Well they are in my state, in some states they're still legal, so instead of doing the dumb thing, and going out to the closest one right across state lines, the day before independence day, when the police are watching every close by fireworks stand, I get a friend from the state to go up with me, park the car at their house, then take their car, so if anyone is watching they get me, plus him, in a local car instead of a car with license plates from my state, which is what they looks for.
Then we go back to his house, load it up in the trunk and head home.
Heh, sneaky eh ?
Also the police look the other way when fireworks are set off on july 4th, since it's a national holiday and all, plus I'm friends with many of the local police, and my father works for a police department in another city, but he's well known in most of the state, if not by name, then by case.
