Do you think they don't? Perhaps you're just inexperienced
in such matters. In many foreign ports, you will be boarded
by the local authorities. They'll ask for a declaration of what
you've got. If you claim you don't have a gun, they decide
to search and find one, you could end up in a local prison.
If you declare it, it will be confiscated and maybe returned
when you leave (or maybe not, depending on the foreign
port). In either case, you'll not have any use of it.

But, feel free to take one along. Far be it from me to prevent
you from going to jail again.

Do you think they search your boat when you enter a foreign country?




Screw the rules! They're more like guidelines, anyways.
