Many have expressed concern on this subject, but regardless of outcome, the message reinforces the need for boaters to be safe, educated, and prudent; and adds reason to taking the full CPS Boating Course. New courses begin in Sept.

They were fortunate, but consider how you might deal with this.....http://blog.svhelloworld.com/2012/06/you-never-know.html

Having spoken to Officer Willoughby at Blaine Boarder Services, they would have no issues with the transportation of expired handheld flares (not pistol/gun types). Upon his recommendation I have contacted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, for clarification of the pistol type and am waiting for a response. I will post an update when I hear from ATF.
