Firearms onboard boats

[home made tunnel]

I know a lot of off-shore fishermen carry them... but how about you guys? Do you keep one on your vessel just-in-case?
Definitely not the little boats like most of ours, but what about your cabin cruisers / mooring queens / etc?

All too often I see viral videos of idiots way out at sea ramming other boats, causing a scene, and iphones video recording it all. That would make me want to add a few drain holes to their boat

I always bring my carry into the boat. Glove box across from me or cup holder next to me, depends on my piece of the day.
Have run into more crazies on and near the water then off of it.

More on the water - I agree. But I don't have a carry permit. I may just leave a pump action hidden onboard the new vessel. Not sure yet.

no ''nuts and bolts'' info on it. hull/deck material?

My carry goes everywhere I go. If it can’t go there I don’t go there.

I can't bring mine into work - armed guards, barbed wire, and such. Otherwise, I would totally have a carry permit.

Not here, as not needed..BUT carry a roll duct tape if approached by a wacko liberal in a Kayak, and if still won't shut up taped up but still..?..."Roost" the SOB big time, and on until sank...

Don't know about now, but not long ago it was totally illegal and totally necessary for cruising the Bahamas--just too much chance of modern day pirates.

Better than a pistol for sure. Mine's an 8-shot loaded with 00buck

times changed.........

That big boat you got now. Mount the skeet thrower on the bow and drive offshore on a calm day.

I don't have a carry permit but the flare gun pointed at someone sure makes them think twice

I don't know how it is now but it was a no no and had a buddy get in trouble over there and it was a mess cost him so big bucks to get cleared.

In US state and fed waters you can OPEN carry a weapon while going to fish, while fishing, coming back from fishing, .....FE; shotgun in a rod holder. So, always carry a fishing rod too. International waters anything goes. In the Bahamas territorial waters (and a lot of other places) they have stricter gun laws that change as the wind blows. This is my current understanding, but things change.
