Default Guns on boats-Mexico too

jaxashby's war story:

-they weren't actually pirates and they didn't actually make it, but they
were in fact carrying AK-47's backed up by mortar, rockets, and at one point
with heavy artillery, and there were thousands of them. The closest a bullet
ever came to my head was about six inches (bullets at 6 inches make a different
sound from bullets at 12 inches which is different from two feet from 5 feet
from 10 feet, etc). Did get some shrapnel (a piece of which I still carry) but
that was from a mortar, which I except no pirate would be carrying, so it
doesn't count.-

Bilge-I'll wager that you were holding something a little more lethal than a
charged 2.5 inch firehose, though.

Unfortunately for us professional mariners, the various "gun control" laws do
NOTHING more than leave us with a hose, you slobbering half-wit.
