Best Deck Gun?
 

Knew you'd pick up that straight line.... now, are you wearing the
black leather or the shiny rubber outfit when participating in this
sport?

I was referring to the petunias....

were boarded by some escapees... they leave these people to walk the

when they were boarded the old man pulled a gun and told them to stop.
he did not fire. he was killed in the process. Is this the man you are

You are obviously of the weaker mindset and would never be welcomed
aboard my ships. Down unders laws against guns proved that if you don't
have guns you get more crime. Georgia has a town that requires every man
over a certain age to be armed and they have no crime. You are obviously
just a weak fool that likes to be led. I am a strong man that takes care
of business. i came here before to find insolence like you then. I am
not surprised that arm chair want-to-bes like you are still here. Grow
some balls and then we will be on an equal field to discuss things.
Until then, neither i nor anyone else with any testosterone would ever
consider you to be a man enough to bother conversing with and in person
i would probably ignore you at best. I don't respect skinny little
weasel types that have no opinions that are not given to them or can't
stand up for themselves. My stuff is mine and if you ever try to take it
I will take your life... and probably enjoy doing it.

[snip]

Nothing of the kind. The most you can say is that there is no
relationship between laws restricting gun ownership and a decrease in
crime. That's a lot different from saying that laws restricting
ownership cause more crime. Still, I expect subtle points of
statistics are beyond your comprehension. They seem to be beyond Oz's
as well, but that's not news.

I've owned firearms all my life and am entirely capable of building my
own if I want to, so don't give me any of your macho crap. A real
human being is one who treats his/her fellows with the same courtesy
and respect as they wish to recieve. People like you are slowly
getting culled out of the gene pool and not before time either. You're
a waste of time & space. I can't imagine why any sensible person would
want to be on one of your dinghies. Not more than once, anyway.

Im the bahamas and miami you won't have an eye batted at you for

I was stopped mid gulf stream but the uscg. they asked why I had a 357

I was carrying a SKS10 assault rifle and I said to shot anyone I
needed to hit that was out of range of my shotgun and they said - OK.

In Golfito Costa Rica the port captain asked if I had any guns. I told
him no and then he gave me a lecture about why I should and trying to
make me go out and by one with his help.

In California I had a gun on board and someone saw it. Within 20 minutes
I had local police and the harbour patrol on my boat illegally to search
it. I had to radio the uscg to have them intervene.

it just depends on the area you are in to know how people will react to

judged by 12 then it is to get carried by 6.

What is with you people. You have obviously never been out of a city
limit. Reactionary and paranoid? How about realistic and knowledgeable.
How about having 5 people try to board my boat in Nicaragua and having
to protect my wife who happens to be very pretty and their target? How
about having ot keep the peace until the coast guard came when 20 cuban
rafters were trying to get on my boat after drifting for about 2 weeks?
-and if you have never seen people that have had no water for 2 weeks
don't ever start to talk to me about that! How about over a dozen
incidents that either friends of mine have had or I have had that would
have meant death if I had not been armed.... You people are just so
inexperienced in the real world that you reek from it.

I am very sorry to hear of your loose of friend but his is not the

from desperate men with large knives and they board at night when the

gun on board either arrests the perpetrators or ends the threat. Guns on
board are an absolute must if you intend to go anywhere in the not so
civilized world. My crew depends on my ability to protect them in all
matters. The ships I captain, both while acting as master of a freighter
and as master of my own sailboat while cruising have thousands of
dollars cash onboard as well as cargo of sorts be it cargo or crew. I
venture into waters that don't have anyone looking after it. My advice
should be listened to. the man that asked got good advice to protect
himself and crew. The whining from here is what I would expect from only
the most inexperienced of the most inexperienced. Those thinking that

please tell me that you are not seriously comparing the number of US gun

but I am sure you are well aware that the us is something like
200,000,000 people and ausi is something like 25,000,000 counting
tourists. I am fully versed on your laws that went into effect a few
years back and the statistic that showed a 400% increase in homicide.
Are you aware of it? Anyway, I have wasted enough time on your lot here.

