Fireworks seized from barge on Patuxent

[LordStanley]

I don't see where I disagree with that, but up until a few years ago (maybe 10) the only thing that was legal was gold sparklers...not silver, not snakes, nothing that spinned or moved on the ground, absolutely nothing but low temp (gold) sparklers.

spinning and moving on the ground are illegal too.

Am I missing something...or would this make bottle rockets illegal? They are arial...but do they have enough explosives in them to make them illegal?

yes they are

 

[theArtistFormerlyKnownAs]

yes they are

Well now isn't that just silly?

I can't say that I know anyone who has been injured from a bottle rocket, nor a firecracker. Well, let's make that SERIOUSLY injured... A pack of firecrackers going off in your hand isn't too fun...but boy is it hilarious to watch.

Also...here is a PSA: If you decide to take a bottle rocket off of the stick, light it, and throw it...there is a distinct possibility that it will fly back, directly towards you...

I'm starting to see why some of these higher-class fireworks are illegal (because things more powerful than firecrackers and bottle rockets can do some real damage )

It appears to me that someone's fireworks display for the 4th of July got squelched by the coppers because they didnt pay the right fee's and didnt have the proper permits.

They dont care if you blow yourself to hell they just want their fee's paid when you do it.

No, they want you to show that you have all of the insurance so that when you blow up your neighbors and their houses, somebody gets the $$$.

watch out for those black cats... they can really do some damage

 

[MMDad]

watch out for those black cats... they can really do some damage

If they had $10,000 worth of black cats out on that barge, yes they would do some damage.

Be fair.
And the fun things are not legal because half of the state has below average intelligence and cannot be trusted not to shoot themselves up the nose with one.

Typical Blue State.
