    Thankfully there isn't really a physical space in use.

    Imagine that, just the amount of room needed for @HCP or me.

    You do need special weapons on a boat in dangerous waters. And there's little doubt that a weapon with a large magazine capacity could come in handy in certain situations in the wild. I'm also certain it wouldn't be complicated to make provisions for special licenses for such situations.

    Well, thankfully, we do not need special license. Everyone knows that boats are probably well armed. I think this is the major reason piracy is nonexistent in American waters. Sure not the case elsewhere.

    The Coast Guard is the reason for the lack of a big piracy problem in American waters. Also, there are current restrictions on the carrying of certain weapons at this time. Why do you think Somalia pirates thrive?

    Poppycock!

    Pirates all over the world, Somalia, Mexico, Caribbean, South China Sea, Indian Ocean, African coast, all prey on unarmed boats and ships.
    So many of the worlds countries ban weapons on board vessels, you can not get to Somalia armed unless you do it the hard way.
    Straight from a US port to the Arabian Sea and the only way to do that around Cape of Good Hope. Can not go from the Pacific to the Arabian Sea
    Without going through waters where guns are not allowed. The most pirate infested waters on Earth. Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay waters are free of pirates. Boats can be and probably are armed there. Mexico used to be good, when they let us keep arms onboard. Can't do it now though and it sucks.

    Coming down the West Coast, I encountered one CG cutter, on station off Cape Mendocino. Ha! The guys were bored too! They Boarded the MarAzul. Checked to see if she was sinking, had a Garbage procedure sign in place, Discharge of Oil Prohibited Sticker in place, proper number of fire extinguishers, you know, important stuff. I have passed that inspection four times now. I really think they just wanted to board the MarAzul.

    Bottom line is, the CG is not going to be there if a pirate shows up, any more that the Sheriff will be at your ranch when a bad dude come to take what he can. But they don't do that shit when the risk is too high, because they know you are probably legally armed. Most people will not likely be illegally armed.

    I'm sure you're lying because I know everything. Wait, who hacked my account?

    Thankfully the average person doesn't know ANYTHING about bodywork so I don't have to put up with things like that. Also there are rarely any forum discussions that would touch on it.

    I occasionally have to deal with someone who is adamant that they don't want body filler used on their car. When I explain how much cutting and welding are required to replace some panels and then filler is still used they understand.

    I suppose I could replace a quarter panel without filler but it would take forever and nobody is going to pay me what it would cost.

    A skim coat is one thing but I have seen body work from some that think a 1/4" dent or larger is okay to fill with body filler and then sanded. There are lazy and cheap people who take shortcuts in every industry.

    80 percent of them in mine, however you have to remember who pays the bill.This truck backed into a pole and smashed badly. There isn't an 1/8 the inch of filler anywhere. 3 hours or so of hammer and dolly off the vehicle. Love bolt on bed sides. Wasn't quite finished with filler, picture was for the file at work. Just to show the amount of work for the insurance company. image000000_15.jpg image000000_16.jpg

    I was thinking. If knives and vans etc are also deadly why do you need a gun? Why don’t you just use your knives or your car to combat these deadly, scary things?

    The only thing that stops a bad guy with a van is a good guy wearing Vans.

    I believe both conservatives and liberals on this board want to stop mass shootings.
    But whats sad is both sides would rather argue about which spoon is more shiny.
    Than actually have a conversation which would promote change.

    I came to this conclusion because I asked multiple questions to pro-gun rights people on this board.
    None of them were answered, instead the very first post called me a cuck.
    For simple asking a question on a subject according to pro-gun rights people. I have no knowledge about.

    I'm not a liberal, I'm not a conservative.
    I simply was asking a question of people who deem themselves more education on the subject than I.
    Was never answered.

    Good points. I find it very ironic when gun advocates continue to use the falsehood that people (Democrats) want to take their guns away. I have never heard anyone of any kind of authority say that all guns should be banned and yet that's one of the first thing they fire back with when gun control laws are discussed.

    Next time, do your own research. If I say it, it's the truth as I know it. Just because you don't know doesn't mean I need to "provide proof". You have access to the same internet as me

    Now, was he a REAL Christian? Hell the fuck no. But he sure portrayed himself as one to kill senior citizens.

    And personally, if you're racist, you're mentally ill.
