Hand guns are legal in Canada if you follow the guide lines. They are posted on line. And barrel length is important. I can't take my Springfield XD 40 with me because the Barrel is a 1/4 inch too short but I can take my Astra .357 revolver with a 5 1/2" barrel. Have the paperwork done ahead of time and be ready to pay the registration fee. If you have any questions, call the number that is provided. I think the Shotgun idea is the best. After having personally seen all the critters that could hurt you, I'll go for the 12 gauge stopping power. Oh, if you have a knife (folder) on board, it is not a weapon, it's a tool. You won't loose it then at the border when they ask if you have ANY weapons on board. Do it the right way and you won't have any problems crossing the boarder. Even pepper spray is prohibited. Unless it is marked as a BEAR REPELLENT. Or so I've been told at the stores in Alaska. Good luck, it's a fantastic trip that I already want to do again.

Way to cold for us Floridians...don't do it.
