Hi, or ahoy, avast, whatever,
I spend a lot of time on the Merrimack between Lowell/Nashua. I don't know if this is federal waters or not, considering the dams between me and the ocean, or if it even matters for this question.
The river gets cleaner and more crowded every year, and over the years I've twice been threatened by seemingly inebriated gentlemen (read drunk a**h***s). Since I'm on a pontoon boat, somebody could probably, depending on how many empties they've tossed in the river, jump onto my boat, or any little beach I've laid claim to.
Are firearms laws the same, or different on the water (navigable waterway,
maybe)? I once heard of a guy facing piracy charges after a fight between two boats on the river in Tyngsboro, but don't know how true it was.
Sorry about the rambling.
