Here they are illegal, however, you can go to any of the stores that sell fireworks, sign a release stating that they are for agicultural purposes and that you are using them to scare off birds and you can buy whatever you want. There is also no policing them either. I live on East Lake Tohopekaliga and the city does a big event each year basically on the lake front and people spill onto our back lawns. The police are walking around while people set off fireworks in our yards. I have had my pool enclosure hit and holes burnt into it and one go off in my garage right next to the gas cans and the police do nothing so it gets aggevating. This year I am going to sit out back with a hose with a pressure nozzle and blast the idiots with it.
