Carrying on a boat

[jay1313g]

My family loves to go camping. In the past, we have had friends with boats and that boosted the fun level by 10X. We are considering buying a boat now. I have held this decision off for years but now may be the time.

What are the restrictions for carrying on the boat? Understandably, most places we go are state parks and that would be out of the question unless the law changes but are there any other options and what restrictions apply there? We live just outside of Memphis so we could end up boating in Arkansas or Mississippi just as easy.

I am assuming that the answer is NO but wanted to ask.

MudBugjr,

Will it match a bi-tone XD45 Compact 4"?

We've looked at the Tahoe Q4 and Q5i at the local Bass Pro Shops. I would prefer to purchase a used boat but I'm just not knowledgeable enough to feel safe about it. I am highly mechanically inclined and very familiar with cars but not boats.

I could mount you a holster under the steering wheel! its for sale in the non-firearm section. Got to love a propless boat. I have a guy that could wrap it to look like the pistol.

Yes you can carry on the lake. And it doesnt matter which state you are in as long as we recipicate with them.

TN state laws allows carry while fishing and certain other outdoor activities. Why be in a boat without a fishing pole and some minimal gear?

i have been told if it is legal on the highway it is legal on the water. this by a "water cop". one can take it for what it is worth????????????
