Good.
“4 Mr. Maag distinguished a flare launcher from a grenade launcher and advised the Court
that the exemplar identified by Defendants as a grenade launcher (Doc. 37-3) appears to be
a Tac-D, which is a rescue, assistance, and/or self-defense device that does not involve the
use of fragmentation devices. The device is often referred to as a flare launcher, flare gun, or
Very gun and is commonly used for safety by hunters, and for rescue operations. In fact, such
a launcher is required by the U.S. Coast Guard on larger vessels on navigable waterways for
launching flares. (Doc. 88, pp. 40-44).”
That is a quote of a footnote on page 7 of the opinion. I wonder how many boats in Illinois are required to have a flare gun per Coast Guard regs.
