I was planning to take the family boating up the Willamette this week until my wife re-ran the news story that owing to "Fleet Week", all private boats in the area "will be searched". I have a couple questions for y'all.
I'm always discreetly armed, I have a WA CPL and a non-resident OR CHL, is there some sort of maritime law that overrides lawful carry just because I'm on my boat in a river?
My second question is not gun related but is one I'll ask here anyway. What is it that permits the government to search me, my family, my boat on a river just because they are having a boat show?
I'm a law-abiding, free American citizen, something about being threatened that I'll be searched just because I happen to be enjoying a day on the river with my family just doesn't set well. Really, it pisses me off, I'll leave it at that.
