I dislike California

[xrancid_milkx]

I'm so angry right now. My cousin just ran out of firecrackers that he brought from Florida with him. So we looked into getting some more. I found a website that sells 16,000 black cat fire crackers for $110.00! I know I would never need that many but thats just plain awesome. But when I checked out the shipping info, I found out its illegal to ship to California. I mean I knew it was illegal to buy them in california but not ship to. Its just one more fun thing that has been banned in california. *sigh*

I think it's also a misdemeanor for possession of illegal fireworks.

[RetroEclipseMan]

I'm suprised that you can actually ship fireworks through the mail since I'm sure they're considered an explosive.

In the town next to me they're legal...

I looked in the Internet and found some info about firecrackers and fireworks. Here's the link. Under the Fireworks Provisions in the California Health and Safety Code, fireworks are excluded from the explosives law. Large firecracker items such as M-80, M-100, M-1000, Silver Salute, Brown Bomber, 1/4 stick, 1/2 stick, full stick, etc., are considered explosives. Not legal anywhere in the U.S. The term "Firecracker" means a device consisting of an explosive pyrotechnic in an amount not to exceed 50 milligrams (.772 grains) in weight in a fused contaner whose primary function is to produce an audible effect. All firecrackers are classified as "dangerous fireworks." Devices similar to construction to "firecracker" which exceed the specified weight shall be cansidered as EXPLOSIVES in accordance with Health and Safety Code 1200, et seq. The following are violations of the California H&S codes for "Dangerous Fireworks":

12676 - Sell, transfer, give or otherwise convey title of Dangerous fireworks unless receiver has a permit.
12677 - Possess Dangerous fireworks without a permit.
12680 - Place, throw, ignite, or discharge Dangerous fireworks at a person or crowd where injury can occur.
12689a - Sell, give, or deliver Dangerous fireworks to anyone under 18.

Looks like that firecrackers are legal with a legal permit.

California diskiles you too.

Lol - I thought this was going to be another Iraq thread.

I feel your pain, though. NC prohibits the shipment of wine into the state. I imagine it's done to protect the in-state wine growers, which - as a rule - make very mediocre wine. So if you're out in Napa and find a nice chardonnay you like, you can't ship it back home. If you like the taste of a nice Aussie shiraz and find your favorite vintage online, you're out of luck if you want to buy a case to enjoy at home. Nazis...

Not to mention that it posses a serious fire hazard ... given SoCal's typical dry seasons ...

There were times it was so dry we couldnt even fire tracers rounds for fear of setting the range on fire LOL ...
