NYE fireworks....

[missouridawg]

Who here lives in an area in which it’s ok to shoot fireworks in city limits on NYE? And what is your opinion on it?

Im kind of shocked how acceptable it is here in the ‘burbs if Houston. Every NYE, fireworks are going off non-stop from 8 PM to midnight. And it’s all individual residents shooting their own. There is no major show near where I live. I live right in the middle of a suburb of Houston where there are thousands of sleeping children and I can’t, for the life of me, understand why anyone else who lives in these parts thinks it’s acceptable to do this ****.

Now get off my lawn.

 

[MarkDallas]

Sheesh.

 

[MeridianDog]

We don't do fireworks in Clinton.

I usually just step outside and rip a mag or two up into the air from my AR at full automatic. Dang wife just came out behind me and emptied a full 100 shot rotary magazine with her Thompson 45. The barrel gets pretty warm when she does that and I tell her it will eventually affect the accuracy of her cat killer, but she doesn't care, with it being a holiday and all.

 

[JoMo MoJo]

My take on it is if tomorrow is a workday we don’t shoot them. Since most don’t work tomorrow we will rattle some windows tonight with mortars.

Our city(state) just allowed fireworks starting last 4th. Its allowed for 4th and NYE.
Fine and all, i guess. The absurd thing was how long the period lasts. Its something like 2 weeks surrpunding the 4th and 1 week surrounding NYE to shoot em off.

WT17?!?! Thats a stupidly long period to allow fireworks.

It lets some get their rocks off and helps everyone else to identify the idiots living near them.

-10 degree temps seem to have helped reduce the number of fireworks, at least so far.

 

[Dawg1976]

It's once a year...twice including the 4th of July. Not a big deal.

 

[hatfieldms]

It is two nights out of the year

i think you will be okay

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

I live in the Delta so shoot'em if you got'em 24/7/365 applies to more than just fireworks

 

[Maroon Eagle]

So *you’re* the one that the Clinton Facebook groups talk about...

 

[EngDawg]

Kim Jong Un would **** himself if he strolled trough my neighborhood on NYE.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Someone down the street from me just set their yard on fire with fireworks.

I don't know why it's sideways but whatever.


I'm cool with it on the actual day but when it's January 10th and shooting mortars in my neighborhood at 11 pm we are going to have problems.

Woodland or Van Vleet?

I lived in the Houston burbs (Cypress)

Until 2005. We used to shoot fireworks like you describe. Most all the neighbors participated and the young kids, mine included, were out there with us. Mos of the Houston burbs are "in the county" and not regulated. Hell, most Texas cities are low regulation. Texans hate regulation as a general rule.

 

[Shamoan]

You probably think it's cool to cruse in the left lane at 72 mph as well. "Thousands of sleeping children"...gtfo.

 

[mcdawg22]

Flying exploding fireworks are illegal in Florida, but the cops don't care. The Pensacola Cheif of Police, was even on tv saying we've been celebrating independence since 1776, I'm not going to stop someone from having fun as long as they clean up after themselves. We had a ton go off at midnight last night. The wife, daughter, and dog all slept through it. When I do them, I personally do them 30 minutes after dark because I know my neighbors well and I'm just being courteous to them, but if you shoot them at midnight I have no problem and honestly can't think of a time when my daughter was awoken by fireworks.

Man, I really feel for you. I don't think I could handle it. You know, the living in the suburbs of Houston part. It's like being one of those ticks around a deer's *******.

 

[olblue.sixpack]

Sheesh.

Some of these people are determined to turn this place into "The View".

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

Only time it ever bothered me was when my kids were babies and the fireworks would wake them up 15 minutes after we finally got them to sleep.

 

[Bulldog from Birth]

It should be ok 2 nights per year. NYE and Independence Day. Only on those 2 days though. Not July 5 not any other night around those days. And Independence Day fireworks should end by 10pm. I understand why NYE fireworks go off at midnight. But not Independence Day.

 

[RocketDawg]

Fireworks are illegal inside city limits here but I've never heard of it being enforced. It's supposedly a safety thing, and sometimes a fire hazard thing.

I think Real Talk Clinton has it out for me. I have no idea why. Run over one Canada Goose by the Mazzio's and Toba goes all to pieces. Sheeeesh. And the whole jumping into the CHS car line deal was an attempt to ruin my sterling reputation.

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

If you hate fireworks dont ever move to spring hill tn. Theyre serious about their fireworks!

Its not that I hate them, I’m just so thoroughly surprised at how many different households dropped a few hundred on them and shot them so consistently from 8 pm through midnight last night. It happens every NYE here, too.

2 kids under 4 screaming for a few hours can really up the pissed offedness too.

Didn't realize this place was turning into jeanspage

It happens everywhere. People shoot fireworks on New Years.

Im 35. I’ve never seen individual residents shoot fireworks on NYE in my entire life until I moved to the suburbs of Houston.

 

[RocketDawg]

Where are you from? Did they not have fireworks stands all over the place?

 

[missouridawg]

The bootheel area. Lots of rednecks, myself included. And we never shot fireworks on NYE. We’d shoot em all day on the 3rd and 4th in July, though.

 

[Wizard of bulldogery]

you are in the minority then.

 

[mcdawg22]

So you shot them all "day" on July 4th when most people have to work the next day but it's a complete disgrace for people to do it on NYE when most people have the day off the next day?

That's JeansPack to you bucko.

Yes, day. Not night. Never disturbed anyone who fell asleep after 7 PM. Keep reaching, though, champ.

Fireworks went from 8 PM to 12:30 AM here last night. In a crowded residential area. Quite the difference.

I thought the thread about dogs outside in the cold would be the dumbest argument thread of 2017. And then you snuck this one in at the last minute.

Not sure what we are arguing.. just seeing if this is normal or not, across other areas. It appears that my life path has put me in the dark on this topic.

[Wizard of bulldogery]

have you been outside of 3 mile radius of your current location? you can ride dirt roads in mississippi and be surrounded by fireworks on all 3 sides. same can be said about the burbs of pretty much any of the many cities i've spent a new years in.

I lived in the same house for 18 years as a kid. Multiple places in Starkville, but don’t ever remember spending New Years there. I’ve had five different homes on New Years in Houston, from Webster to Cypress. Until I moved into this home in Cypress in 2014, I’ve never experienced the individual residents side of the fireworks craze. A large show put on by the mayors office or city of Houston! Sure? But it sounds like a war zone in my neighborhood for about 5 hours on NYE every year. You can’t go one full minute without hearing a pop from 8 to just last midnight.

My senses on this have certainly heightened since I had kids.

Maybe we are getting down in the weeds a bit here, but my fireworks career as a kid consisted primarily of blowing **** up with black cats and shooting bottle rockets at my friends. We were never into the decorative fireworks displays.

Don't know what it's like around Memphis and up into the bootheel, but if you go the interstates through east Tennessee and the Carolinas, there are huge fireworks places at a lot of the exits. And most have funny names, like Crazy Eddies, etc. None of that in north Alabama, but there are multiple fireworks stands around, all of them outside but very close to the city limits. Some people spend a small fortune just to blow it up on the holidays.

Too bad. Artillery Shells make a hell of a grenade in a firework war.
