CP,I can clearly see that you have no trouble with government telling you how to live your life.If thats works for you then great.It just don't work for me.You want a law that will make it mandatory to wear a pfd.Then the question begs to be asked ,whats next.Should we all be wrapped in bubble wrap before we leave the house,so that no one will get hurt?Society is full of dangers.
Most states already have laws that state ,boater's are to have a pfd for everyone on board.Why do we need more laws,why not enforce the laws we already have?These pfd's are to be readily accessible.According to a Wyoming Game and fish officer,that means that they are to be with arms reach.,Not stored under the seat cushions,or in a ski locker.
Fine the people that won't obey the laws that we have .Make the fines stiff when some one in found to be in violation.Us "knuckleheads" your words ,want the right to make a choice for ourselves,not to have another law shoved down our throats.
As for having to pay other peoples stupidity.that part of living in a free society.People will always do stupid things,and make mistakes,some times with deadly consequences. Like the old saying you can't legislate stupidly.
