Why not just keep the expired ones alongside the new ones you purchase and
are up to date? That is what I did.

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?


Whether it's illegal or not depends on the REAL reason you were pulled over.
I was subjected to a "safety check" last year, which I'm sure would not have
happened if my son's girlfriend hadn't been wearing a skirt so short.

NO NO - NO THAT STORY AGAIN!!!!!

One
guy questioned me while his three ****** buddies were at the other end of
the boat asking her what high school she went to. My son commented later
that it was good I was sitting on the hatch where the handgun was stashed.
The ****** in charge cited me for a violation which turned out to be
completely inaccurate, per CG regs. When I trailered the boat to the CG
station, I had their CO look it over. He shook his head as if to say "What
the hell was so-and-so thinking?"

~~ sigh ~~

Too late. :)

Later,

Tom

That'll be a good story no matter how many times it's told!
