loved them as a kid. No restrictions on cherry bombs and M80's back then. These days and with dogs that don't like them, I hate to see "fireworks" holidays roll around.

Also as a younger kid, and at the drive-in one 4th, I wasn't allowed out of the car alone, but witnessed a cherry bomb or M80 tossed at the feet of a teenager that was just walking around. Blew a rock into the teens eye. He covered his eye with a hand as he knelt to the ground. Turned out he lost sight in that eye. Then I knew Ray as an adult. We worked for the same company but in different divisions. I never asked him about nor talked with him about the incident. He had a glass eye. Looked pretty normal most of the time considering.

Fireworks now are nothing like when I was a kid in TN. Michigan recently decided to make aerial fireworks legal and the mortars are like cannons. The power in them seems to rival professional fireworks.

This is 'Merica. Big Grin

The only place in the world where you can get drunk as Lords and set off high explosives while listening to a guy called Kid Rock.

Well, I don't WANT to do that... but I COULD if I wanted to.

I gotta wonder what the people in the E.r.'s are saying about this.

Already 7 news stories about people blowing parts of themselves off.

but it does generate a bunch of money


Like my BIL the paramedic says "stupid people are job security for us".

Banned in Massachusetts

Legal in NH

MA State police used to sit in parking lots in unmarked cars, at the stores just over the border and call in MA plates to be stopped once they cross back into MA.

The government protecting us from ourselves Confused
