It genuinely perplexes me why people take loaded guns on boats. There is the obvious question of someone's laziness, but how hard is it to load and unload a speargun? Maybe I take for granted being in a good physical shape, but I don't even consider it to be exercise. A 5 or 6 band gun IS a lot, but still...it's less than a minute of your time to unload it, or even to just fire it into nothingness.
Here's another consideration - if you're only getting out of the water for a few minutes or moments, you can just clip the gun to a gear clip line. If you're getting out to move to another spot, that could take a while, during which the rubber bands are under strain and incurring progressive damage. Meaning you will have to replace them sooner. Plus, there are a few people that have postulated that a band gun loses small amounts of power the longer it's loaded. I don't know if that's true or not, but if it keeps people from bringing loaded spearguns onto boats, all the better.
