Well people we just being complete d*cks about what they did with the fire works. Abusing animals and children with them, not to mention deaths as well.
But I think that it's for the best they are against the law to have them here, it saves a lot of pain from happening
Fireworks are illegal here too except on the 4th of July, and then only "safe and sane" fireworks. See, over here we have these things called "dry grass" and "fires."
Here in Missouri fireworks are legal year round. There are some towns and cities that prohibit them, but it's usually not enforced too strictly, and not at all on the 4th of July.
There's a law here in Indiana (I think it's Indiana-wide... but it may just be per-county) that prohibits the use of fireworks unless you sign an agreement to take them out of state, and even then I think it's either legal only on New Year's and July 4th, or the cops just don't enforce it during those days (which makes it just as good as being legal). I think the law's just in place to give cops some ammo to use for arrest in case someone's being a complete idiot with their fireworks, because I never see the sensible pyrotechs get in trouble around here.
