On Tuesday afternoon, the county executive’s office put out a release saying that Daniel McCoy had signed an executive order setting 21 as the minimum age to buy a flare gun and then on Tuesday evening, the county legislature introduced a local law that would treat flare guns like traditional firearms and “must be primarily purchased, possessed, and used by those over 21 years old.”
