CC on boat? Bay vs State vs federal water etc..

[joe]

I was curious if you guys have any information on CC in a boat. Specifically Alabama.

This question gets worry some when you go threw state waters to federal. Also I have been on trips where we pass threw different state waters etc...

If anyone has information or can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

I know there are no federal restrictions.
I need to read up on AL myself.

Pretty sure hunting or fishing you can carry, open if you wish. I had friends that lived and traveled on their Trawler, The both carried, had a riot gun on board and a cannon on the deck!

Thanks guys I am just trying to be cautious. Most times I just leave it at home but seeing how every Tom, Dick & Bubba will be on the water tomorrow I am contemplating bringing one. It is the Alabama Rodeo this weekend. I usually avoid fishing in the bay during it but a friend from out of town wants to go.

I know you can have a 22 rifle or shotgun fishing in a river just did not know if a concealed weapon was different. Also a few times a year I get to go with some friends all the way out to the floating rigs which would be in Federal waters.

I carry my G26 open on the boat. Never worried about offending a shark. Alabama marine patrol has never had an issue. Neither has FWC or the coast guard.

Good Information thanks. I would be surprised if I do not at least see the Marine Police tomorrow.

Carry my glock on tensaw all the time. Usually on bow of boat while bass fishing and Game Warden has never had a problem with it either.

Castle doctrine -- your boat is like your house...especially if it has a head, a stove, and you can sleep on it!

A lot of good anecdotal information.

I'd like to see it in print for Alabama.

The Florida statutes are clearly written. Alabama's, not so much.
