USCG Disarming boaters????
Fraternity brother was telling me of an incident on Boston Harbor recently, on a night when the Celtics were playing a home playoff game. Up harbor, I believe near the Garden, they were approached and boarded by USCG for red nav light not working/violation. You know the first question always is; Do you have any weapons onboard? He advised them he was LEGALLY carrying a Sig 365 in his waistband. Minutes later, after they have been going through every compartment and saw liquor bottles stored below, the 20 yo coastie informs the operator that he is going to disarm him, right then and there.....
What is your take on this?
In the example above, it worked out without an incident, however he was able to record five minutes of dialog and it was forwarded to USCG Commander. (they did take the gun and ended up leaving it on an aft seat when they got off his boat. He is still pissed. But it is worth a discussion here.....
