My favorite warm water beach, also shark free, is the local Y.
“I lived in Florida for decades and do not recall ever hearing about hammerheads in the Gulf of Mexico”
I once saw a very large hammerhead take a fish off a line at the end of the pier in Mexico Beach, Fl. There were about a kabillion people swimming off the beach a hundred yards away. I believe all the big sharks I’ve seen in the gulf were hammerheads. Just difference experiences I guess.
“I never go unarmed where I’m not the top predator. It’s hard to pack heat in the ocean.”
In Alabama it’s legal to carry a concealed spear gun.
Is that a speargun in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?
Glock has water rated Firing Pins and do not use hollow point rounds. It will expand in the barrel and block it. There are a few special made pistols for use underwater like HK P11 and the Russian made SPP-1.
