Love them or hate them? Able to shoot them or banned in your area?

    LOVE THEM.. I've seen two displays in the past week :-) Can't wait!! They shoot them at all festivals, single A baseball games and fairs!

    I love them. My dog goes insane and starts barking and tries to chase them, it's funny to watch. Not banned.

    I love them. But I prefer the big fireworks shows. They were banned here until a few years ago.

    Love 'em. They sell fireworks here, but it's still illegal for regular citizens to shoot them off in the city (although that doesn't stop a lot of people). Not sure we'll get an official show this 4th of July as we haven't had any rain in way too long so fire danger is really high.

    I live in the mountains so fireworks on the 4th are frowned upon. But I love them on New Years Eve!

    Always pretty to watch but don't ask me to buy any. I have a talent for picking out the crappiest, duds of fireworks.

    Love, love, love....when done professionally. The big ones are banned here for individual use, unless of course, you're the po po.

    Love them! They are only banned in city limits but I live in a rural area so we can shoot them anytime around the 4th and New Years. I have to say though that I ALWAYS get injured...I think I am a flying firework magnet because it seems like there is always one that malfunctions and ends up flying and exploding on me. haha!

    I've always loved them, but since my surgery, I have trouble with the noise. Now I'll enjoy them with earplugs! They're banned here, that doesn't stop anyone. This is Wisconsin, dammit! We do what we want!

    I like em. =P I like to go see shows, and to gather with friends while THEY set them off. I'm always afraid I'll hurt myself, lol. They are not banned here, and we have had plenty of rain so I'm sure there will be a 'big show.' Our big shows are nothing TOO grand, but they are still nice. XD

    Love fireworks. Of course they are for sale everywhere here in Florida (unlike where I grew up in NY/NJ). When we lived in MYC we could watch the Macy's fireworks from the roof of our apartment building, so we'd have 4th of July parties every year. Now we watch them in St. Augustine from the Bridge of Lions over the Castillo de San Marcos.

    Love fireworks! We're only allowed the little ones that sit on the ground, you know like the "fountain" ones and stuff. If you want the ones that go boom up in da sky, you have to buy a permit and set them off in a designated area (i.e. not in your backyard). But the city does put on a glorious show on the 4th downtown, Red, White, and Boom. It's a big deal with all sorts of concerts and festivities throughout the day.

    The only thing I'm against are the screamers. Just obnoxious.

    Love them! Illegal here unless you sneak them in from PA across the NY border. And of course I've never done that. LOL
