Buying fireworks for the 4th of July celebration

Actually, I haven't bought any fireworks to shoot off for almost longer than I can remember.
I don't mind watching other 'blow up their money with China junk' but I don't.
The 'fun' of shooting off fireworks ended decades ago. Yes, it's legal in this states although not in all states ..."IS that FREEDOM?" :roll:
How much do you spend on fireworks every year?

The government has no rights. Only the people have rights which empowers the government.
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:

When my kids were young at home, we would get a few bang bangs along with legal sparklers to celebrate the 4th. Now that they are doing the same for their kids, not for me and my Mrs. anymore.
The laws changed around here a few years ago and now folks can buy quite a few pretty cool fireworks. There are tents set up all over the place and they mostly seem to be pretty busy. I wandered through one a while ago and found that if I wanted to put on any kind of a decent display, it would set me back several hundred dollars!
( one of the last times I got careless was firing off the "mortar " type had one in my hand and one lighting going into in the tube the sparks lit the one in my hand the 1st stage of it went off burned my hand and my leg ( I was wearing shorts ) it was bad, any normal person would have
sought out medical assistance , no way was I going to admit stupidity and its illegal in our state any way
so I did the best I could for a week or so ( on vacation ) to keep down the pain and keep it all clean .)
with that aside all the other times went off safely and the kids well us also enjoyed it but as kids got older fireworks got less powerful and more expensive we stopped . now we waste all that money in ammo and have a back yard shoot
oh we still have neighbors that do it including one group about a mile + away they go all out as in $$$$$ and we just watch theirs
Have a buddy that will blow $500 to $1000.
There are perfect times, to do just that. (Like 3 AM.)
What??? :roll:
Would buy 5 or 6 of the 9 round 2.5" to 3" mortars and put on a little show for the neighbors.
Did not do it until the county decided to put up large signs leading to the lake that there was a $ 510.00 fine for shooting mortars.
Decided to not celebrate Independence Day by bowing to government.
Now a lot of people are going to the local reservation and buying them. It took a couple of years, but a little civil disobedience is contagious.

That's going on facebook!
My cats got used to me shooting off the back porch. Now they just sleep right through it.
But the local Rescue Squad does a nifty July 4th program- $10, country band, Lady's Auxiliary selling hot dogs, kids climbing on fire trucks and having a great time- and fireworks at dusk. Meet your neighbors, enjoy an evening of life in the country. Bring your lawn chairs.
