Because you never know when your going to run into some idiots. I had some guys approach me at the navy point boat ramp around midnight and they werent interested in how many fish I had. I never pulled, showed or even spoke of a gun but i was glad that it was within reach if it were needed. I feel 100% possitive that they were sizing me up but somthing told them to move on. I would have hated to shoot one of them. But I would have.lbhuntley (11/11/2007)I hope you're not serious, but if you are why would you want a firearm on your boat?
I don't leave home without one, thus including aboard a boat. Although if launching from a military base I leave it at the boat owners house, or in my truck if it is not going on base. Boat owner is aware of gun. Why you might ask.......for the very reason they are made.lbhuntley (11/11/2007)I hope you're not serious, but if you are why would you want a firearm on your boat?
Close....but the use of a paddle is ok.whipper snapper (11/11/2007)you can have a firearm on the boat, i even believe in fl. you can wear a holstered gun on your side while on a boat with no ccp. or permit. if you are taking game on land the boat can't be under power of any sort. i am pretty sure.
