I live in wildfire country so it's not allowed. Beyond that, once I reached drinking age I decided that I'd rather spend my money on alcohol and other party favors rather than setting my money on fire. I haven't bought fireworks since I was a teenager and just watched other people blow shit up.
Anymore for the 4th, we'll go camping somewhere and get away from people. I'm a patriotic guy, but hate that the 4th got co-opted by bad country music and people being trashy.
