[QUOTE="Flbigguy1950, post: 349546, member: 6211"] Back in 2008, a question came up about the legality of a Flare gun. I just purchased a German made Flare Pistol from a Gun Auction website and they had this information listed: NO FFL LICENSE or PERMITS NEEDED TO BUY, OWN, SELL or TRADE THIS FLARE PISTOL. IT CAN LEGALLY FIRE SHOTGUN SHELL BUCKSHOT AMMO MAKING THIS A TRUE "SHOTGUN" PISTOL & SURVIVAL PISTOL TO TAKE CAMPING OR ON BOATING TRIPS. It's like having a single shot Taurus 'JUDGE' pistol that can also fire flares! A flare pistol is a very interesting device. Any person can own and carry concealed a flare pistol without a permit in all the states of the U.S.A. because it is a signaling safety product. I figure they know the law better than I do. Naturally it'd be illegal in Canada so you better have a SPOT device [url]https://www.findmespot.com/en/[/url] in case of trouble. ********************** An insert can be purchased at additional cost to fire .22 LR, .45 Long Colt/.410 Shotshells or 12 Gauge aerial flares available on other websites.
