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

Speaking of flare guns, I heard that if you're boarded by Canadian
Customs, or maybe it's the CG in Canadian waters, your flare gun is
considered a firearm and you have to declare it as such when they ask.
I was advised that it's best to just leave it at the dock if you plan
on going into Canadian waters.

That said, I don't think having a loaded gun in the cabin where you
sleep in any more morally (legally you need a CCW on the boat of
course) wrong than in the nightstand next to your bed. Same
precautions apply, obviously.

So what happens when a neighbor kid comes over to visit, and finds your
loaded gun in the house?

Not everyone has neighboring children, and some actually limit their
in-home company to those who share their values, attitudes & beliefs.

The gun I take with me to Lake Cumberland, stays in one of those Simplex
lock boxes...quick access, but secure from anybody else.

Perhaps if you were more diplomatic & popular there, you wouldn't need
it. :-)

Think you could do me a favor, and email me your address? I want to make
sure my family and myself stays away from your home.

This would not have been any problem - my children & I were not
inclined to suffer intrusive fools within or around our happy & safe
sanctuary; local laws still call any who cannot stay away
"trespassers" & authorities deal with them accordingly.

I understand that Mexico also views flare guns as firearms and you DON'T EVEN
want to be busted for a firearm in Mexico. They have an idea that the PEOPLE
being armed is bad....(for who...?)
And they will will lock you up for just having a .22 cal. cartridge with no
firearm on board.
Take care

Exactly. Even with just the few writings you have done here, clearly it
shows I dont want to have anything to do with someone like you.

So do you have an armed guard at the entrance to your compound on Ruby
Ridge?

This is laughable. The "pirates" dont know their prey, so it has nothing to
do with being popular.

And being dimplomatic? What, should I negociate with them, as they board my
boat with guns drawn?

Thanks Randy Weaver.

Also Sprach JohnH :

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

I am very much looking forward to having the need to use the 20
ga. shotgun I occasionally find necessary to take boating with me. I came
close once, but using a flying gaff was sufficient. The shotgun is
reserved for halibut over 100 lbs only. I haven't quite reached the
century mark yet... 72 lbs is my record to date. Here's a nice 30
lb'er.. note that it is in a 150 qt cooler, the tail is about
18" wide. Imagine 100 lbs of that flopping on the deck.

But seriously, I occasionally fish inside Canadian waters. On those
occasions, I have left the gun at home, not wanting to deal with the
hassle in case I was boarded by Canadian authorities.
