So I almost ended up in jail, probably not state either.

no offense, but you brought that on yourself for setting something off at 10pm, especially if you knew beforehand that your neighbor is a b!tch

good thing you live in texas and had the good ole boy network to back you up

if you had been in a "blue" state, you would already be gettin' a poundin' from bubba

Hello Gitmo, thank you John Ashcroft.

Why would you launch fireworks if it was illegal in your state and you knew people would hear them?

had a similar trouble on th 3rd lighting fireworks off....mostly 2" shells....kinda makes noise....

EDIT: Female cop came right after finished cleaning up all the fireworks...perfect timining

Umm... who has chemicals, etc, to make fireworks with? thats freaky

Well just to keep from completely dropping off the face of the world or atleast this post,
I had a lot of fireworks making chemicals, which to an untrained eye would have looked like they could be used for other things, and the only training along that line that the officers wouild have had would be bomb detection and construction.
Both the fire marshall and the bombsquad had already been called and were on standby if they had decided to do something.
The fireworks are now gone and the chemicals in the process of being disposed of.
Also, I am being pushed to volunteer for the local fire department, which would get me in with setting off the city fireworks, both of which could be interesting.
The worst part of this all is the fact that living in a small town, I will probably start seeing cops circling the block about every hour or so, and the fact that I lost somewhere between $800-1000 worth of fireworks and chemicals, but that is still a lot better then having to deal with the possible alternative.

almost doesn't count.

thing is, fireworks are bombs...inciendary device that well, basically explodes. Sure, we use it for amusement but technically, it is a bomb and ur making bombs.

Thats basically what one officer kept trying to get me to admit too.
Lots of questions like surely you know how to make bombs, I know you have made them since you have all this stuff. You just call them firecrackers right? and other various questions along that line.

I'd hate to answer those questions.

"Uh, well I'm a physicist. I can make bombs, and I can make things that make bombs look amateurish. The only thing preventing me from building a nuclear warhead, other than the fact that I have no desire to, is that process of getting fissionable material from the Americium in old smoke detectors is rather slow, and requires an expensive centrifuge."
