Are 37 MM WWII flare pistols considered a pistol under Maryland law and therefore in need of a 77R? How about other older Brass Flare pistols?
WWII Flare pistol Pistol or not?

Why would it be? Anyone can go to wal mart and buy a flare gun.
Even so, if it is a WWII model, it should be a C & R and not need one.

USCG-approved signal pistols (devices) are specifically exempt from being considered handguns under MD law (5.102(9)),
hence being able to buy them at the local Wal-Fart.
As for flare guns in general, well... technically they are considered handguns per 5.101(n)(2). Or NOT, per 5-132(4).
If you have an FFL-03 and buy from out of state, no worries either way.
<<<-- US M-8 37mm converted to fire 12 gyrojets, c.1965

What you actually is a Walther Marine Flare pistol... in the early 1980s you could buy one, though they we a bit pricey.
Turns out they would accept 40mm grenades. ATF went and got them all back...
