Guns and fireworks

[Great-Kazoo]

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.
