A flare gun works just about as good at close range, and is more than legal
on a boat!

Is the storing of a pistol on a boat legal or not. Does it depend on the
state
law?

When boarded by the Coast Guard, I was immediately asked if I had any
weapons on
board. This was their first question. After I responded that I had some
healthy
knives, used for cleaning fish, cutting up bait, etc., they narrowed the
question to firearms. I had none, and didn't think to ask them what the
ramifications were if I had one on board.
