Being State or city owned property. I'm just curious if it's really legal to keep a gun in your boat? I've always kept it in my boat since we sleep on it out on the water a lot. It really never crossed my mind if it's legal or not.

So "self defense" is only a valid exemption once one has asked for permission and paid the fee! Just who writes these laws?
