I can't remember where, probably PA, but around 20 years (maybe a bit more), there was a state where you could buy fireworks in stands by the border, but you had to have an out of state DL.  Or something like that.  The details are a little froggy, but they were happy to sell them, as long as you took them away.

Might have been that place right on the NC/SC line?

There were (maybe still are) a few of those places at the NC/SC line on I-95....  South of the Border was the name of one of them...

That's the place I was thinking of, I'm just not sure if it was one of the places that only sold fireworks "for export".

It's funny how the older memories get cloudy the younger I get.

But seriously, I'll probably attend the local demolition derby (or maybe the rodeo, not sure), watch some fireworks, kick back and enjoy the holiday.

(Though I didn't notice it and didn't vote for it, I might watch the hot dog contest too. 'Murica.)

Most of the ordinances against fireworks are city ordinances here (not to be confused with ordnance, such as firepower, and fireworks).
@thackney is in an unincorporated part of his county.
We live in the city limits of Sugar Land, where it is illegal to shoot them off.
Driving back and forth to work in Katy each day, I pass a few fireworks stands that are in unincorporated county areas.
I can buy them, I just can't light 'em off at home.
I can guarantee that won't stop a lot of our town-folk.

As always, we are getting together at the big house for the festivities...
My brother and his have already landed...
My sister and hers won't be here till the day of.

Burgers, hot dogs, and this year, via my sister, genuine Portabellos ribs, straight from Chicago... Might even still be hot. Tater salad, all kinds of sides, watermelon, and the whole nine yards.

And fireworks after dark. We're the biggest show on the west side of the valley.

I'm bringing crab salad, chili, corn bread, and a dirt cake for the kids.
Gonna be a high old time, as always - The best wingding we throw all year...
But I have to be home before the fireworks actually start, because Chewy will lose his mind.

The beer is courtesy of the Castle private bar.  Maybe some Canadian Whiskey to wash it down, eh?


Why not some fine Virginia bourbon instead?

Reminds me of The Salt Lick, the only restaurant I can remember that lets you BYOB (dry county).

I can shoot off just about anything... But some things we cannot buy... Like M80s...
But I can get them down on the rez.

Hayes is no longer a dry county (it was really the precinct that Driftwood is in, not the whole county).  Enough furriners moved in and voted the dry part out.

We purchase and set off fireworks for the benefit of agricultural operations to scare off birds and other pest animals.  :whistle:

We're visiting some good conservative friends who have people over every year for the 4th. We'll just sit around and eat. I still need to do a fruit plate. Watermelon, strawberries and blueberries are chilling as we speak.