What is with you? Why were in Nicaragua? Are you a member
of the local secret police? Perhaps you should be a bit more
careful about where you sail.

Why were you so close to obvious scumbag rafters? How could
they possibly try to "get on your boat"?? Why not just sail or motor
away? You dump them some water and move away. Only an idiot
or a fool would get close to desperate people on the high seas.

Sounds to me like you have extremely bad karma or are really
stupid or foodhardy to put yourself in these "dozen" incident
situations. Perhaps you should re-evaluate. I've sailed in a lot
of places, and none of them waranted caring firearms. Only a
fool would do it. Most places would confiscate them at a
minimum.

In any case, this is an old, stupid argument. It's more religion

I was bringing my boat to Miami from Los Angeles and found my sails in
need of repair when unexpected 70 knot winds jumped up from 4-7 knots
and took out my mainsail.


Why were you so close to obvious scumbag rafters? How could
they possibly try to "get on your boat"??

When you find men at peril while at sea it is internationally known to
sailors that you must stop to help. I was rendering services of life
jackets and water while trying to keep them off of my boat thereby
forcing me to sail them back to their country. The US will not allow US
flag ships to enter US ports with illegal immigrants and the boats with
those people will be forced back to the country of the people on board.
that would cause hell, trust me. The right thing and only thing to do is
control the situation before life threatening situations occur. The best
way I have found is to use a guard tactic to keep them off the boat and
call the coast guard. That is the recommended way by the USCG by the way
and not something I decided. I was about 10 miles west of Gun Cay when I
came across the 20. I have seen others but the situation was never as
desperate.


Why not just sail or motor
away? You dump them some water and move away. Only an idiot
or a fool would get close to desperate people on the high seas


You are wrong, suggesting illegal actions and are not suggesting
seamanship. Maybe you are just unaware that if you find someone at sea
in peril that it is your legal duty to help. It is.
..

Sounds to me like you have extremely bad karma or are really
stupid or foodhardy to put yourself in these "dozen" incident
situations.

Perhaps I just happen to be someone with many 10's of thousands of sea
miles along coastal routes. I am.


Perhaps you should re-evaluate. I've sailed in a lot
of places, and none of them waranted caring firearms. Only a
fool would do it. Most places would confiscate them at a
minimum.


have no idea where you have sailed but that is not the custom. If you
enter a port where firearms are restricted, there are 2 practiced
procedures. The first and most common is to put an official tape over
the gun locker not to be broken until the ship sets sail from the port.
The lessor used method is to check your guns with the port captain to
retake them upon checking out of the country. There is no other way to
deal with it and that is law under the treaty of sea fairing nations 1978.


In any case, this is an old, stupid argument. It's more religion
than anything else. Keep your f*cking guns and keep the f*ck
away from me. You're bad news.


You are uneducated, inexperienced and rude as well as a preacher of

do after he takes your stuff? Is he going to say thanks and tell you
that is has been nice meeting you and ask you to please don't tell
anyone? In fact, guns have stopped the bad guys. I have stopped the bad
guys on more occasions then one. I have absolutely no problem with that
and actually feel really good about helping to rid the world of slime
that would have only hurt another person next. the constables were very
happy too. You can take your bend over and take it in the butt attitude
and go back to your fearful cave. I prefer to take care of myself and
family before worrying about offending the weak cry babies of the world.
The only thing foolish about having a gun on board is if you decided not
to use it should the need rise!

this has been a truly fun thread to read but if you want a practical
answer to your question you will likely have to detail the question to

a

specific area.

Im the bahamas and miami you won't have an eye batted at you for
carrying guns of just about any kind. People there know that if you

are

out and something happens you need to be able to take care of

yourself.

