I bought a Mossberg 590 marine shotgun for the boat. We'll see how well
it holds up. It will need constant oiling, I'm sure but it should fare
better than blued or parkerized.

Gun 33. Good thing I bought another safe!

Nice looking gun. What kind of boat do you have?


Bass boat, center console for sal****er, and my toy to reach the best
bass fishing spots.

Did you get the shot gun for personal security or for the occassional
shark/python/gator?

I've never felt the need to carry a gun on the boat in the US, and
carrying one internationally opens up a whole can of worms clearing in
and out of customs. There are guys in Mexico doing long jail time for
even minor infractions plus their boats were seized.


I bought that gun for shooting clay birds from that boat in open water
when the fishing is slow. I've always carried a small 9mm for the
critters that might board if there was an engine problem on the inland
boat that lacks a trolling motor and wouldn't benefit from one anyway.
