Cruisers carrying weapons
Somebody asked if I carry any weapons when I cruise, The answer is
that I do not carry any firearms because I am incompetent with them. I do carry a machete, but that is a "tool", not a weapon, but, it could be a weapon. You can buy tear gas and pepper spray rounds for the 12 guage flare launchers but I do not have them. I might get some pepper spray canisters but have not done so. I simply do not own anything worth stealing and my boat looks old enough to not be worth any effort although she works well. My strategy is to simply look as if my boat is not worth the trouble to even board. |

Straight steady stream of spray to help aim. Supposed to burn much like pepper spray. I wouldn't want it pointed at my eyes even if it was harmless. The range of the spray is pretty good too. I know it kills wasps, the kind that fly. Not sure about white anglo, you know. The YMMV applies. |

If you fire a live shotgun round in a flare pistol you will likely be picking it out of your teeth and other inconvenient places. Tests have shown that they are not even up to firing a .410 shell with a steel reducing sleeve in the barrel. |

I'd pay a reasonable amount of money to see you firing a heavy 12-gauge round out of a flare gun. You could use the proceeds to rebuild your hand and face. Dumfoch. Whose army were you in, anyway? Didn't you get any weapons training? |

Taurus makes a small pistol called the Judge that shoots .45 Colt ammo or .410 shotgun shells. Now, that pistol might be "amenable" to firing ..410 flares, though I haven't seen any of those in years. I wouldn't fire flares out of that pistol without first checking with the pistol's manufacturer, though. |

The burn on a shotgun shell is most likely designed for at least 16" barrel. |

The burn on a shotgun shell is most likely designed for at least 16" barrel. I have fired a 12 gauge shell out of a 6" pipe and it sounded pretty convincing. I didn't chrono it but it would certainly back the bad guy up. BTW if you did have a short barreled shotgun (less than 18") you would need a $200 tax stamp for it. Technically that pipe I put down on my old Monkey Ward single barrel shotgun receiver was a violation of NFA34 but I was probably young enough to be tried as a juvenile. I did assemble pipe that into a last ditch, end of the alley weapon and it ended up with a DC cop who thought it was an interesting idea. Ithaca sold some double barrel shotgun pistols. During Prohibition to the syndicate. But I think they were 10" barrels. 20 guage mostly. |

There are several companies selling .410 capable pistols This is one of the newest ones but they have been around for decades http://www.gunblast.com/Taurus-Judge.htm They get away with it because the barrel is rifled. One of the old ..410 pistols actually had a "choke" that spun the shot the other way and tried to restore the pattern. I saw a guy shooting skeet with one once at Andrews AFB but he wasn't hitting many. It was a great "station 8" gun tho. Many .45 Colts will shoot a .410. Well, I have never been too interested in handguns, but I like that one.. Scotty |
