Not sure of the > legality of shooting a boat.... Personally, I'd check the legality pretty thoroughly. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the lake patrol decided to arrest you instead. And the consequences could also be pretty severe if you miss but the jet skiier decides you really are shooting at him. I'd leave this one in the realm of fantasy, along with shooting them with flare guns, etc. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Jul 03 2000 - 23:10:43 PDT
