Hi Nevada neighbors.



I hope this is an okay question to ask.



I'll be driving through part of Nevada returning from a visit to Yosemite. I'm looking to get some fireworks for personal use and am not sure of what's available, legal, where to go, or what restrictions or stings to be aware of. I'm aware of merchants in Pahrump, but have also heard the reservations on the river are a good place.



I know you can't get cherry bomb anymore, right?



Don't want to get this thread locked.



Thanks in advance for any info.

Indian reservations and Nye county are legal to buy.

Possession in other places is an entirely different game though.

If you're going to be in Clark County, ya can't have em. If you buy them on the reservation, you have to launch them there. If you get stopped outside of the reservation in CC, it's a crime.

"Cherry bombs" and "M-80's" contain far more powder than federal law allows, so they are illegal in every state.



I'm not sure if Indian reservations have to follow this law, however.

During the off season nobody is looking for people with fire works, just use common sense while transporting fireworks.  I am amazed every year at the numbers of fireworks gong off in this town and I love every bit of it.  Yea, there are one or two injuries and maybe a fire or two but overall everyone stays safe.

Do not modify fireworks, we had one guy that did that this year and it went off kind of like a more powerful explosion.  I never heard what had happened but I know he died.

Stay safe out there.

There's also tannerite.

If you can launch tannerite 500', then make it explode with pretty colors, I might be interested.

Thanks to all





Next year, I think AZ is allowing sparklers and snakes. We can open and concealed carry, but we can't have fireworks.



Go figure.

So why do they sell fireworks at the street corners on and before July 4th if they are illegal? Just curious...

Hmmm?



In Arizona? I've never seen or heard of fireworks stands here. But I'm up near Prescott where they're absolutely forbidden.



Will check with my HTF. The pyromaniacs three will know.

The two I can think of off the top of my head is the Avi Casino in Fort Mohave AZ (kind of across the river from Laughlin) - BIG fireworks store inside the gas station.

There's also one (or was) in Schurz (between Fallon and Hawthorne).

Both are on tribal lands.

There's that huge store on the reservation North on the way out of Vegas.


I love fireworks, but I wish I didn't have to pick up my neighbors 50 bottle rocket casings from my backyard the next day.
