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". rick On Wed, 31 Mar 2004 06:18:31 GMT, TF wrote: I'm looking for some cross-jurisdiction references relating to regulations/laws for carrying firearms on a boat across coastal state US lines.

Hehee, yeah, but somehow I overcome the temptastion (sp? flames, anyone?) :-D however,i am serious when i ask, Do you know you could get the first shot off without hestation? 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... The stats indicate that armed people are far more likely to get hurt or killed by ther own weapons. Well, that's a fact! Until dumbasses or criminals learn how or why to use their weapons, there will be no doubt... 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. ????? snip, never mind, don't bother to anser I am not being argumentative... Of course you are, you need to be spanked! :-D i would really like to know. becaue i don't think i could do it in spite of my ego saying "i could". rick Bwaawhawhahawhahwhahwhawha! Okay then, LP |

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... 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. |

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.

As Jaxxy well knows, I don't think much of him; however, you
are a complete idiot by comparison. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Horvath" wrote in message ...

You wuss! You probably kept your training wheels on your bicycle until you were 16. You probably never drive above the speed limit. Screw the rules! They're more like guidelines, anyways. |
