You practice firing one in the air, then the CG practices coming to your
rescue, then they practice writing a citation with a big fine for your
initial practice of firing the practice flare. That is if they don't
practice arresting you...

Is it illegal to have expired had held and gun fired flares on board
when,
at the same time, you have a full compliment of "fresh" ones meeting
USCG
regs?

I asked the Coast Guard Auxiliary this question. They said to put them in
a
bag marked "practice flares", and keep them on board.

Isn't that interesting. How do they expect you to practice with them?
