Do y'all mount those new 25mm rapid fire guns or will a "Ma Duece" or
simply a .30 cal do?

Seriously, what are the legal and technical ramifications of firearms on
yachts?

TIA

You need a permit to shoot PWD'ers, and the season for water skiers is very short.

Oh No! I meant PWC'ers, not PWD'ers (Portuguese Water Dogs)!

PWCs are like deer here--you can only take one or two each season, depending
upon your license. But there's no bag limit on those taken with your
vehicle, er boat.

A 30 cal just doesn't have the firepower. The 25mm ammo is expensive,
so you don't want to burn up too much. Ma Duece is still da king.
With incendiary tracers, you can even take on the coasties.

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.

Carrying guns on a boat is a foolish and dangerous thing to
do. You're not going to be able to stop the really bad guys
with your puny little weapons. You're just inviting people to
shoot back. Let them take your crap and then get some more.

Spoken like a true liberal! Just what do you think a bad guy is going to
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!

Spoken like a true idiot. Keep your guns, and stay away from
me. I'm not paranoid, I've never had any trouble, and I'm not
a "liberal." You, however, are a reactionary, paraniod fool.
Fortunately, people like you implode on their own.

Have a nice day.

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.
