A "flare gun" while not normally considered to be a "firearm" of choice, IS, in fact, a firearm because it uses an explosive charge to fire and launch the flare projectile. At short range this could be a deadly weapon! Therefore, it IS a firearm under the meaning of USC Title 18, and its possession is prohibited to convicted felons.
