WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Well, I will be making a trip up to Beloit some time this weekend to get some fireworks. I will probably only spend about $50. I was just wondering if anybody has gotten caught using fireworks, and what are the fines?I have bought them a couple of times, and have never gotten caught. I'm sure I won't get caught, but you never know. I thought they just confiscated them and maybe a small fine, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went to Texas and they have big warehouses loaded with fireworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 We used to buy a "kit" off a kid whose dad was a cop. I guess the business model was: Confiscate illegal contraband from a lawbreaker, give said items to son, pad bank account illegally. Gotta love Chicago.

Buehrle>Wood Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I'll be in Minnesota for the 4th. Wonder if they allow big fireworks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 My parents never let me near fireworks when I was a kid. Never felt that I was missing out. I like the fireworks on the South Side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several places in Wisconsin. Apparently it's legal to sell them, but not use them. :headshake Anyways, they make you buy like a $4 permit to transport them, and several of the places have buy-one-get-one free deals.

A couple of years, I just remember cops perching around this big fireworks stand just over the Indiana border, checking trunks of people heading into Illinois who were leaving that stand. I would never go to the first fireworks stand over the border for that reason. My brother and I would usually hit a stand somewhere along US 30 coming home from the relatives in Fort Wayne, and no one ever stopped us to ask what was in our trunk.
