I've got about forty M-80's with one giant M-300 (size of a toilet paper roll).

Does INdiana sell the good stuff? M-80's etc?


I grew up in PA so all I got were some ok stuff from over the border in Ohio. im thinking of going to IN this time to see some friends so I thought I'd pick some stuff up at Krazy kaplans or whatever.

I generally blow about 600 bucks on fireworks around the fourth. Fun to put on a show for our party.

dozens of high powered repeaters, a few dozen mortars, some long lasting fountains, some ufos, 6 bricks of high powered whistling bottle rockets, a few 100 shot saturn batteries, two bricks firecrackers.

The fireworks store I go to has buy one get one free.

You go to blackjack or trader jacks right off of 1-94?

Said you were headed up to WI. The 2 pretty close to IL have buy 1 get one free. They're about 15 min from my house, so I usually pick up about $100 worth of stuff every year.

It's just a skinny tube that shoots out little flaming, different colored balls...

I am going to pick up some on the IL IN border omw down, does anyone know if waiting till the July 3rd is a horrible Idea? Will they be out of all the good stuff? Its not really worth driving an hour out of the way right now since its only a week away or so.

None, I am in an apartment and some stupid kid screwed us over here in MI. Can't they just ban the sell of fireworks to people with IQs lower than 100?
