Fireworks legal where you live?
« on: June 30, 2001, 12:24:40 AM »
I went and got fireworks today for the 4th, drove to Indiana about 2 hours away, and was wondering how many people on here can set off their own fireworks.  So is it illegal where you live, it is here in Illinois but I still always set off my own, and if it is do you do them anyways?

Here in Germany you are allowed to set up a firework only on New Year`s Eve. And the shops only sell fireworks the 3 days before.
But I think you can get an authority when you apply in several agencies.
Is that a yes or no ?

It\'s not legal in Va. Beach, you can go to North Carolina and buy fireworks though. I think it\'s legal in parts of Virginia, but it depends on the type of firework.

Don\'t get me started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look, they should not be illegal ANYWHERE in the USA.

WTF WTF WTF WTF!!! We here in Minnesota have to BREAK THE FREAKING LAW to celebrate our FREEDOM?!?! How f-in stupid is THAT?!?

If some f-in moron blows his damn face off--too bad--boo frekin hoo:(:( Or burns down a building, send THAT idiot to jail and make him pay for any damages. Punish the morons that do damage, but don\'t take away MY freedoms because SOME people are idiots!!!

Here in Minnesota (aka: communist central) It\'s a freking felony----A FELONY to posses over 40lbs of fireworks. Did you CATCH THAT!! You lose your right to vote AND posses firearms if convicted of a felony.

Great... Celebrate your freedom and independence from an oppressive government (old England) by liting fireworks and get a Felony charge and lose your right to vote for the a-hole politicians. BS!!

That said, I\'m leaving today to go "up-north" to lite my 50lbs:) Take that you commie bastards!!!

......Ahhhh.. Well, It\'s a good thing I didn\'t "get started":)

Thanks for listening to my little rant.

Illegal here in Iceland,except on new-years eve,then everybody (and I mean everybody) starts shooting at excactly 0:00 I think it got into the Guinness book of world records for being the biggest fireworks show in the world,and we do it every year.
I recently discovered that my ass is the key to the universe.....now I must fight to protect my ass from those who might abuse it!!!

Yep, Illegal in Georgia (and California).  But you can go to places like Stone Mountain to see them displayed.  but people still do them at home, and as long as it\'s not a big group there\'s no worries.  I find it annoying though when people use fireworks during daylight hours of ID4.  That\'s just a waste.

Wrong about California buddy.  Maybe in most cities, but where I live, we have street vendors selling them very publicly and officers partaking in the event as well.  This is about the only "free" part of California where you can express your "free"dom.
