I was just watching the news here in Los Angeles and there was a story about a illegal fireworks bust. They found about 1 ton worth of the good stuff. DAMN U LOS ANGELES!!!!!!



*Plans road trip to Tijuana, Mexico!*
 
Only the ones that explode... (SUPPOSED to explode that is). Luckily I can make a quick 20 minute trip over the bridge to Indiana and buy the most illegal shit money can buy :)

Yup. My friend and I were using roman candles that made a gunshot sound in a field my my place about two years ago. Suddenly we saw cop headlights. Thank God the candles went out right then cause we ran for a while and hid in this really tall grassy area. I lost a shoe that night. Hehe. Grabbed it the next morning.

Actually, as it turned out it was probably a false alarm. After hiding in the field for a few mins we got up and started making our way to the shopping area across the street. It was like 11 pm and I had only one shoe at this point. Didnt want to go back from where we came cause we were afraid the cops might be there because thats where we saw the headlights. So anyways the only quick way home would be to have someone pick us up. Had no phone tho. Luckily the theater I worked at was in the shopping area. So i went there, made a call home and talked to my sister to see if she could pick us up. She asks if Ive seen a friend of my brothers in the theater. Ok im dragging this. Short story:

A friend of my brothers who lived behind our house had kinda disappeared and his mom panicked. She called the cops. The cops were looking for him around the area. So, the cop car was probably just passing by and we panicked.

Banned
They took the ban off my town in 00 but i still would like to make the trips down to TJ for some good stuff if i could that is.
 
Illegal only in the city. :-D Once you pass those limits, though, it's game fucking on. You can buy a fucking Titan rocket if you're so inclined. Haha.
 
Fireworks were banned in Northern Ireland since people used them as weapons, during that time my dad bought some illegal ones and the person he got them off got arrested the same day haha.

They were legal but i think they might be illegal again. I remember the really shitty indoor fireworks there was one that looked like an indigestion tablet but was black. U put a flame onto it and it grew like crazy it looked like growing poo

They are illegal here but we all just drive down to the Indian reservation where they have a huge setup of over 100 boths. So many people get fireworks there that the cops dont even try to stop people anymore.

Yeah, no good fireworks in FL. Just ground based stuff, nothing even remotly big is allowed.

About 45 mins west on I-10 you can pickup the good stuff in Alabama. (from tally of course)

I think its still illegal to use them in FL though, we always do a decent show and have never been harassed by cops though.

You should all check what people do in Valencia, Spain, during Fallas. You can smell the gunpowder. Well, not only during Fallas, but all year long. They love fire and gunpowder. You can see small children (3 or 4 years old) exploding tiny fireworks.

Anyone else read that last statement as "You can see small children (3 or 4 years old) exploding"
