I thought you could buy big huge m100 firecrackers etc? or whatever they're called lol

Glad you liked the video :)


No We can't leaglely. M80's cherry b**bs M1000's all outlawed in I think 1966 and they had untill 1972 mto get rid of if I remember the dates right. I sold fireworks for 8 years to the public in the 90's and people still came up every year asking for them. You can still find them bootleg but you don't want to get cought with one. I never sold them as I couldn't see getting cought with them saleing them and then paying a lawyer, court cost and still going to jail for a few years just to make a few hundred bucks. No if I ever go to jail it will haft to be for millions of dollars. Don't think I will be in any hurry to try that though!

In Topic: What was available in your firework stockist long ago?

:( I would surely miss jumping jacks and spinners if the were outlawed here in the States. Here they are amoung the cheapest fireworks you can buy, but with all the color they put out in them they are well worth the money! :D Some bang, and we have what we call jumping snakes that smoke, explode, and have color while jumping all around. When I was a kid the firecrackers really could hurt you if you let one go off in your hand. I can remember when they outlawed M 80' and Cherry b**bs. They came out with a firework that the predates the snappers that little kids play with now. They were about the size of Trix cereal and brightly color round balls. Someone put them in Trix cereal and some small child lost some teeth :o . They were on the stands less than a week befour being withdrawed. Good thing! :blush: I sure miss some of the fireworks I played with as a child in the early 60's
