Yes to all the arguments and opinions.. may I chime in and ask for
advice and opinion on the topic from another Perspective?
Going about my way from peaceful Johnny Cash noted wisdom, ' don't take take your
guns to town Bill leave your
guns at home Bill, don't take your guns to town' ie you might and may avoid life threatening situations etc simply by not being armed logic...
However I am wondering how well and easy it would be to avoid law trouble and not get a gun permanently confiscated, if not traveling with lavish possessions or attitude on a well founded sea worthy
boat but wanting to keep and carry .357 user changeable barrels from a 2", 4", 6" , 8" barrels simply from a very
emergency point of view in that arguably and politely could always be handed over to authorities when it had to but is clearly considered a reasonable tool to have on the
boat and so may not become a target for permanent confiscation?
My desires for having it is should I ever really find myself quite stranded and needing to eat, I can hunt pig quite well with an 8" barrel on .357 and or if in
remote landfall in areas where large cats or wild boar or poisonous snake etc warrant carrying this with the 4" or 6" barrel and appropriate loads and yes of course the odd situation where you could happen upon the wrong person I suppose depending what reason and and area you might be exploring land..
And in addition simply yes having a snub nosed close quarters personal protection aboard while
mooring or
docking etc be it in the US or somewhere they haven't taken it off me in the same way we'd ll keep a gun by the
bed in an
emergency situation of an armed petty but potentially violent B&E Robbery?
I realise I'm kind of bringing a back country mountain guide attitude to Island and continent exploring, but For these reasons I can't justify not bringing it, nor even keeping it well and deeply hidden and making a judgement call as to when and how to declare it based on the situation and willingness later to go thru the risk and negotiations of asking forgiveness over permission should I ever make the wrong call and how deep they'd dig and at the end of the day be willing to suffer the consequences?
Lots of separate details here but Feedback?
If I had the option, I suppose one long range carbine w optics for the very same reasons I would love to carry but would probably not even bother.
P.S. let's not forget a very worst case scenario either that one may be badly injured or facing something even worse and would be handy if ending ones own suffering early ever became a choice you wish you had a pistol for?
