yes, for now. Utah is kind of a "dry" state so after a few fires they put the kybosh on fireworks. |

You need to have a difference between fireworks and REAL fireworks. Most all states sprinklers, non crackling fountains and anything that doesn't go boom or up in the air is ok.
Real fireworks go boom and go up in the air and explode. Even the fountains go boom. |

Not even sparklers.
Fountains and sparklers can be bought elsewhere in the state though. Have to go to TN or SC for the real stuff to smuggle back. |

Yes (all the good ones, too).

Nope. The North state is basically a giant pile of kindling this time of year with a nice hot breeze blowing over it
In less desiccated counties there's still not real fireworks. You can't even get firecrackers here...legally. |

Technically yes...
But really no. Nothing that explodes or flies more than 1 foot into the air or traverses more than a few feet on the ground is legal. Also no sparklers with metal... What's that leave? nothing worth buying. |

Legal to sell here, but many stores make you sign that you're buying them for out of state usage.
Don't know why. Last year some kids nearly razed a trailer park to the ground after stealing some commercial mortar type fireworks from a show put on by the elk lodge.

I wish.
A local community here is all over media with their "ZERO TOLERANCE….. DOUBLED FINES….POSSIBLE JAIL TIME" warnings for fireworks for the upcoming weekend. And the list of public displays gets smaller and smaller every year due to liability and air pollution worries. Sadly, I think I will live to see a time where fireworks on the 4th is all but a fond memory, at least in California. Most of us "regular" folks are concerned enough about the consequences to not shoot off anything. Interestingly, the Mexican parts of town are not as concerned. Sounds like a war zone in the barrio once the sun goes down on the 4th. Freedom and civil disobedience…. The Mexicans have it figured out more then the natives. |

Yes and they haven't banned lighting them off in my county either despite it being a tinderbox. I will probably not buy any though as I don't want to burn down my house and the forest.

The question really is if it's enforced.
Around here July 2 - 6, anything goes. Outside those dates...pepper your angus. Think certain fireworks are technically illegal here, but seems to be easy enough to find them. Just down the road we have a big big n' mortar fireworks store. Think you just have to give the store clerk a secret codeword or something and they'll escort you to the back room where the good stuff is. |

Sure can. And the bullshit "Oh, I promise to take them out of state" form is going away. 2015 is the last year for it. They'll still be illegal to actually use in Ohio (lol), but you won't have to sign the form anymore before using them anyway. 
It really is kind of dumb, but you know something? I hope the law never changes. It's Independence Day, and nothing makes me happier than breaking the damn law and thumbing my nose at the man, by lighting off some fireworks. The entire state of Ohio basically engages in MASSIVE civil disobedience every year, and I love it. LOVE IT. If they make it 100% legal, it'll take the fun out of it. |

Yes we can buy. We have to sign a form promising to remove the fireworks from the state within 48 hours. Non-Ohio residents get an extra day, 72 hours to get them over the border. We used to have to provide a destination address out of state where we were taking them, but that is no longer required. |

Lawd bebey jeezus yes!
In fact, my daughter is in the HS marching band and I am VP on the band booster board. We have a contract with a local fireworks warehouse during the 4th of July and New Years firework season. We supply all the volunteer staffing and they donate %10 of all sales to the band program. It works out great. We are all working double shifts on Friday and Saturday. The place will be cram packed inside with people buying shit that goes boom.

Every single type of fireworks is illegal in town except for those things you throw on the ground. Yet we have those trailers selling fireworks in town. Such irony.

Yes, but VA fireworks suck. Nothing that explodes, like firecrackers, and nothing that launches, like morters or bottle rockets.
So all we get are fountains and stuff. which can be fun. But not as fun. |

Illegal in Iowa for decades. Since the 30's at least. There was a fireworks accident long ago that damn near burned an entire town down, Spencer as I recall.
There's still a fair amount of fireworks around. Most come from Missouri. Police can be hit or miss on enforcing the law. I've never known anyone that got busted but I'm sure its happened. |

Like Ohio residents, I 'had' to sign the paper that they'd be taken out of state, but at the Dania Beach store, with its lines out the door, around the block and real cops working security detail, I don't think everybody was driving up to Georgia on holiday. They really don't seem to care. Their website doesn't have prices, but they have everything and some killer stuff. The good fireworks aren't cheap, however. Chris |
