Ready to Blow Some Stuff Up!
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 http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/t...o/8b0b51c0.jpg |

Re: Ready to Blow Some Stuff Up!
It's illegal to use anything that shoots into the air. Not illegal to buy it here tho :sh

Re: Ready to Blow Some Stuff Up!
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.:r

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.

Re: Ready to Blow Some Stuff Up!
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. |
Re: Ready to Blow Some Stuff Up!
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.

Re: Ready to Blow Some Stuff Up!
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. |
Re: Ready to Blow Some Stuff Up!
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.

Re: Ready to Blow Some Stuff Up!
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!!
