Gas Stations That Sell Fireworks...

[Bob Peale]

Anybody else think this is a REALLY bad idea?

 

[HighSchoolJock]

LMAO, what a light show that would be! Definitely a BAD idea!

 

[ExLimey]

They do it up here in the North too. But they also sell cigarettes and give out matches so...

 

[scylis]

"bad?"
no

"funny?"
yes!

 

[InnocentAngel81]

my little bros would be the two dumbasses that would make it illegal to sell them at gas stations

 

[Bob Peale]

Well, for starters, it's only legal to SELL them in southern states primarily

That is, unless you are fortunate enough to live in one of those militia-popular states!

BTW, because I know it was keeping you all up, here are the states where fireworks are legal:

Alabama,
Louisiana,
Oregon,
Alaska,
Michigan,
South Carolina,
Arkansas,
Mississippi,
South Dakota,
California,
Missouri,
Tennessee,
Colorado,
Montana,
Texas,
District of Columbia,
Nebraska,
Utah,
Florida,
New Hampshire,
Virginia,
Hawaii,
New Mexico,
Washington,
Idaho,
North Carolina,
West Virginia,
Indiana,
North Dakota,
Wisconsin,
Kansas,
Oklahoma,
Wyoming,
Kentucky

Connecticut just added a few more to the legal fireworks, still a major debate going on about it though.

I know Tennessee it is only legal outside of city limits to sell fireworks for the most part. Some of the backwoods towns haven't passed an ordinance making it illegal to sell fireworks but those are few and far between.

Ahhh but Tennessee has the great fireworks plants you can go to year round.

California on the other hand, has "safe and sane" fireworks, which mean they can make noise nothing else. And those are only legal in some counties.

 

[Dragon Dreamer]

That's about as dumb as truck stops that do a booming business in fertilizer.

Only if it doesn't go boom like quite a few have around there.

You mean to tell me that truck stops now sell fertilizer??? What will they think of next! Or is this a Canadian thing? EH?

 

[perks]

you missed Maryland, I think. There's a big tent o'fireworks right down the street.

When I drove truck, I saw quite a few Pilot's and T/A's that sold fertilizer. I thought that this was the stupidest idea ever, since fertilizer and deisel fuel don't generally mix well. One of the Pilot's in Jersey even had the bags of fertilizer out near the truck pumps!

We have a halloween store that sells them... all different types... the way they get past it is by having you sign a waiver that you state you will not shoot them off within the state. Sign it... you don't even have to put your real name down... and buy whatever you want.

 

[SleepingWarrior]

Legal in Minnesota now too since April... well only some are legal. They can't be firecracker like or shoot higher than 10-12 feet in the air.

 

[mistyrain]

I work in a gas station and we have fireworks right now and I am very carefull of who buys them and we dont let people play with them. Its only a stupied idea depending on who is working in the gas station.

Wisconsin allows them but on a restricted basis, as far as I know. All the really good ones (cherry bombs, M-80's, etc. ) were banned back when I was a kid so it has been at least 35 years since any of them sold in Wisconsin had any kick to them.

Individual cities have their own laws, too. Many even restrict sparklers!

Don't come to Wisconsin to buy your fireworks, in other words. You'll be majorly disappointed.

Hey what they had in Hudson was good enough for the Minnesotans who couldn't buy them here. South/North Dakota did have better fireworks though, but if your closer to Wisconson than the Dakota's it was/is worth going to Wisconson to get those previously illegal fireworks.

Maryland just eased up on its control of fireworks this year.

We're now allowed to use those Ground Sparkler Thingies that come in a cool canister and shoot up a little ways, and the toy tanks and the whirlygigs that go on trees and fenceposts.

Wheeeeeeee!
