Just wondering. Though 4th of July is over & done with, hear and see all this big displays of fireworks, inside suburban neighborhoods, crowded ones at that just recently!

While I do love fireworks, I do think this is very dangerous and fires could easily result.
So, is it really LEGAL to fire off fireworks in a crowded neighborhood in the state of CT?

What's the matter Jviello? Are you mad I even asked this question? I'm confused here.

Or are you mad they're still firing off fireworks, big ones at that, the kind you see at Fireworks on the Forth of July, in a crowded neighborhood?
They have gas lines too, all over the area they're firing these things off. I just think it's dangerous, that's all. It's getting pretty dry outside now.

CT is not a very safe place to live anymore.
No one wants to do anything about all the dangerous situations that exist here.

Really? REALLY?

Most states have much looser fireworks laws or none at all.

It's been talked about over and over and over and over year after year after year after year.

Well, wasting my time again asking ??s on this forum, but JUST looked at the Search engine for this site, and this is what JayCt said awhile back.

Only certain non-exploding fireworks can be sold in CT. They changed the law several years ago allowing them. They are even sold in the supermarket now here. Jay

The fireworks, I, Dana Marley, am talking certainly were exploding, 100 feet up in the air. The kind professionals use.

I just talked to a local fireman and he said that "No, you couldn't use those kind of fireworks, yourself, if you're not a pyrotechnic professional. It's not legal."

And I'm not flaming anyone here, just stating facts.
I guess as long as you're not at risk, it is not your concern.

If you use the search engine you will easily see that there are numerous existing threads on legal/illegal fireworks. I don't see how anyone was wasting your time by suggesting you do a search.

And if you think that fireworks do not cause fires, then you need to check out this website:
