I hope that is an old cheap shotgun....a flare will ruin a shotgun's
barrel.

I now have TWO full canisters of expired flares, both hand held and 12

the flares that are up to 3 years expired for backups, just in case, behind
the canisters of the unexpired flares.

I've asked 3 fire departments, 3 police officers, the USCG Auxiliary and the
USPS (Power Squadron, not the post office) and all I get is "I don't
know..." or, one fire department told me to take them out on the Chesapeake
Bay and fire them horizontally, preferably at Bayliners.

What do YOU do?


Load them up in your pump shotgun and put on a fireworks show for the
neighhbors. If you do it on a holiday they won't be noticed among the
other fireworks.
People shoot 2" mortars ($5 and up a pop) around here to celebrate
