I just heard today on the news that there are no fireworks allowed to be sold or fired off in Vancouver, WA - none. No sparklers, nothing.
Are that many people in Vancouver actually okay with that? Or have the local politicians gone completely insane?
And here I thought Oregon was bad. Way to shut down yet another piece of Americana, Vancouver. Well done
They were banned here decade or so ago. It's like some kind of joke. Sounds like a war zone here for days before and after. 911 dispatchers are not laughing though. The lines MELT down with nanny's all calling 911 at the same time. LEO's do always have a couple units drive around and "confiscate" them. You have to be pretty dumb to get caught. Some will drive to Reservation, literally fill the back of a truck and of course get pulled over, then cry. Or set up in the front yard doing a semi-professional display. when Cops roll up they have it all sitting there, and they cry. Us? We buy some. Wife loves them. We go out, with water at ready, set off some while keeping eye out. If LEO drives by we are doing nothing. The problem here is like with so many things. A few MORONS get hurt and cause fires. So they try to pass laws to protect everyone from the 1% who are idiots to protect us all from the idiots.
