[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3963806, member: 5412"] Do keep in mind, it's currently illegal to carry a weapon on a boat if not hunting on Corps of Engineers lakes. It could turn into a federal crime if they wanted to push it. Title 36 to the Code of Federal Regulations (Section 327.13, Explosives, firearms, other weapons and fireworks) states “The possession of loaded firearms, ammunition, loaded projectile firing devices, bows and arrows, crossbows, or other weapons is prohibited.” There are exceptions to this regulation which include possession of a firearm by law enforcement officers, and by hunters and fishermen participating in programs managed through local lake offices. (IE) Oklahoma COE lakes that have ODW managed WMA's on them during hunting seasons.
