I heard that on Falcon lake that guys are mounting 30 or 50cals on the back deck, so one can fish and the other shoot. It is sad that we now live in a socitey that is reverting back to old west days, Glad they did not do anything to you Geo, Get a" 44 mag the most powerful handgun in the world, powerful enough to blow your head clean off, so do you feel lucky punk". But serisouly I have seen some that carry shotguns and have them mounted in a rod locker that you can get to quick, they make a stanlis steel marine model, filled with buckshot and a couple slugs it is a great deterent and has effective stopping power, as if the perp is wearing a vest te buckshot will tear thru it and if that dont work then the slug will stop him. Lot easier to hit a moving target with a shotgun.
