Ready to Blow Some Stuff Up!

jledou · 06-14-2011, 12:06 AM

Sitting this morning in the UK get ready for meetings, I realized the 4th is right around the corner and it is about time to start planning the fireworks show.

Last year we made our own tubes and rigged up a little over 160 shots with cannon fuse.

Does anyone else put on their own show or any commercially licensed shooters out there?

We try and do some fireworks on the 4th and new years.

Here's some of my stash

Illegal you mean the same way as....

Who cares, launch em!

emopunker2004 · 06-14-2011, 01:58 AM

It's illegal to use anything that shoots into the air. Not illegal to buy it here tho

Zeuceone · 06-14-2011, 02:01 AM

That doesn't mean it stops anyone. We would actually have a firework fight here, the south against the north. It was pretty stupid but a lot of fun.

+1 but no one cares around the holidays. Only when the old people call and complain.

Same goes in Cali when i was there

Zeuceone · 06-14-2011, 02:10 AM

My fire fighter friend said they only ticket the people who still stand there trying to light the firworks as they pull up to them with the lights on.

None here this year. All fireworks are banned -personal and commercial- because of extremem drought. Gudalupe county has actually banned all open flames outdoors. No grills, no smokers, no fireworks, no mosquito candles, no bug torches, technically, no lighters/no cigars.

.........Good thing I am going home to good ol' South Carolina for the 4th. Oh yeaaaaaaahhhhhh. Home of the cheap fireworks.

cricky101 · 06-14-2011, 07:44 AM

It was a tradition for my mom and I to drive to South Dakota from Minnesota each year to pick up a trunk full of fireworks for the 4th. And it was her idea, too. She's kind of a pyro.

i used to love firework shows! hmmm

OLS · 06-14-2011, 08:31 AM

I used to get a few bags full on my way through Knoxville towards NC. My nephew and I would find a typical business
on the side of a rural highway, invariably closed for the holidays, and head off behind it to shoot our stuff. Nowadays
my mother suggests I do not get anything, so I get a little selection of non-report fireworks. You know how FEW
items do not have a report? Almost nothing.

elderboy02 · 06-14-2011, 08:47 AM

My buddy and his dad spend 10k on fireworks every year. Yeah, I'm going to their party. I used to spend 1k-2k each year, but now I don't see the point when I can go to their party.

maninblack · 06-14-2011, 09:24 AM

I live in the fireworks capital of the Midwest. We have around 10 fireworks tents and warehouses in a 10 mile radius. People come from all over to buy here. Crazy. I have some contacts so I get them cheap. All the good stuff too. I love the 4th!!
