    We were in Glendo Wyoming on Sunday night. They open up the mowed very dry field at the airport for anyone who wants to shoot fireworks. I would say about ever 45 seconds a fire in the grass would start and 5 seconds later 10 people would run out (between mortars and such) to stomp it out. Quite the experience for sure.

    Edit: just saw this and thought I would share!

    Was just on a picture website I surf with the title "Fireworks done right". When I did a image reverse search there were no articles associated with it.

    Ok, I'm pretty technical and Google savvy, but what is a image reverse search?

    Last night, probably a little before midnight, I very distinctly heard semiautomatic gunfire. It was definitely NOT fireworks. My fiance and I looked at each other and just went "wow". I'm glad it wasn't that close to me.

    I hope no one was hit or shot by any of the random (ish) gunfire last night. I saw the awesome fireworks show put on every year by Indian Hills Fire/Rescue. 2nd Year in a row and this year beat out last year. Of course up in the mountains (Baileyguns knows this well) it's a common sight (er audio) for gunfire to go off after a big fireworks show... But of course Jeffco Sheriff had more important things to do than go after punk kids- harass a couple guys I know for less than legally parking outside Golden.

    Gotta admit, it would have been fun to bump-fire a 30 rd. mag of tracers from the AR up into the air.

    Who doesn't enjoy blowing crap up at least once a year? I wish I had the time and money to go buy some fireworks from Wyo and light them off last night.

    Idk how to say this nicely so...quit complaining about the noise and such, at least ppl still sort of celebrate Independence Day. If it really bothers you sleep with ear plugs in, it only happens once a year.

    I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

    ...every night for 2 friggin weeks. Half of the idiots lighting shit off in my neighborhood are probably illegal aliens anyhow, looking for an excuse to get tanked up and blow shit up.
    Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
