[C38] FYI

I'm sure this new law would include my Red Rider BB gun too.  Cheers to all in the New Year,  Steve O

I pass this along not as a political statement of support for one view or the other but just as information that boaters should be aware of so they can plan accordingly.  Today I went to West Marine to purchase replacement flares for my ski boat.  Last election cycle Washington voters approved strict new gun laws.   Well it seems that West Marine in Washington State no longer can sell flare “guns” because they are not an authorized firearms dealer, and in order to buy one a person needs to go through a background check and waiting period.  Also included in the ban are the rocket type flares because they also “fire” a projectile.   I wonder if the USCG will give me a pass for not having flares onboard?
