Comments on OC.

OK, now have a legally purchased handgun.  Haven't OCd yet.  My purpose was twofold: for home defense, and protection in the woods as we do a lot of hiking in the deep woods.  I know I can transport the weapon, unloaded in the trunk with the ammo in a different location (correct?)to/from the hike.  What about transpoting same aboard a private boat?  I can't seem to find anything on that.  Would that require a CPL license?

Thank you.
