I'm actually driving down to Ohio tomorrow to pick up the fireworks that they don't sell here in Michigan (i.e. the stuff that blows up). I hate this crap. Just because some little piss ant decided to stick a Jumping Jack (whatever that is) in his ear and light it, doesn't mean the rest of us have to suffer...

Here in Tennessee, we have fireworks stores that sell them year-round, but we usually buy them from one of the many tents that set up shop. The best store I've seen is in Georgia, shortly after you get out of Tennessee. That store is huge!
I've spent a number of 4th of Julys in Washington State and Oklahoma. We would always head on out to the Indian reservations to get the good stuff. |

The reservation is the best place to buy them. You can get the roman candles and crap there, but then light them up in the city limits and you will face fines up to like 1K. |

I live in Northern California where our county banned all fireworks, even the "safe and sane" ones. Their enforcement is somewhat lax, though. Two years ago we had a few hundred dollars worth of fireworks that our friend brought back from Indiana which consisted of roman candles, mortar boxes, aerial rockets, etc. It was quite grand...except when we got shut down by the cops half-way through our show. Turns out the police department got multiple calls from our neighbors about possible gunshots which were actually firework mortar shells being fired. In the end, the policemen were only worried about the possible gunshots and not the fireworks. We were not fined, if memory serves me correct, but they did ask that we stop yet they never actually confiscated the remaining fireworks

I've mainly lived in Smyrna, LaVergne, and mostly Murfreesboro, but I've worked in Nashville a bit. I actually moved to Tennessee on July 4th, 1994. I've seen the fireworks show there in Nashville a few times. It's pretty damn sweet. Sounds like you've got an awesome spot to view them from!
Up until the last couple of months, I lived in Murfreesboro (since 2000). I was close enough to MTSU where I could sit in my front yard and watch the city's fireworks from there. |

Last year I spent around $300 and a few years ago I was at a party where the guy spent $1500 trying to compete with his drunk neighbor.
I spent $120 this year. Not many good deals all around, no good buy one get one free places. It's my birthday on the 4th so I always try to splurge a bit and get some good fireworks. I may end up getting more though.
I know that fireworks place you speak of zane. It's about 2 hours from me. Are they open year round in GA? I know they are in TN but not all parts.

Actually, it's not illegal in like on state, it's actually illegal in the majority of states. But on 4th of July there's like 0% chance any cops will arrest you.

I know one time my grandpa bought a half stick of dynamite from this independent fireworks dealer who had his own year round shop.
Needless to say it was awesome that 4th of july. one decent size crater.

I'd assume that they are open year-round, but I'm not sure. I've only been there a few times, but it was always right around the 4th of July. We would stop there on our way back from the water park right outside of Atlanta. |

All fireworks are illegal in my city, even the safe and sane ones. Nobady really listens though, we usually drive to pahrump in Nevada and bring them back into Cali but we forgot to do that this year. Still, about 3 of my neighbos are cops so we usually have a good confiscated fireworks show. |

Last night friend spent $200 on fireworks in my county (where they are legal) and then brought them back to Nashville (where they are illegal) and we fired about 2/3 of them off before people got royaly pissed. I had to stop him before the cops came. I think we'll fire the rest off tonight in my county. We got a lot of those ones that you just reload into a tube. |

It's funny because you see hobos, hicks and drug addicts go in there buying tons of stuff, and directly on the receipt it says when you bought them you put yourself in a legal promise that you were buying them to sell them in another state within 48 hours XD
