Just read an interesting article about the recent pirate attacks… Basically the article is saying how many ship owners are reluctant to arm their crews because of the legal implications… I might be missing something here but shouldn’t their safety rate higher on the list? I don’t know about you but I would much rather have a gun.
One of the problems is that there are different gun laws between the countries that the ships are going to and from… But I wonder if they kept the guns on the ships, locked up, after they docked if it would still be a problem… Like most criminals I’m guessing that these pirates would be less likely to attack a someone that is returning fire.
