I
recall some time ago (2 yrs maybe) there was a thread on some sailing forum (on this one, or SSCA, or Sailnet... my first guess is it was on Sailnet) but I don't
recall which one. It was a lengthy discussion on other weapon options other than
guns, which included as I recall how to use flare
guns, camelflouging shot gun shells for this purpose, etc
In light of the latest tragedy in
Thailand, and one who currently lives in NZ so am well aware of Peter Blake being dead likely because he carried a gun (pls no debate on that), this latest tragedy reminded me of that old thread.
I'm interested in
learning more about the Flare Gun option, or for that matter other options cruisers have used (other than guns and a machete). If anyone knows of the thread I am referring to, I would appreciate having a copy of it or be able to access it. I'm also intersted in
learning about other alternatives cruisers have had on board (again other than guns).
Again, and at the risk of repeating myself, I'm NOT AT ALL interested in starting another "guns-no guns" debate.
Thanks in advance.
