Guns and fireworks

What % that let off fireworks for the 4th are true 2A supporters?

I can't speak for the rest but I like to do a couple sparklers from time to time. [emoji6]

I'm a pyro at heart and Independence Day is my favorite holiday so when I can I like to light a few mortars.......I mean a party popper's off.

I like beer and lighting stuff on fire

I may or may not have some stuff that shouldn't be lit in a residential area [Awesom]

One year the Thornton PD came by ( a friends) and asked them to Please Stop lighting fireworks . It was taking away from the city's show.

Another year we "observed" someone using what appeared to be rather large cylindrical objects and primitive ignition systems. The Littleton PD rolled in. They saw the flash (daytime mind you) across broadway. 3 blocks over. They thought someones furnace blew up.

Living in Arapahoe Cty we'd do displays, starting @ 5-6 for the kids ;) and closing down around 10. All the neighbors in the area were kind enough to leave their garden hoses out front & hooked up. Average outlay was the $500 range, with the neighbors kicking in.


Now, the town we reside in...............$500 fine. No if's and or buts. However it's only a $300 fine for discharging a firearm in city limits. Go Figure.

Making ~6" mortar shells doesn't look too difficult. Just so happens, if you bury one of those round cans originally designated for a 155mm powder charge, it seems to be about the right size.

Otherwise, we set off tannerite. Night time be damned.

There may, or may not be, some things happening over Parker on the night of the 3rd.

... I am still not happy with celebrating the big party on the 3rd (big feast with lots of people and dead animals), but I was overruled by the wife.

I remember one New Year's Eve party back home while fireworks and firecrackers were banned. The party was being hosted by one of my mother's high school friends and featured quite a spectacular show of aerials being launched over the water. Someone asked if they were worried about the police coming in to bust them for the illegal display -- the host shrugged his shoulders and pointed off to the side saying, "ask XXXXXX". XXXXX was chief of police at the time. [Coffee] Funny enough, we didn't have any problems with unexpected visitors that night.

I would love to fly my quadcopter into a fireworks display (within reason)
