Default Fireworks!!!

Sorry, this is a little region specific.

I live in Kentucky. Fireworks laws here SUCK! (err I mean THEY PROTECT PEOPLE!! yeah)

So, I have been to Indiana and gotten some good stuff that is illegal here, I have opportunity to be in Tennessee tomorrow (a 20 mile detour).

Is it any better in Tennessee than Indiana? Is it worth an hour out of the way (total) to venture into Tennessee?

My neighborhood is insane for the 4th of july. Last year it was on a Tues or Weds, and people were lighting stuff til 2:30 in tha am. This year is on a Friday. I must take part!

If anyone knows, I appreciate it!

Tennessee fireworks rock!

If your area is in a drought, use the stuff that does not fly. We are dry as a bone here in Texas, so we'll be fireworks free on the fourth.

Nope, we go to Alabama to get ours. I don't know all the exact details...it's my friends who usually make the trip and have all the knowledge. I just set things on fire and get out of the way.

I have always been told that Tennesse was better than Indiana, but I got some pretty damn good ones in Indiana. (I tested one to be sure, lol)

Fortunately we have had a decent amount of rain here. Hope you get some soon. Droughts stress me out(probably because I am growing Hops and peppers!)

When I was little (8-9yo) we drove from chicago to orlando to see the big mouse. We stopped to eat and get gas in tennessee, even at a young age I remembered thinking there is something wrong about selling massive ammounts of fireworks at a 16 pump gas station...

I have gotton fireworks from both states when I was driving over the road. I was happy with both. If you find a shelton fireworks store, look for one called "The grand Finale" you wont be dissapointed trust me.

Yeah, there's plenty of stores along the interstate, but I guess my friends were looking to get "more bang for their buck" or something along those lines.

I was once in a tennesee store as a child, and they had a huge spool of fire crackers, the ones that go pow pow pow and go off rapidly one after the other. It was spooled up and supposedly when unrolled would stretch 1/2 a mile down the road, I would love to see something like that in action.

Yeah, I got a great deal in Indiana. I probably should just go back and buy the rest that they have.
