Vancouver WA PD, I am ashamed of you.

That sounds dumb and a waist of tax money but Indiana

Has another BRIGHT idea.
Illegal out of state fire works!
Here is how it works, You buy a license for several dollars and it allows you to purchase illegal fireworks in the State of Indiana (firecrackers and large bottle rockets) as long as you sign a paper saying that you "WILL" shoot them off, outside the state of Indiana.
Yes the term they use is ILLEGAL fireworks.
One catch, you have to show a driver license, does that mean that it has to be from some other state other than Indiana to prove you will be shooting them out side the state of Indiana.
NOOOO!
Just any old license to prove you’re over 21.
Welcome to Indiana.
 
I think a fundamental difference between fireworks and firearms is their ability to be controlled.

Anybody remember Cooper's Rule #3(I think it was #3)-"Be sure of your backstop"? Hard to do with a bottle rocket, and the brain surgeon who set the Roman candle off right over my car as I drove by didn't seem to get it, either.

I don't mind you shooting off whatever, if you only blow up/burn/singe your own land/possessions/fingers. But all the stuff hitting my house, my lawn and my cars seems like an intrusion onto MY freedom to 'quietly enjoy' my property. And while society (and intelligent people) won't tolerate someone discharging a firearm recklessly, they seem to tolerate people using amateur explosives recklessly for about two weeks a year.

Pretty tough to know a "backstop" with a hurtling automobile or private aircraft also, dude. The possibilities for control are simply delicious!

Anyone here own a motorcycle, ski-mobile, ATV or mini-bike?
Step right up. You're next. Plenty of rules left unwritten yet.

"Honey, those kids are playing Stickball again. Isn't there a law? They're not even being supervised!!!!!"

"Loud 4th of July barbecue next door, sweetcakes. I'm trying to read Ann Landers. What about MY quiet enjoyment?"
"No problem honey bunch. Dial 911. We have noise ordinances for that, Thank God."

"Fat, smelly people at the Burger King, BabyCakes. They've ruined my appetite. I can't stand to look. Is there a law yet?"

"People owning guns next store, Muffin. You know what'll follow. Dial 911 and turn 'em in. I think there's a reward."

:rolleyes:
