Why would
you want to discharge firearms on the water? What are you shooting at,
the horizon?


I will agree trying to shoot a rifle at something a couple hundred
yards away from a bouncing boat might just be shooting at the horizon
but I could see shooting a shotgun at thrown targets. They do it on
cruise ships all the time. You might even want to test fire a handgun
or do some 7 yard drills. One problem a lot of people have is finding
a safe place to shoot these days. If you were a couple miles offshore
with no boats in sight that is pretty safe.



O'Hara seems to break everything he touches...he'll end up shooting
himself or a guest.

No sweat off my brow.
