Trust me I know. I was a Fed. We didn't go out to eb force state laws. Sometimes some one would question our authority and fail the test.

You are correct it doesn't have to be a "flag". Tie on a red tshirt.

Red flag on the end of the kayak should cover you. I see guys who routinely have stuff hanging out more than 5 1/2 ft (contractors, plumbers, etc) hang that red flag out. They would know.

IIRC, Title 39 (MV Statutes) say if the overhang is more than 3 feet you need a flag.

Can't see why not. Hang a flag on the end of the kayak.

Not nervous, at a heightened sense of awareness.

What are you willing to pay for an as new Shockwave 12 ga? You can PM me.

It's not MRE if you had to add water. 30 days? With 4 people that's a week. 2 people 2 weeks. If you can afford it and that will meet your needs go for it. 25 year guarantee? Will the supplier or the company that produced it be around in 25 years? When you crack it open in 8,9, or 10 years during a food shortage and find its gone bad do you think they'll send you a replacement when you're starving? I still think canned is a better option and more economical for most people. Most canned food I've seen recently has a 3 year shelf life.

No, the USCG will operate where ever they are needed. During Vietnam they operated off the coast. You want the premier service for Search and Rescue, you call the Coast Guard. The USCG has operated worldwide wherever there is a mission for them for years. A friend of mine in the Coast Guatd spent some time off the west Coast of South America on a drug interdiction mission recently. Later he was assigned to a new cutter in Hawaii which patrolled most of the Pacific. 100% correct. They can also board foreign flag vessels in international waters with permission from that government. Some countries have given blanket permission to board any vessel flying their flag on mere suspicion of drug smuggling activity. USCG can also board stateless vessels (not flying a flag or displaying a home port) anywhere.

I don't know where this came from. You can legally open carry in FL if you are engaged in fishing, hunting, or camping. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.floridatoday.com/amp/1639218001 If you're going into international waters firearms possession is dependent on the laws of the country the vessel is flagged in. You'll need to come to port sometime and then the laws of other countries and different states come into play. For example if you go from FL to the Bahamas you can have pistols and shotguns on your boat but you have to keep them locked up in port and you can't take them ashore. https://bs.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/boating-in-the-bahamas/

A LE agency doesnt need a ssn to look for a dl.

Long gun yes in NJ with a FPID. If you intend on going in other state's waters check their laws. Your non-NFA AR I'm not sure about. It is a "firearm". Check the statute. If the statute says "rifle or shotgun" I wouldn't in NJ. Also check other state statutes wherever you're going.

Gyms and senior centers.

@SW9racer he made you take it out of the water because it was an unregistered power boat with the little trolling motor. If you rowing, paddling or sailing it you'd have been okay.

@Zeke see me for your needs. Family price for you.
