Finally, some good news -- seems so strange. But finally some sanity surfaces from the Logic Free Zone of Washington, DC. Letting our ships protect themselves against criminals on the high seas.

Semper Peratus!!!

allow ship owners to decide whether to use armed or unarmed guards....

Unarmed. Yeah, that'll do a lot a good.

""It can involve the use of firearms," he said, but added, "We are looking for things that work but that don't make the situation worse.""

This brief article is very sparse in it's information... as in "what type of firearms?" are rpg's allowed? .50 cal's or larger? Full automatics??????? The bad guys are known to use rpg's.

" The U.S. Coast Guard will require U.S.-flagged ships sailing around the Horn of Africa to post guards and ship owners to submit anti-piracy security plans " BULLSHOT If this were half true why did our navy evade a pirate attack instead of bringing the fight to the enemy? Does the US Navy need permission from the coast guard or the President?
