fireworks ban

[Okie Amazon]

We used to get on our roof in OKC and watch the downtown works, but after our neighborhood became Little Tiajuana, it became too dangerous with folks replacing fireworks with 9mm's and fully automatic weapons fire.

They have been illegal here for 30+ years. You can have them down in the valley, but not up in the mountains.

Legal here, but not the big suckers. Those people drive to Missouri to get. But this year, thanks to the Mighty Mo, you have to drive way way way far around, so people aren't bothering.

I like the fireworks but they banned them here in NW Louisiana this 4th. I completely agree with it though its just to dry and already had 2 forest fires close to us from someone tossing a cigarette out the window so was really concerned about all the kids not paying attention to what happens after their pretty show is over

Most of the cities around here ban them. Doesn't stop people in my neighborhood from setting them off for weeks heading up to the fourth though.

They're banned for personal use here, but people bring them up from Mexico. Also, there's a push to eliminate or reduce the number of public fireworks show here, too.
