Yeh I heard about that a few years ago about Ohio's fireworks law.. LOLBeen hearing the complaints around here the last couple of days...............What gets me is its Illegal but they still sell em here..............Hoser
All ya got to do is sign a paper that states you will take them to another state to discharge them, Ya right, Ill bet 90% are stayn right here..............HoserYeh I heard about that a few years ago about Ohio's fireworks law.. LOL
It seems that with a valid Drivers License to another state you can buy in Ohio, but you cant use them in Ohio and nor can the residents there buy them at the shops there, very wierd!! lol
Here in NY, if you go to New Hampshire, there are places on the border which sell them to people in NY, everyone knows what they are doing selling to out of state people. so thats where we get ours
It is also a wonder that I survived unscathed every 4th as a teenager.Out this way, kids hold them in their hands and aim them at one another.:roll:
Is it any wonder restrictive laws are in place? :evil:
Yeah Dan we got pretty wicked too-one guy liked to lite a book of blackcats and stuff it into another guy's back pocket! This town sounds like iraq on the 4th with the asians and their smuggled dynomite....tomorrow's definately scanner time for sure)We've been getting calls for weeks now. More and more families shooting theirs off every weekend. Personally, I could care less as long as they are not being blatently dangerous, block the road and then yell at me for "speeding" at 5mph:roll: trying to get around them, or shooting them off at 3.a.m unless it is the 4th (then it is all game!)
There are some people that call the PD IMMEDIEATLY every time someone shoots off even ONE firework at 8p.m. This is ridiculous. But it gets worse.....The same complantaint is now calling the fireworks in as "gunshots heard" in the neigborhood, which illicits a code 3 response. I am sure the dispatcher is asking them "are you sure its not fireworks?" as they can see on the CAD 15 calls for firework complaints in the last 3 weeks, but they still lie to the dispatcher and say "GUNSHOTS, NO MISTAKE!":roll:. They do this just to get the PD response and complain about some very tame fireworks. The responding unit knows that it is fireworks because he was chilling out watching them and even says so on the radio, but has to run full lights and sirens anyways. I hope next time that the responding unit parks in front of the complainer's home with the car lit up and blooping and bleeeping it's siren.
Personally, I've calmed down a ton with fireworks. We got braver and braver every year by fabricating our own, modifying chinese mortars, shooting bottle rockets at each other, shooting bottle rockets out of our teeth, flys, butts, etc. minor powder burns were traditional!We decided to cool-it a bit when we worked up to dragon's breath shotgun shells.
Anyone know why the illegal, careless and stupid still get their hands on fireworks year after year and still create accidents and fires?Is it any wonder restrictive laws are in place? :evil:
Residents can buy them. We just have to promise to take them out of the state. The whole thing is one big wink and nudge.It seems that with a valid Drivers License to another state you can buy in Ohio, but you cant use them in Ohio and nor can the residents there buy them at the shops there, very wierd!! lol
I am in Myrtle Beach and I will be taking some back to VA. :lol:yea same way here in nc but you drive to sc and buy all you want
The one calling in the the gunshots should be charged with 911 Abuse)We've been getting calls for weeks now. More and more families shooting theirs off every weekend.
