I may be applying for a Canadian RPAL as a non-resident and see they ask for the province or territory where you will be using the firearm the most.  In my case, I'll be passing through Canada on my way to Alaska and don't intend on using the firearm in any specific province (unless I meet a really pissed off moose or bear).  

I could honestly answer MB, SK, AB, BC, or YT, as I'll be passing through all of them.  (I make a side trip into the NT, but that's unknown.)  Is there any advantage to listing a particular province or territory given my situation?  Also, which provinces/territories are the most firearm friendly?

Thanks,

Mike

As far as firearm-friendly is concerned, as a general rule of thumb, the further east you go, the worse it is, and the further west the better it is.  Even that is in flux, though - Alberta (long considered to be the most firearms-friendly province) just elected an NDP (socialist) government, with an extreme anti-firearms policy (one of the party's specific platform goals is the banning & destruction of all handguns in the country), much to the shock of the firearms community.  It appears it may have been kind of a protest-vote-gone-horribly-wrong situation, but nonetheless...

That government has only been in power for a few days, and haven't yet had time to destroy the province, so firearms-wise, the situation is still more or less as it was.  Stay tuned, though...

For the time being, at least, Alberta, BC, Sask. and the YT are still (relatively speaking) "firearms friendly".

It wasn't a protest vote. It was a prime example of what happens when you have vote splitting. The NDP won most of the ridings by a few hundred votes. If you add up the PC and WR, it leaves the NDP a distant third.

Hello!

It'd all be non-restricted.  I'm just going to mail the suppressors and handguns to myself care of the hotel in Alaska.

Thanks,

Mike
