I’m sure many of you have heard fireworks going off all over town the last several days; sure, it can be fun to watch, but it sure is damn noisy. I confronted a teenager the other night at 10:30 pm and asked him to stop, explaining that people had to get up to go to work early in the morning. His response: “It’s legal two weeks before and two weeks after the 4th of July - state law!” I begged to differ, and asked him if he would prefer to have the police explain the laws to him. He snorted, but as I dialed the police on my cell phone, he promptly stopped lighting the fireworks. So, since you asked, here is the rule:
Though you can BUY fireworks now, a city ordinance makes it illegal to set them off in the city until Thursday. Fireworks may be used from June 30th to July 4th at midnight.
