gun in glove box of boat

[steemer1]

You cannot have a gun on a boat at Lake Cumberland. I called the area Game Warden and he said the Federal law takes over. Even if you have a concealed carry permit it is against the law to have a gun on lake Cumberland. Unless it is hunting season and the gun has to match the hunting season. If you get caught it is federal not state which is more strict.

Turns out I am wrong. It is indeed a federal crime to have a weapon on Corps Property (including the water.)

Still doesnt answer the open carry question though. Because KY Lake is TVA if i am not mistaken so doesnt fall under the Corps law, and the ohio is a whole nother story as well.

I got an idea! (Uh-ooooooh).

I'm going to carry a CROSSBOW! It's not a firearm.

And to warn people off with bad intent, I think I'll name my boat "BOBBIN-ROBIN".

Are hand grenades considered a firearm? How far can you send one of those puppies with a slingshot?

I looked up motor vehicle today at work and I don't think a boat is covered. There maybe more info out there that would allow it but I could not find it. But, from what I could tell a boat is not a motor vehicle. The KRS that defines a motor vehicle is 186.260 (I think). As soon as I got into it the phone started to ring.

Hey Guys I was at the Louisville Boat Show at the Ky DNR booth getting my Ky. License and I overheard a CO talking to a man that ask that very question and the answer was your boat is just like your vehicle and if you have a carry permit you are allowed to carry it in either. This CO patrols Rough,Nolin and Barren. You could always call your local State Police Post and find out. I would like to know because I live in Indiana and I've always got mine with me.

I'm glad that is clarified. Now the crooks that shoot me with their guns will get charged with 3 offenses, the theft, the shooting, and the carry. AAAAAH-HAH! I showed them!
