Drizzay 651 Posted July 5, 2019 Do you got the full Monty going off at all hours? MN does not allow the hardcore fireworks, but WI does. So many make the 30 min drive across the border. It is about every 5 min now. We are at dusk, so the big booms are coming more frequently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,958 Posted July 5, 2019 If you light off fireworks like m-80's and not the kind that sparkle or shoot in the sky, you might be a redneck. Or just a loser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted July 5, 2019 We were shooting off fireworks at our high school graduation party. In a nice suburban neighborhood. Lit some of those crappy little smoke bombs you can buy. The girls dad whose house it was comes out with three us army orange smoke canisters from Vietnam. The police were not amused.

wiffleball 4,682 Posted July 5, 2019 Years back, I paid all the neighbor kids a quarter for every used sparkler they could pick up. After their second degree burns, they haven't touched fireworks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted July 5, 2019 South Carolina allows all kinds of fireworks. One of the best places to buy and shoot them in the US. They were going off as soon as it got dark and kept going well past midnight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,977 Posted July 5, 2019 I live in Philly and the 4th is white trash Christmas. It sounded like the neighbors were lighting sticks of dynamite until midnight. I thought my dog was going to shiit the floor. I sat on the deck with a glass of wine inhaling the secondhand chronic and praying some mutant would light himself on fire but sadly it never happened.

nzoner 936 Posted July 8, 2019 I had a family shop with me that was staying at a campground that didn't allow fireworks,so we agreed that if they bought from me they could use my land to shoot.They had a decent show too the best being 24-60 gram artillery shells called Brave New World.
