Well of course.... but the problem with a mentality about firearms like Ganz
has stemmed from media reports and no actual experience. I was taught to
handle firearms when I was 5 years old. I've always had them and have never
considered them more than a tool. Like a knife they have to be treated with
caution and respect.

I use a parkerized police model 12ga Mossberg because of the weight, style
and load capabilities. It's a pump and I like pump actions. It has the
ability to change barrels and can be altered with a barrel kit and insert to
fire special loads for firing the line launcher. This launcher kit is
excellent aboard a boat and can deliver an 1/8" heaving line to 200 meters.

Like I said before in this thread... the 2 worst prospects for guns aboard
are the "Rambos" and the "Wimps" . The Rambos think a gun will get them out
of any trouble and the wimps think it will get them into all the trouble.

As a survival tool a shotgun can't be beat. Cut the shells to have gunpowder
to start a fire. The sound of the gun fired in the international distress
code of 3 shots can be heard for miles. Food can be secured and self defense
capabilities are increased. I don't view self defense against people...
because were I have been the animals are way hungrier.

If you want to avoid "trouble" when sailing... use your wits.. not a gun.
Avoidance is by far the best defense. Never shoot at something you cannot
positively identify. Never use a firearm as a bluff or deterrent.... if it's
use is required it should be unseen, unexpected and direly required. I can't
remember too many occasions where that scenario has occurred.

Sir Peter Blake was a prime example of how not to use a firearm. I use #9
copper coated bird shot for in house rounds and since I reload my own shells
I reduce the powder load to allow it to just penetrate a piece of plywood to
below the veneer at 10 paces. Unfortunately my reloader and shotgun are
currently in a secure location at a cabin in the NWT. I'm having it shipped
down next week. Damn gun control and registration is screwing things up.

"This year will go down in history- for the first time, a civilized nation
has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more
efficient,
and the world will follow our lead into the future!"

WHY? Do you have any reason to say why?

I'm curious too, since I've seldom been without one since 7 years old
(now 64).

I did have one gun-related accident though. I'd just finished urinating.
As I stepped back to zip my fly the butt of the .45 in my IWB holster
hit on the stall, jabbing the front sight into my behind. This made me
jerk my pelvis forward and thus catch poor Willy in my zipper!

There isn't that much risk if you are prepared but also, that is the
route one takes to deliver a boat from LA to Miami. The route leaves
california, 2000+ miles of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, nicaragua, costa
rica, panama via the canal then north through the yucatan channel then
east to florida. The trip is about 8,000 miles when all is said and done
though if you are not stopping it is less. ...

Isn't overland a viable option?


I for one like going to places that no one else goes to-

Fair enough.


Sorry about
sounding a bit brash the first time. I thought you were being little
like the others here.

I suggest you base your opinion of me on me, rather than on others. If we
were to assume that everyone in here is the same as "the others here", then
you would be the same as "the others" as well.

That sounds like my set up. I have something called DCHP or some such
thing. My brother in law was trying to use my line the other day and
kept putting my ip address in but every time I would go off line to let
him plug in the ip would change. when I would go back online to check it
mine had changed.

I'm not to nerdy but I do know that there is software that hide behind
a fake ip. That is how the spammers send out so much and don't get
caught. Apparently OZ has a copy of the program that does this and he
certainly has enough drive t do it. He has been researching me trying to
find a weakness, as you might have noticed if you have been following
his rant.

OZ you just stepped in it. There is no way to know if I am static or not
but there would be reason to try to convince someone that it was static
if you were worried about getting caught. Maybe I should just send this
thread to abuse and see what they think:-) If you sling it out some of

Somewhere the wrong message was sent. I have a similar upbringing and
opinion to guns as you. I pray I never have to use one but have been in
a position to need one. They are tools and when a 12ga shell costs less
then a $30 lure that a shark decides to eat along with your catch it
actually starts to be a good investment too.

The parkerized finishes by the way don't help the inside so you still
will end up with a stick of rust over time - but the same is true for
the so called stainless steel models that are only SS on the outside.
