    Still haven't seen one answer to the OP's question.

    Just a bunch of dick waving.

    To answer the OP's original question, I would guess that it's a very small percentage....kind of like how so many people will go out and celebrate Memorial Day without giving any thought whatsoever to the history/purpose behind it...just an excuse to take off work....

    I'm guessing this guy isn't celebrating?

    I don't think the OP's question can be answered. So, might as well engage in some dick waving. Or, reminiscing.

    Practiced my 2A activities on Friday. Salida has a great range. Letting the town taken care of the fireworks end.

    Up here, probably fewer 2A supporters than five years ago. Most will be stoned on "legal" drugs or tripping on "illegals".

    I knew a guy, cut the top off a tall beer can, double charge black powder rifle and set can on the end of the muzzle. BOOM! Took forever to see that can again, and it was obviously wide open. That was his normal 4th of july.

    Bottle rocket wars. I have a great scar on my knee from such an event. 22 stitches if I remember right. We were crawling around a vacant lot in the weeds to sneak up on the enemy. Cut my knee on an old car hubcap hidden in the grass.

    Our neighborhood has a lot of vets with PTSD. My neighbor across the street is a Khe Sanh vet, and as it gets closer to the 4th, he looks more and more haggard because of the idiots that are setting off very LOUD fireworks, right in people's back yards. Our yards are smaller than 1/4 acre, and there's always debris from the noisy things. I'm very glad it's been so wet this year, because previous years have had small grass fires stat from people's carelessness.

    That's not even taking the pets into consideration, either.

    I remember it being different when growing up- but we always went with a whole group of neighborhood kids and adults down to the gravel pit and set things off.

    I'm torn. Yay, Independance Day! But my heart goes out to the people suffering from PTSD. :/

    I was just going to post that there is a lady on my Nextdoor site complaining about her skittish dog and husband with PTSD.
