Re: Protection

Do a search. There have been dozens of discussions that go on endlessly, and none of them ever go anywhere.

Well... Maybe what I should say is that they all end up in the same place: Anti-gun types and pro-gun types sniping at each other in various childish and petty ways.

Re: Protection

If you've only seen one comment about guns on board, then you need to spend some time learning the fine art of "search".

Re: Protection

From the title of the thread "Protection" I thought this was going to be about condoms which might be more important in some ports than guns

Re: Protection

So here we go again, soon you will have about a zillion posts about the topic.

For your personal decision it's quite easy IMHO.
If you own a gun for your personal protection at home, you will need one on your boat, or else you will probably miss something.
If you don't own a gun for that matter today, it will not increase your personal safety but instead add endless hassle to clearing in and out of countries.

Just my opinion, don't shoot me!

If one feels insecure enough in ones self to need a firearm.. go for it..
Just stop trying to shove em down the throats of us folks more secure and confident in ourselves...
You think the US of A is dangerous... try the NWFP where AK47's are de-riguer fashion... and tribesmen sit on hills waiting for passing targets...

Re: Protection

I sold my guns and had a surgical penile length and girth enhancement.
Now anyone is able to see my "carry and conceal" and get excited.

Best decision I have ever made.

OK, I was willing to give the last guy the benefit of the doubt... but this is just too obviously a troll. Kind of wonder if it isn't the same guy.