I was stopped mid gulf stream but the uscg. they asked why I had a 357
and I said to shot anyone that got on board. They asked why I had a
shotgun and I said to stop anyone trying to get on board. they asked

why

I was carrying a SKS10 assault rifle and I said to shot anyone I
needed to hit that was out of range of my shotgun and they said - OK.

In Golfito Costa Rica the port captain asked if I had any guns. I told
him no and then he gave me a lecture about why I should and trying to
make me go out and by one with his help.

In California I had a gun on board and someone saw it. Within 20

minutes

I had local police and the harbour patrol on my boat illegally to

search

it. I had to radio the uscg to have them intervene.

it just depends on the area you are in to know how people will react

to

you having guns on board. Just remember that it is a lot easier to be
judged by 12 then it is to get carried by 6.

No. You're wrong. You don't have to stop or render help. You're
obligated to protect your boat and the people on it first. If and only
if you can help others without putting yourself in peril, then you should
render aid.

When you find men at peril while at sea it is internationally known to
sailors that you must stop to help. I was rendering services of life
jackets and water while trying to keep them off of my boat thereby
forcing me to sail them back to their country. The US will not allow US
flag ships to enter US ports with illegal immigrants and the boats with
those people will be forced back to the country of the people on board.
that would cause hell, trust me. The right thing and only thing to do is
control the situation before life threatening situations occur. The best
way I have found is to use a guard tactic to keep them off the boat and
call the coast guard. That is the recommended way by the USCG by the way
and not something I decided. I was about 10 miles west of Gun Cay when I
came across the 20. I have seen others but the situation was never as
desperate.


Wrong again. It shows good sense, which obviously you're lacking.

You are wrong, suggesting illegal actions and are not suggesting
seamanship. Maybe you are just unaware that if you find someone at sea
in peril that it is your legal duty to help. It is.


Perhaps you're just a loser, who is sailing from the liquor cabinate
to the barcalounger. You clearly know nothing about sailing or
safety at sea.

Perhaps I just happen to be someone with many 10's of thousands of sea
miles along coastal routes. I am.


Sure right. Whatever you say. You're obviously the expert.

have no idea where you have sailed but that is not the custom. If you
enter a port where firearms are restricted, there are 2 practiced
procedures. The first and most common is to put an official tape over
the gun locker not to be broken until the ship sets sail from the port.
The lessor used method is to check your guns with the port captain to
retake them upon checking out of the country. There is no other way to
deal with it and that is law under the treaty of sea fairing nations 1978.


If that's what you think, feel free to pack your guns and go sailing. I'm
certain we'll never cross paths, because likely you're too stupid to follow
one.

Up to here we are I assume dealing with facts. Beyond that with your
assumptions. If he surprised the nervous thieves, it's likely they'd
have shot him anyway.

In any event, your attitude is most gratifying. You see, I was concerned

I don't really know why I am bothering but just for fun- Nicaragua has
winds that come up from nowhere through the mountains and you must stay
"one foot on the sand" or get crushed 1 mile out, the coast guard does
not live in those waters, the nearest fuel stops are many hundreds of
miles apart, I like to sail rather then run out of fuel when I need it
and you can look up my master license with the uscg - they have my sea
hours. You can look at the pictures at the site and see that I have
sailed at least from LA to Miami. I have sailed much more- many 10's of
thousands and 20 thousand have been captain of long tow. How about you?

Thought you'd carry a firearm to get a seal or 2. Works for fishermen
down here, long as there are no bleeding hearts about. Or sharks if
you're into 'sport' fishing. Personally I prefer a gillnet and a few
drinks to trolling or baiting fish (unlike a lot of people on this
n/g).

I'd think about carrying a shotgun or rifle aboard if I had the space,
but not for defence against pirates or thieves - vanishingly unlikely
need. Firearms are occasionally very useful tools and it depends what
you're doing, where the utility lies. In fact I have a rifle safe
aboard ship.

