RE: [Paddlewise] Jetskis

!
A Glock will interfere with your compass, and it is d**n hard to aim one while keeping both hands on the paddle.

There was an incident I read about while visiting Seattle about 5 years ago (before I had the canoe & kayak).  A homeowner on the Green River (or possibly one of the other rivers SE of Seattle) became enraged that paddlecraft were using "his" river.  He took out his AK-47 and popped off a couple of clips.  The range was sufficient that he missed all the paddlers.  (By the way, he was buck naked during all this).  He was charged with a misdemeanor and released the same day.  The Times noted that his gun would be returned!  If anyone knows the details more accurately that I have recalled them here please post.
