Response to I grew up using .... |
| Unless traveling to Canada, I always have a Remington 870 Mariner 12 gauge pump gun on board. Ammo is double OO buck. Don't necessarily keep it loaded, but it has been on occasion. This gun is nickel plated making it corrosion resistant, has an 18 inch barrel and short stock. Comes up real fast and points excellently.
Having experience with a wide array of weapons and weapons training, I am not advocating the use of or the brandishing of fire arms to make a point with some idiot. Nor would I use it to boost my confidence in telling some yahoo to slow the .... down. That being said, there are a lot of folks here on LSC that fancy themselves as wiseguy off spring of a Soprano gangster. Fast boats and bad jewelry are the tip off. Thus, we are ready for most potential incidents. First rule of thumb is to have your say then drive away. However, in the event someone tries to board our boat, the old saying of "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by six" is my mantra.
