But seriously how sad is it to get hammered in front of your family and friends and end up blowing your head off in front of them. It’s a really tragic for everyone that watch it happen. A terrible waste of good pyrotechnics 🤯 Quote

I do a lot of fireworks at my house for the 4th, started going a bit over the top for Bills victories too, but always need to keep a controlled environment. I keep my fence gate locked so none of the kids can come in. Stay across the street. If a shell doesn’t light, toss it! Not worth the risk . Clamp down the tubes, don’t let them fall and point back towards a house. Make sure there are rocks or bricks to support repeaters, don’t need those tipping or breaking into pieces. 1 Quote

muppy Posted July 13 Posted July 13 as a side note pertaining to fireworks in the state of California there are counties wherein they are illegal. San Diego is one such county. But folks can travel to San Bernardino or Ventura and they are available. Fireworks to me are like guns. You better deal with them responsibly or not at all.. Quote

Best fireworks show I ever saw was in San Diego in 2012. There was supposed to be about a half hour long professional show with stuff shot off at typical intervals from several barges in the harbor. They apparently had a computer glitch that affected the timing, and everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, went off all at once. It was awesome. If I recall correctly, nobody got hurt. They should do it that way on purpose every year. 1 Quote

I don't think I'd have the stones to cut loose in a neighborhood with no margin for error. 1 Quote
