Default Handguns and sailing

the temptation to flame is too great...however,i am serious when i ask, Do
you know you could get the first shot off without hestation?
I am no prude and own guns but i am torn when it comes to carrying them in
foreign waters. The stats indicate that armed people are far more likely
to get hurt or killed by ther own weapons. We don't practice firing from
the hip on from instinct evry day..and fear is the worst situation under
which to learn and practice using your weapon. you can't learn to be a
killer in an instant.
dunno...just saying. and inspite of all the macho guys that "_say_" they
could kill to defend themslves in a heartbeat: in WWII only one in three
soldiers fired their weapons in battle! and these were guys that wee
being shot at! what do you think that number would be in a situation that
starts out slowly and progresses to the point where you have to be less
civilized than the guy holding you up? 1 in 100 maybe. Remeber as
well...you don;t gey a chance to say "just a minute...i have to go get my
gun from the cupboard". you have to be packing overtly and in that case
the guy with nothing to loose is the clear winner.
I am not being argumentative... i would really like to know. becaue i
don't think i could do it in spite of my ego saying "i could".

I'm looking for some cross-jurisdiction references relating to
regulations/laws for carrying firearms on a boat across coastal state US

Hehee, yeah, but somehow I overcome the temptastion (sp? flames, anyone?)
:-D

Of course, you don't pull "it" out unless you intend to use "it"!


I am no prude and own guns but i am torn when it comes to carrying them in
foreign waters.


I'm still thinking it's better to have, than not...

Well, that's a fact! Until dumbasses or criminals learn how or why to use
their weapons, there will be no doubt...

having been on both the target end and the firing end of a gun, I think it is
best to chose to sail in areas where there is little to no chance of being on
the target end.

In English that means sub-par.

it is interesting to note that the IQ is used to describe deficits in
intelegence...for reason snobs thought that being less deficiant than some
others was an atribute...so they started a club for those less challanged
than the bulk of society...looks good on them.
APFs.
