>>2144384I read that in every country, you can legally have a gun on board as long as it's declared and so long as it's legal to possess in your home country/state. So most of the world is fucked, but US residents should generally be ok. Can't find the article, but it specifically mentioned Japan and some other super strict anti-gun country as being okay so long as it's declared. Depending on the country they take one of 3 actions: confiscate the guns and ammo for safekeeping - to be returned upon departure, place gun in a sealed bag to prove it hasn't been used until you leave port but it can stay aboard, verbally instruct you to keep it on board in a locked safe.
In any case this seems like the kind of thing you'd want to clear with a maritime attorney. Most sites I've checked are written by some cucked ass brits and canucks who say shit like, 'obviously you'd never want a gun aboard and obviously you're too incompetent to handle it safely on a boat, you'll just end up shooting yourself in the foot and then the innocent multicultural pirates will peacefully rape your ass mouth and cunt.' I'll never understand that attitude.
