Banned fireworks sales - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

bossradio93 · 07-04-2005, 12:09 AM

Are fireworks sales banned in your city? Is your city's considering such a ban? I'm referring to a ban on all sales including the so-called "safe and sane" variety. Vote and discuss here! I should've started a poll like this a few days earlier to give more time but I haven't thought about this till now.

I'm pretty sure we just sell the "safe" ones. Like sparklers, bottle rockets...stuff like that. But people still go out of state to buy stupid crap that's loud and annoying and make our houses shake and the like to blow them up all freaking night.

All have been banned for years in my city. Cannot buy/sell; cannot use.

Of course, some people still do their firecrakers etc. But they're not supposed to.

I live down the hill from the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation, where you can buy illegal fireworks, even though all fireworks are illegal to use in the city of Auburn. Which means the wackjobs here are going to do their best to go pyromaniac on us tonight.

People could easily go to various places around the area and watch the city-sponsored fireworks displays.

I've seen them in the last couple days on the balcony where they set off fireworks in the neighborhood. I've seen it and it's fun. I chose "My city considering it". Fireworks were sometimes illegal or legal. A lot of neighbors set off. I like it.

The sale of fireworks is banned in Massachusetts. They used to be legal in neighboring New Hampshire, and people would go there to get them. Not sure if they're still legal in NH.

barwars · 07-04-2005, 11:10 AM

They're illegal to sell in NY. But you can drive to PA and buy them. It's weird, PA sells them, but PA residents can't buy them. I think they do that in NY too. And of course, if nothing else, you can always drive to the Indian Reservation.

Anyways, they are illegal to use, but police don't care on the 4th of July. I've been up behind the school before with people setting off fireworks on the 4th of July, and police will just drive by without even thinking about it.

I'm pretty sure the purchasing of explosives is illegal here in New York City.

The Mayor is real particular about stuff blowing up.

TripperFan · 07-04-2005, 11:32 AM

"Safe" (whatever THAT means) ones are still allowed here.

My husband doesn't need them anyway. He just about set the trees and house on fire Sat. night with the citronella in the tiki sticks alone!

Courtnee · 07-04-2005, 03:32 PM

Oh Yeah............ that makes sense!

Yup! Like duh.............................

The sale of fireworks is illegal in Michigan but firing them off is not.

They are as of this moment shooting off in my neighborhood as I speak.

No cops in the area............................

Same here, they are banned in my city, but people just go to the next town and buy them. Although I think they are going to demolition factories and buying sticks of dynamite.
