This would avoid buying a "real" gun for defending ones sailboat from
pirates. Thoughts?


If the pirates are eight-year-old girls or dumb little big-mouth schitts
like loogy, herring, or florida jim, maybe.

Real pirates? They inhale pepper spray to clear their sinuses.

If you are afraid of pirates, get yourself a stainless steel shotgun in
12 gauge and practice with it out on a range. Put a light coat of
protective coating on the shotgun, clean it up once a month at least,
and stow it on boat in a dry bag.

Modern pirates use RPG launchers. You have to match fire power.

Sinking their boat will tend to deter future raids.