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. Nicaragua, by the way, is a
wonderful place with a few executions of awful. Only certain areas are
bad for people. The surf there is incredible because the wind is
offshore so often (although it gets a bit strong without warning and
there are lots of sharks)

I for one like going to places that no one else goes to- Sorry about
sounding a bit brash the first time. I thought you were being little
like the others here.

I found this


One year after gun-owners were forced to surrender 640,381
personal firearms to be destroyed, including semi-automatic
..22 rifles and shotguns, a program costing the government
over 500 million dollars, the results are in...

A dramatic increase in criminal activity has been experienced.
Gun control advocates respond "Just wait... we'll be safer...
you'll see...".

OBSERVABLE FACT, AFTER 12 MONTHS OF DATA:

* Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2%

* Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6%

* Australia-wide, armed-robberies are up 44% (yes, FORTY-FOUR PERCENT)

* In the state of Victoria, homicides-with-firearms are up 300%

* Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in
homicides-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past 12
months)

* Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in
armed-robbery-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past
12 months)

* There has been a dramatic increase in breakins-and-assaults-of-
the-elderly

* At the time of the ban, the Prime Minister said "self-defense
is not a reason for owning a firearm"

* From 1910 to present, homicides in Australia had averaged about
1.8-per-100,000 or lower, a safe society by any standard.

* The ban has destroyed Australia's standings in some international
sport shooting competitions

* The membership of the Australian Sports Shooting Association
has risen to 112,000, a 200% increase, in response to the ban and
as an attempt to organize against further controls, which are
expected.

* Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain
how no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such
monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in
"ridding society of guns". Their response has been to "wait
longer".

For example, the premier anti-gun org here in the USA claims one is 37
times more likely to be shot with your own gun than use it in self
defense but closer examination proved that a lie - they'd juggled the
stats. It then came out that the org (HCI) had been established and
funded by churches to protect criminals from their victims!! With all
due respect that experience has made me suspicious of "proof" til I
check it out. Many intellegent, well meaning people have been duped by
these religious nut cases.

I don't really know why I am bothering but just for fun- Nicaragua has
winds that come up from nowhere through the mountains and you must stay
"one foot on the sand" or get crushed 1 mile out, the coast guard does
not live in those waters, the nearest fuel stops are many hundreds of
miles apart, I like to sail rather then run out of fuel when I need it
and you can look up my master license with the uscg - they have my sea
hours. You can look at the pictures at the site and see that I have
sailed at least from LA to Miami. I have sailed much more- many 10's of
thousands and 20 thousand have been captain of long tow. How about you?



I won twelve trophies for racing, last year. I don't know how many
I've already won this year, but last week I got trophies for two first
places, and two second places during Race Week.


You should be proud of those trophies. I have a wall full of them that I
am proud of too.

Oh, I'm so scared!

I found this


One year after gun-owners were forced to surrender 640,381
personal firearms to be destroyed, including semi-automatic
.22 rifles and shotguns, a program costing the government
over 500 million dollars, the results are in...

A dramatic increase in criminal activity has been experienced.
Gun control advocates respond "Just wait... we'll be safer...
you'll see...".

OBSERVABLE FACT, AFTER 12 MONTHS OF DATA:

* Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2%

* Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6%

* Australia-wide, armed-robberies are up 44% (yes, FORTY-FOUR

PERCENT)

* In the state of Victoria, homicides-with-firearms are up 300%

* Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in
homicides-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past 12
months)

* Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in
armed-robbery-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past
12 months)

* There has been a dramatic increase in breakins-and-assaults-of-
the-elderly

* At the time of the ban, the Prime Minister said "self-defense
is not a reason for owning a firearm"

* From 1910 to present, homicides in Australia had averaged about
1.8-per-100,000 or lower, a safe society by any standard.

* The ban has destroyed Australia's standings in some international
sport shooting competitions

* The membership of the Australian Sports Shooting Association
has risen to 112,000, a 200% increase, in response to the ban and
as an attempt to organize against further controls, which are
expected.

* Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain
how no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such
monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in
"ridding society of guns". Their response has been to "wait
longer".
