Preliminary planning for AK flight

I remember driving from Glacier to the International Peace Park in 1981.
At the border checkpoint, the Canadian Customs officer was searching the
car.
We watched as his eyes opened wide and his body went stiff as he was
feeling under the drivers seat.
Inquiring what was wrong, he replied in a disappointed tone that he
thought he had found a handgun under the seat, only to learn that the
pistol grip and trigger were attached to a bottle of Windex.

What's the skinny on carrying a gun when flying in Alaska?
Regs or recommendation?
