yes they are. One Caution with the Smokes though, they WILL set anything flammable around them on fire, they burn pretty hot.

I don't intend to use them but I will send the words of caution on to the next owner.

 

Thank you for your help. :mrgreen:

yes they are legal.

Really?, military white star and green star clusters are legal?

Signalling devices

Learn something new every day, I would have never thought that would be legal.

WOW so much for an easy answer. I've seen these for sale on gunbroker so I didn't think the question of legality would spark so much controversy. I guess I will have to wait till I get a more definitive answer before I get them. Don't want to attract the men in lettered jersey's.

Im sorry that "Yes" isnt clear enough for you. they are SIGNALLING DEVICES. you can walk into any Boaters world and buy 26MM and 12 Ga Flares and clusters, as well as Rocket Parachute Flares, and Smoke Signal Devices without any control at all. you can Purchase 37MM Flares and Smoke online without any problems. One Cution though, 37MM Less Lethal ammunition (Gas, OC,Projectile) is considered to be a "Destructive Device" under federal law if it is possessed along with a 37mm Signalling device, which ALSO becomes a DD instantly once anything other than a Signalling round is possessed. Flares, and Smoke are Good to go.

expensive, lmfao

This thread is old but hopefully someone will chime in.

 

Let's say someone has dozen live M18 and AN M8 smoke grenades in NJ...are they legal? can they be set off legally? can you transport them (legally) or are they considered "fireworks" under NJ law?

sorry to hijack the thread but if anybody wants to get a 37mm flare launcher I'm selling one

Remember, flare guns are emergency signaling devices. Emergency services will likely respond, and if there is no emergency, you will be subject to (and deserve) all sorts legal repercussions.

 

Now let this thread go back to the grave.

Right, but are pull pin Military smoke grenades seen as emergency signaling devices by the State? if so having one in a car or boat in an emergency kit would be legal.

They sell them online legally... they're made in NJ... I'm assuming they're legal unless used in commission of a crime...

These are some of the ones I have, I keep them in 50 cal cans

 

Would be nice to keep one in the truck since I go DEEP into the woods and also one on the boat.

 

I know ATF says they are legal just not sure how a NJSP Trooper would react if they found one in a survival kit

I managed to shoot off 26.5mm surplus rounds legally about 3-4 years ago. I called the nearest USCG station and told them were I was and that I was going to test several rounds maybe I got lucky I don't know but SAR was never dispatched since they knew this was going to take place.

 

They were parachute illumination rounds and blue/orange smoke rounds.
