I have a flare gun and it’s definitely not something to be fired at your genitals. I’m just saying. Even without the burning flare, a great big aluminum thing gets launched at high velocity. Things to do today: Avoid shooting myself in the crotch with a flare gun, if possible.
For some reason, my buddy had a flare gun when we attended college. One evening we saw a guy climbing up the outside of the dorm to the second floor, which was a girls floor. We were on 7th and he fired the flare at the dude and it hit right beside his head. He jumped down and fled quickly. So funny....and what would happen today it you did that.
