I never understood a grown man's fascination with setting off fireworks. But then again, I don't understand their love of firearms in general!

You can always light aerosol cans on fire if you really want to make things explode. Watch out for shrapnel though.

Hey Bille roofs,awings,landscape and any other items outside a typical home may catch on fire. Don't wait untill after the fire to say I did not know that a fire could be started this way and how quick it could spread. Call you local fire dept and ask them to explain that to you. The other thing that many people do not think through is the danger of personal injury from fireworks such as burns lost fingers eye injuries and ETC. Google it and see how many people get injured each year from this. The most common line is I was not thinking and "that is correct". P.S you may want to check your homeowner insurance policy to see if you are covered for starting your house on fire or your neighbors?? and you may want to check out what the fines or Charges are for doing this BY "Accident" with your local police dept. If you want to play with fireworks go out to the desert way away from everyone and take your chances.

PLEASE DON'T.

Desert plants may seem like nothing, because they arent tall stately pine trees or Oaks etc....but they are all thats there and it took them MANY years to get to that point.....PLEASE....don't burn my desert.

The Sissyfying of America...

All is not without risk.

We played outside after dark! Can you imagine? We could have tripped and fell and hurt ourselves...

We climbed trees! Could fall out and get hurt or killed...

It was an awful world...and we could set off firewords! My gosh if we piled all those fireworks up in a big pile and let it off all at once we could put the west side of Las Vegas into orbit!

Did not happen did it?

The Pyro in my family is a SIL who has a Wisconsin license and all sorts of good stuff.

I happen to think it is great entertainment and a reasonable risk. Obviously the PTB agree as buying much is legal in Las Vegas and is sold by all sorts of good people..

And Nye County sells all sorts of much better stuff...which must be OK because they are allowed to sell it right?

We would never allow anyone to sell stuff that could not be legally used would we?

Nah...should not go there.

Judgement is called for in all sorts of human endeavour. That includes fire works.

I'm with you on this one. Although I like to call it the Pussification of America.
