Indiana Fireworks Law
OK heres the law, my concern is where it changes IC 22-11-14-8 to read:
Sec. 8. (a) A person shall not sell at retail, or offer for sale at retail, any consumer fireworks, novelties, or trick noisemakers to a person less than eighteen (18) years of age other than the following:
(1) Dipped sticks or wire sparklers. However, total pyrotechnic composition may not exceed one hundred (100) grams per item. Devices containing chlorate or perchlorate salts may not exceed five (5) grams in total composition per item.
(2) Cylindrical fountains.
(3) Cone fountains.
(4) Illuminating torches.
(5) Wheels.
(6) Ground spinners.
(7) Flitter sparklers.
(8) Snakes or glow worms.
(9) Smoke devices.
(10) Trick noisemakers, which include:
(A) Party poppers.
(B) Booby traps.
(C) Snappers.
(D) Trick matches.
(E) Cigarette loads.
(F) Auto burglar alarms.
The way that reads is someone under 18 can buy everything that used to be legal in Indiana (the changes seem to allow the stuff that was sold as "out of state" fireworks.
Any opinions?

Woot for posting by you! It figures it would take pyro to pull you out.... ;)
Anyhow...yeah, a minimum age on the fireworks thing would be a good idea. And, yeah, kids are going to be stupid. Even my brother, who is generally smart, did stupid stuff like playing chicken with cars. *eyeroll*
Peace.
Hey! They actually talked about this stuff on the channel 8 news...umm..I think that's CBS. I thought of you. :) It was on Tuesday, I think, when they talked about it. Just thought you should know. :)
Peace.
