    Fireworks are a HOT topic on Nextdoor right now. All I know is there are truckloads of them being purchased by people in my neighborhood. It’s going to be a loud and bright evening for he next 2days.

    The local news has been running stories for people to not call 911 to report fireworks.

    News story today is asking those that live in neighborhoods around the Douglas Co. STEM School to not light fireworks in the fear it may trigger PTSD in students that live in the area.

    The Ring neighborhood app has had people reporting "gunshots" for weeks now.

    Is it finally time for me to set up my backyard range? I have open space for a backstop.

    It's been fun trying to educate the n00bs about fireworks here in CO. If you hear "gunshots", and it's +/- 1 month of July, yeah, it's probably fireworks. If you had more range time, you'd also know the difference.

    I live in Westminster. We are allowed to shoot off the legal ones today and tomorrow. I think maybe even the 5th. We also have a larger list of ?legal fireworks? than most cities. Pretty much everything that is sold at a Colorado stand or store. Trust me, some of these are loud and some down right obnoxious. Took the kid to Old Glory off of federal and spent some $$$. Our culdesac has 2 dog residents and they both like fireworks. No vets. Younger couples who like fireworks. And beers. Going to be a fun few days/ nights.

    My neighbor was on the board in Thornton that got us this stupid "100% of fireworks are illegal and we're going to waste city funds on dumbass signs to tell everyone" business this year. He kept pestering me to be on the board, but I knew it was going to be a bunch of dumbshit old cat ladies and other whiners weaving a beautiful tapestry of potato decisions, so I passed. Sorry Thornton.
    All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.


    Anyway, as to the quoted post, that seems to be what they do in Nebraska. Blow off what you like for two-three days surrounding the Fourth with strict time limits, and they don't have the problem of people being obnoxious for a month on either side of the holiday.

    Try living next to Fort Cartoon. The house shakes on the high end of the Richter scale. The gunships are so loud passing overhead, you have to stop speaking. If you have PTSD don't move to Pueblo West, it is just like a war zone with coyotes howling. The cool part is you can usually find MRE's at any yard sale.

    Dude...

    It's Pueblow...

    It's not like a war zone... It IS a war zone. Pueblow is the only place we've had issues with padlocks being cut off of trailers during a stop for dinner, and not a long dinner.

    And I get to go to some sketchy shit holes...

    Friend who lives in Montana is trying to brag up how much freedom is out there all the time. Tonight he is bragging about big fireworks the night before the 4th. I laughed and told him that since they are totally illegal here, we get to hear them for a month before, and a month after the 4th. No joke in my neighborhood.
