[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3936893, member: 35036"] If he’s traveling internationally, I would suggest a safe to store them in. Some ports will just require your firearms be locked up/sealed (they’ll put a tamper thing or something on it) that they will check to ensure it wasn’t opened when you go through the port of exit. One thing to consider when looking at a firearm is the caliber. In a lot of countries military calibers are illegal. Mexico for example. So an AR10/15 isn’t a good idea (or 9mm for that measure). But… a 30/30 lever gun would be acceptable in some places, and a solid, fast pointing/firing mid range rifle to keep around. Also allows you to skirt semi auto weapon restrictions. When road tripping around the US/going through less free states, my long gun of choice is a lever gun. If I were to be a full time international yacht guy, I would keep a Glock, a short 12ga Marine Shotty (probably pump to avoid semi auto disliking countries), and a stainless scoped 30/30 in my safe. Glock for backup/self defense, shotgun for unwelcome guests, and the 30/30 in case I felt like being an idiot and taking potshots on some pirates running me down. I would also cerakote everything just for an added layer of defense. But I would typically stay far away from any remotely piratey areas. [/QUOTE]
