A woman in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania was hospitalized after being shot
in the leg at a gun show, WNEP reported.

Columbia County police said that Krysta Gearhart was shot by Geoffrey
Hawk as he attempted to demonstrate how a concealed carry holster
worked.

WNEP reported that there were not supposed to be any loaded weapons at
the Eagle Arms Gun Show on Saturday, and that Hawk, the owner of “In
Case of Emergency,” should have been using a plastic gun to
demonstrate how the holster worked.

Police said that there was no magazine in the weapon Hawk used to
shoot Gearhart, but there was a round in the chamber.

Eric Bower told WNEP that he heard the gunshot, followed by Gearhart’s
scream.

“Everybody paused for a second and their initial reaction was making
sure there wasn’t more, and then they rushed to her aid,” he said.

Many of the vendors were upset, Bowers added, because Hawk’s lack of
attention to basic gun safety “makes them look bad.”

Ok, here's the thing.. I designed that Whaler to look cool but really
didn't think of how the water moves around and how nasty those sharp
chines would be in a chop so I looked at a real whaler and decided the
day or so it would take to redesign it would be well worth it in the
long run.

Here is the new 7 Plank version of my Whaler, with soft chines and a bit
more faired out than the original. It's on the same page as the old
"Whaler" clone, Scroll down to the "7 Plank version..." to see the extra
strake I put in to even more mimic the Whalers I have seen...

In the transom I have the "lifting strakes" flat, can't remember if
there is still a bit of drop to the outside on a real Whaler, but the
computer models I am running show this might be a good hull.. I mean, I
can't imagine it being bad, I just wonder if I am going to get the
handing I desire when I add the skegs.. Time will tell.. Tell me what
you think, pick the hull apart if you want, I am always eager to make a
better one...

Say what?
You claim to be a boat designer/builder yet you don't consider how water moves around the hull
Heaven help you....and anyone foolish enough to sail with you.

Remember that really, truly, incredibly ugly "canoe" he built...the one
with the sides so high it could be a sailboat with no need of sails?

That short stubby canoe reminded me of the ones you'd see in the Saturday cartoons many years ago.
I kinda got a kick out of it.

Short stubby guy, short stubby canoe.
Around here, you can buy a one or two season old Old Town canoe for
about $150-250. Might have some surface scratches, but no punctures,
leaks, broken parts. The river expedition folks surplus them out at the
end of the season.

S'matter guys? Would it be different if I had a rusted old tin box sitting in my driveway, 364 days a year, or a lobsta' boat in my head, 365? What do you think of the Whaler design.. No, I am not looking for engineering advice from either of you two lubbers, but isn't it pretty?

I know Capt. Tom would hate it.. He hates anything but traditional sheer and waterlines on anything... I remember when I painted the smile on the traditional Gardner Skiff, he almost convulsed
