I can throw a rock in any direction and hit one, seemingly. Something that causes fires and other injuries seems like an odd thing for them to sell.  Job security?  | ||

Novel concept, but I think it is great! I am sick to death of the government trying to put training wheels on everything. Fireworks is a bit of Americana. Come on, hold my beer and watch this, what can go wrong? Now, I am all for holding people responsible for their screwups, but for crying out loud give them a little freedom. | |||

Mixed feeling here.... AZ made them legal (no aerial stuff) a few years ago but only around the holidays. People seem to enjoy them and, in fact, I did a tent and made some quick money. Where I have the issue is that right now, a decent portion of our state is on fire *lots of small fires) and it seems crazy to keep selling fireworks when you already have a wildfire issue. | |||

The profit margin is Huge!! Hard to resist easy money. Only thing with a better return is probably gambling, and it seems the same type of people spend money that they don't have on it. | |||

Nah. Sell cookies door to door. They do sell beefcake calendars featuring local firefighters in some locales. They are a big seller at bachelorette parties. These guys work for free. Give me a break! | |||

I am on the board of a volunteer fire department. We just bought a new fire truck for $360,000. That equates to 3 years of income. Without a bit of extra income, we would be in trouble.
