When I look it up it says only handheld and ground sparklers are legal but It’s weird because I definitely see fireworks being sold around here. People set them off all the time.
@exitseven yeah 4th July is a fairly decent time here, it’s like that time when you pass a girl you had the hots for at school and she’s not a hippopotamus with a toxic attitude, you realise you dodged a bullet , hehe
@chrismaster69 Probably because people would hold a M-80 in their bare hand and were surprised when all their fingers were gone. When I sold police equipment some cops were showing me some B&W crime photos. One of them was a guy that was in a bathroom. He had his head blown clean off and his eyeball landed on the toilet seat and it was looking up at the cops. The cop told me the guy committed suicide by taking 3 M-80s and tying the fused together. He put it in his mouth and lit the fuse. The cop had to go and tell the guy's wife. She looked at the cop and just said "He did it with the M-80s , right? "
No they're illegal but they smuggle them in. 4th of July it sounds like a war zone around here. We live at the very end of my police district so the cops don't come around here very often. We are the community known by the police as "neighborhood justice". Whenever there's a problem we handle it ourselves. After we catch the criminal then we call the police.
We had a problem 2 years ago. We caught the guy and threw him a whopping. Lately we've been having a lot of vehicle breaking. He's been caught on several cameras. We figured out his pattern. Now we're looking for him. He's due to hit tomorrow night.
Oh we definitely will, just like we did last time. There's 14 of us homeowners who will be staked out throughout the neighborhood. There's only one way in to my development by vehicle, six ways in by foot.
I live on agriculturally zoned land with a agricultural land classification, thus I can use fireworks whenever the hell I want to "frighten birds from agricultural works".
Yes, they are, although there are a few restrictions like not after a certain time.
Also, at my home town, there is a big port. If it is outside normal fireworks dates, like 5 November and New Year, people usually let the Coastguard and Coastwatch know. We don't want lifeboats launched because of a stray rocket.
When I lived in California, where fireworks were either banned or heavily restricted, I was really excited about them. When I moved here to Florida, where you can buy fireworks at most retailers, I lost interest and haven't bought any.
Fireworks are legal to light by everyone from the 27th of December until and including the 1st of January (the period around new years). In those days they are legal all over the country apart from areas with many houses with straw roofing, fireworks have to be lit at least 100 m away from those houses. Certain places can get special permission to fire them outside of that period for big events, but that is limitted to professionals.
Not legal here in New York but you would never know that on the 4th of July, every block has a few houses setting them off , too many people for the cops to stop it so they don’t really do anything, too busy responding to fires and accidents from them. People can just go to Pennsylvania to get them. I usually just go to the big displays they have in certain areas
Not personally but to go watch pros shoot them off is allowed. But, there are still people that buy them out of state (we're half an hour from the border) and bring them back and shoot them off, anyway but, nobody ever stops us from doing that.
They are illegal unless it's new year's eve and to have to get a permit but all of December it's all over the country and people get hurt and a lot of property damage.
Usually, outside of the city limits. It’s been way too dry for the last couple of years so they’re all banned right now. We have over 150 wildfires burning right now.
