I'd have a weapon on my boat. An AR10 and a shotty. I would also have the best built in hidden spot for them that would make a cartel drug runner jealous.
Taking firearms into a port in a different country is a no go. Hell, Federal Agents have to get country clearance permission and send serial numbers of weapons and round counts of ammo at least 45 days prior to going to that country. A Skipper just can't belly into port with them on vacation.
A lot of commercial vessels have no guns aboard but instead rely on a trained professional armed guards that are brought to the boat while in dangerous waters.

A lot of guns go overboard, but then they source them from that Port country, something like that. Sounds ridiculous. It was explained to me but I forgot exactly.I assume the saving grace is the armed professionals are registered in the country who's territorial waters are being transited. Yes?
They actually work off of a mother ship that is just outside of the territorial waters. When needed they are transported to the ship that needs protection. After seeing the ship thru the conflict area there are transported back to the mother ship to wait for the next assignment. They work so many weeks then take off for a period of time and repeat. From what I understand, as a contractor they make good money.
