You've either have to be kidding or have watched way too much Mr.
Roger's neighborhood.

Along with the knife in the teeth maybe they will have a hook for a left
hand.

Does the term "AK47" ring any bells?

Mike,

Take a look at the message I responded to. I just tried to picture a
hypothetical situation for sake of argument. I see no need to
ridiculize it, perhaps you could try to add something of value to the
discussion...

But I must say this thread is getting more and more informative... LOL

To me it looks like _some_ of the posters in favor of having a weapon
on board are incapable of proper reading, lack _any_ sensible empathy
or even the slightest bit of attention for the content of the
arguments they read, are agressively tense and trigger happy...
Hmm, what is that smell... fear ? xenophoby ? Anyway, it explains to
me to some extent the at times very uptight discussions typical for
this subject.

Hmm...Japan pays $7/gallon for gas....Californicate only pays $3. Amazing
they stopped selling to some place they can get double, isn't it?

It might get REFINED in Californicate, on its way to Japan....

Len,
Never show a weapon. Never brandish or wave a weapon. It sounds
like you really need some defensive training.

So when say two robbers, with a grown knife between their teeth, row
to your boat, you'd just shoot them by surprise instead of giving them
other thoughts by letting them take a look at your 12 ga.?

Being less of a wise guy I won't go in in what kind of training you
might need, but it's all in what you call "defensive" or "offensive".

Len,
Leave all firearms behind or get some education about their uses.

I've seen a lot of ways a discussion can be slammed down with
patronizing remarks but you get the prize...

Please, please enlighten me, Capt'n, sir. What in your opinion should
I do when I see an attacker or two coming towards my dear wife and me,
definitely planning to rob us from all our money and electronics on
board. Just muggers, with a knife.
Does your "education about the use of weapons" content that I shoot
and kill them by surprise at say 30 yards ???

I expect (but also doubt) that your courage and no doubt vigorous
mentality permits you to give me some sensible answer...

Some americans really are funny.... LOL

http://www.mossberg.com/pcatalog/Specpurp.htm Pistol grips available, the
mariner model can be had with a 9 shot capacity. Add some nasty ammo from
http://www.firequest.com/
and you're all set.

Mossburg used to make a 12 ga. with a switchab le barrel and stock. I
think the short barrel was just legal (18.25 in.??). The standard
stock could be replaced with a pistol stock by simply unscrewing one
and screwing the other on. It was a an exccellent defensive weapon
and moderately priced. I think it was a pump action.

Speaking of, someone posted an idea that may have some merit. He loaded up a
dry chemical fire extinguisher with cayenne pepper instead of dry chemical.
Charged up and claimed that it was a very potent weapon at close range.
Impossible for the authorities to tell it was anything but a fire
extinguisher unless they actually discharged it. I don't know how practical
this is, but sounded interesting anyway.

I met a German in a beautiful yawl on the docks. His favorite is Russian
hand grenades available cheap. Nice looking bombs. He tossed one into a
speedboat just popping out of the dark cabin as they came alongside off
Indonesia.....Boom! Problem solved.....


A grenade is a bomb. A bomb is a weapon of mass destruction. Possessing
bombs is a crime in most parts.

Possessing beer cans and gasoline and a yard sprayer and zippo lighter is
not.

Defense is 99% brains and ingenuity, and 1% mechanical assistance, except
with ballistic missiles. There is no reliable defense against ballistic
missiles, the only chance for "victory" is a deeper capacity to absorb
attrition, at least until the air is poisonous, unless you consider
prevention of the attack in the first place.

The best defense is to give no offense. What difference could I possibly
have with a Chinese peasant? Why must our sons fight to the death? Let our
leaders enter the ring first, naked and unarmed, if they feel enough need
to fight.

Get your head straight, man.
