North Carolina Says Keep Fireworks In South Carolina
A person does not have to put flame to fuse to break state fireworks laws.
North Carolina laws regulating fireworks center on possession, said Onslow County Fire Marshal Don Decker.
“It is not necessary to be caught using illegal fireworks to be charged with having them,” he said. “If you go to South Carolina and purchase fireworks that are illegal here and come across the state lines with them, you have broken the law.”
Why are fireworks illegal in North Carolina in the first place? Oh, that’s right, I forgot. The government has to protect you from yourself because you’re too stupid to do it on your own. Duh!
Another reason I live in South Carolina.
Does anyone else find it ironic that on the day we set aside to celebrate freedom, these clowns are out there telling us we can’t have fireworks?
