the above links they have most of them.
84B20 said:Not true. You can bring handguns through Canada if they are not on their restricted list. I have been planning a trip to Alaska and called the RCMP to verify that the two handguns I want to take are approved, my Ruger Redhawk and my 1911. For more info call the RCMP at 800-731-4000 and if they are entering Canada through British Columbia you need to get their approval, just enter extension 9512.
