piggy4891 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Boy, I never thought I would get such a response about fireworks. Just to let everybody know, I live in Indiana and all fireworks that you can buy in a store are legal, even the amazing ones. I am a fireworks fanatic, usually, on the 4th my family will spend close to two hundred dollars on fireworks because we know somebody who works for a fireworks supplier. Here is his website, and we don't buy any novelties, snakes toy trick noisemakers, or sparklers. http://www.greatgrizzly.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hattuchili Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I used to buy fireworks stuff for new year´s eve. But after all the firework shows I have seen in the last year, I will never ever spend money again for that stuff. --Soren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy88 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Ummmm....I live in California. So do I! Just like Brent said above, he lives in Tustin and they are not legal there, so he lights them in Santa Ana. They are not legal in my area either, but I buy them and light them in Cathedral City. Just because you live in Cailfornia doesn't mean you can't buy fireworks! ----Antonio G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedracer Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 I agree fireworks never get old. My b-day next week too, as a kid back in the day, they were legal all over Cali and I'd get at least 5 boxes worth as birthday gifts, total pyro heaven!

coasterdude5 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Yeah, we put on a big show each year. We usually put about $100 into it each year, but I think we're going for $200 this year. A ton of people come and watch so its well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Dood Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Well, some kid in my town dropped firecrackers and a can of Axe into a fire and burned one of his nipples off after they exploded, so I try and stay away from firecrackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastrfreak2000 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I have some fireworks sitting in the hallway downstairs and I plan on seting them off tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUSHIE Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 My town's firework show is tonight. These people that live here own a international fireworks company and they put on the show every year. As for myself and fireworks... I enjoy making them. The only kind that are legal are thse stupid ones you put on the ground and spray sparks up 3 feet. I've never really gotten in trouble with the law but they have taken stuff away before... 3 times I think. One time we lit a modifed Picclo Pete off in the street and a cop car came down the road and had to wait for it to go off to continue... which for whatever reason is all they did.

Freefallbestrideever Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 ^ Yup, once a cop car passed through my street and people were setting off saturn missiles and an artillery shell. They just waited and then kept on driving, i guess they don't feel like arresting the whole neighborhood, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chmilo24 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 It sucks being in California, you get fireworks but no mortars. But thankfully I have family that lives in Pahrump Nevada. It may seem like a little hole in the wall town because Vegas is only like an hour, but they have a Wal-Mart sized fireworks super-store. It is awesome! I bought a Tuff Shed that is full of fireworks. I even have a license to shoot them off in a field. Yea, I'm a PYRO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparklers, cheap fountains, those bright flashers, the little things that are like 1 inch long that make a 5 second fountain of sparks...erverything! It's all illegal!

dino Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Fireworks are fun to watch, but I hate to buy them cause I always end up thinking of what else I could do with the money. Luckily my older brother is such a big kid when it comes to fireworks so I get to see his. Tons of stands in my area but what's the point of getting any if your only going to get legal ones...?

odene497 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 My whole block is INSANE right now. 1/4 sticks of dynamite are going off everywhere, and they're shooting off HUGE mortars in the middle of the road, that cover the whole block. The cops have given up trying to stop my neighboorhood from doing them, and everyone knows it, so everyone does them worry free. -Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benzo41190 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 For the last 6 years, I have been getting fireworks and lighting them off. And for the last three, I have been buying the shells, and tubes for more fun. There are basically the real thing, like the same ones you seem in firework shows but just a little smaller. Last night, a cop came to our house and we had to hide until he left. Apparently the neighbors called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
