Sup /k/, so I was thinking about taking a cycling trip around the U.S.
Now I'm very concerned for my safety and I'll be traveling mostly in rural areas. I can't bring a handgun because I'm 20, and bringing a shotgun or rifle on a bike is impractical and probably not legal.
So I was thinking about buying one of those vz44 flareguns and bringing them along.
I figured if I get stranded it could signal my position and if need be I could fire it at bears, moose, or people if necessary.
Would this be ill advised? I saw a flaregun thread on here a few days ago and it got me thinking but I'm not sure if it's something illegal to carry cross country.
>>
Maybe get an adapter for it?

Flares themselves dont work well as a defensive item. A 12ga insert makes it a an illegal SBS and the .410/22lr/9mm inserts are impractical against bears/moose. Better off with a can of mace or just bicycling away.
>>
I dont know about the legality but if I was taking a long hike alone it can't hurt to have some kind of signaling device if you get injured.
>>
>>34238581
Yeah I'm aware it's not at all an ideal defensive tool. But say I hurt my ankle and a bear is charging me, I'd rather blast at him with fire than sit and die.
>>
>>34238597
Definitely, I usually have road flares in my car for that reason too
>>34238576
Those are illegal in my state. But I guess I could try and buy one out of state and throw it away before coming home.

>I'd rather blast at him with fire than sit and die.
The bear isnt going to fuck off because of a flare, if a bear is going to attack you you better kill it or die
>>
>>34238581
what if he loaded the shells with rice crispies?
>>
>>34238636
I've heard of people using flares to frighten off bears. I'm just saying it's at least something.

What is wrong with you

>>34238581
it will do some damage. the 12 gauge inserts are tapered just to accept 12 gauge flares but mini shells will probably fit. possession of a flare gun and insert would be treated the same way as a handgun. flare guns are legal everywhere, but if a cop wanted to give you a hard time for carrying one he could.

you can find zastava m88a's for ~200, I got one of SG but looks like they're sold out now. Maybe gunbroker.

It's durable and reliable - I've never had a malfunction, but good luck getting tight groupings past 20 yards with that ridiculous trigger pull.

shit wrong thread

Thinking about picking one of those up. How much is the trigger pull? Estimate?
>>
>>34241188

I'd say somewhere in the range of eight pounds, but you get used to it after a while
