They're more like guidelines, anyways. |

and your handgun will do what? from your boat where?
I do not own a handgun. In fact, the only time I have ever fired such was in Marine Corps training, and then with a Colt 1911A7 .45, a POS that fired so inaccurately that a 50 foot shot was considered -- by the Marine Corps -- to be long distance. I had also fired a rifle at up to 500 yards, qualifying as an Expert. The point was not the a pistol is a superior weapon, it is not, but rather that Canada allows such to imported under certain conditions. I understand the standard weapon in Yellowknife households is a rifle or sometimes shotgun, loaded and kept near the front door ready for immediate use in case children or adults need protection from hungry bear. If I were to make the Inside Passage and were to consider it likely going ashore, I probably would consider taking a rifle with me. I do know that prior when my brother was considering flying a small aircraft from Montana to Alaska he was told by the Canadian authorities that he would be required to take a large bore (meaning NOT a .22) rifle or shotgun with him as he passed over Canadian territory. It had to be a large rifle or shotgun unless his aircraft was physically too small to carry such, in which case he would be allowed to carry a large bore pistol, but he would be inspected so if the rifle would fit, take it. |

Written a definitive treatise on the subject? Yet another thing to add to the already long list of subjects about which you know absolutely nothing, how people live in Yellowknife. Mooron would kill himself laughing at your fear and naiveté. Cheers Marty |

What kind of bear? Most black bears are harmless, and are afraid of people. Even Horvath knows more than Jax! Cheers Marty |
