[quote=Anonymous]I don't think modern day laws restricting the use of flammable objects and explosives has anything to do with a quaint Chicago tale from long ago. In some urban areas with high crime, it is hard to distinguish fireworks from gunshots so police get fewer or erroneous reports of gunfire. There are obvious safety issues with setting off explosives in highly populated areas. People used to fire their rifles into the air too long ago but these is nowadays seen as a safety issue.In some climates with dry conditions, the sparks create a real danger for fires to start. I think fireworks are pretty and have always enjoyed them but I'm not dumb enough to set them off myself. I would prefer that police and ER resources not be diverted to the "Darwin" group that thinks fireworks are toys. [/quote]
