#BoatingAccident

We’ve all heard the tired “boating accident” trope, and it was funny while it lasted, but in all seriousness, boating season is upon us, and a lot can go wrong on the water, so let’s take a look at boat guns. The term boat guns is an aquatic adaptation of the term “ truck gun” or “trunk gun,” and generally refers to keeping a rifle or shotgun handy for self-defense, or sometimes for impromptu hunting ( or fishing?). The concept of keeping a rifle or shotgun in a vehicle is usually quite controversial since vehicles can be easily broken into. Another source of contention is that some people question the ability to simply drive away in the time it takes to retrieve a long gun from a storage compartment. Despite all that, there have been instances of people needing to defend themselves from a boat, so we’ll take a look at the top 5 guns you should consider for a boat gun.

Noveske Rifleworks continue to evolve their rifles, and the Fourth Generation is available now just before SHOT Show 2019.

Remember that StG-44 found in an attic in Poland we posted about last week? Well here’s another post about a gun that was stumbled upon, this time by some guys on YouTube who search for treasure in rivers. Finding firearms in rivers is surprisingly common. Earlier this year I posted about a possible murder weapon that was found by a diver in Georgia.

Remember that stash of weapons found in the UK a while back? Here’s another pretty cool find, YouTubber Nuggetnoggin posted this interesting video a while back of this cache of old rusted machine gun parts he found in a river with a metal detector. I didn’t know boating accidents were a real thing. From the videos description:

Anyone lose their AR-15 during an unfortunate “boating accident” recently? No really, did anyone lose an AR? Someone on Reddit posted about an AR-15 that was found while fishing at Red Hill Dam in Pennsylvania. It’s a pretty nice AR too, from another Redditor’s post in the thread:
