Good piece to have.
Didn't you just have a boating accident and lost a bunch of stuff?

Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Yes, I have a couple...Most are kept as collectibles because flares are kind of expensive to "play" with.

If you're going to get into collecting, your best bet is the mainland gun shows. The only ones I've see locally are extremely overpriced and in terrible condition.

It can be done (Cyl bore only), but keep in mind that a 12ga flare gun is cheaper than replacing a barrel when the shell melts in your chamber.

No problem.  Just remember one thing if you use it in an "emergency": The help you get may not be the help you want.
