Zero reason to do them tomorrow night when some of us wanna sleep.
Get the fireworks out of your system tonight please
- Thread starter KY2LA
- Start date
Take a nap tomorrow. You’ll be fine
Smoke bombs, sparklers, snakes… all that’s good any night. Leave the loud explosive **** for the 4th. Only sinners and ******** shoot off other nights.
Fireworks trigger PTSD in soy boys and cause global warming. If you fire off one John Kerry is going to be mad. Al Gore too.
I’m currently up with a baby and a toddler because my Ahole neighbor decided 1040 pm is a great time for a thunder over louisville type firework display, and it’s not even the freaking 4th. Lord knows I’ve done my part to celebrate the 4th in my life, but I was never such an *** to shoot them off so late. I was also never such an *** to celebrate the 4th on the wrong damn day.
Had a neighbor once go shooting off fireworks at 11pm Christmas Eve.
He didn’t see the next Christmas. I didn’t have anything to do with it*

I don't do fireworks anymore, but it was getting so loud (sounded like they were setting off huge mortars in MY backyard) that I decided to try and out do them.
I got out my Single Action revolver and loaded it with .22 WMR (magnum) with SIXTY grain loads, and let fly into a 5/8th's steel target I have in the backyard (perfectly safe, It's in front of more than enough backstop)
I know you hear .22 and think "yawn" but this is a cheap single-action revolver (don't get me wrong, I love it, it's big fun) and is loud as **** with just .22LR's in it.
I had purchased this box of cartridges when I picked the gun up at Bud's but never fired any of them. In fact, I'd never fired a .22 magnum round in my life, just the shorts and LR, much less a hopped up version of one.
An ENOURMOUS flame blasted out of the barrel, and all I could hear was intense ringing in my ears. Like I said, this is not the best made gun so it runs loud anyway, but this was absurd LOL.
So I went in, got some hearing protection, and proceeded to put 17 more rounds into the target.
When I removed the headphones, I heard somebody (a female voice from the general area of the street behind me) cussing a blue streak. A lot of WiTF's and "that's over the top" which is silly, because it sounded like the Tet Offensive BEFORE I even joined in. LOL
( I have no problem with the fireworks. They give my dogs a stroke, but that's life, they'll get over it. As long as they don't go much past 10:00 if it's a work night, knock yourself out)

I have a Ruger Single 6 with both mags, and love it!
Bought it at age 15 at dealer cost, like 89 bucks, in 1978!
Quit being a quivering poosay, imo.
I'm also tired of people bitching about fireworks because it gives their dog(s) anxiety. Maybe if people treated their dogs like dogs instead of children, those dogs would quit being as big a bitches as their owners.

I love fireworks and even enjoy the noise. Fireworks put me to sleep last night. Down here we have plenty of them.
Fireworks are great. I remember a couple years ago when some people were shooting them off every night from 9:30 to 2 every night for 2 months. It truly changed my life.
Hope the idiot who was setting them off at 4:15 this morning blew his dick off.
So glad we moved from a downtown area to a suburban subdivision. Fireworks ending at 10pm is significantly better than 4am.
Fireworks are one of the things that dads like as much as their kids. I am thankful that my dog does not care.
They went off here until after midnight CST last night and expect a repeat tonight and periodically to 10-11pm CST all through next weekend (later on the weekend). They do not really bother me much and my son enjoyed our neighbor setting them off for 30 minutes straight in our cul-de-sac last night.
The guy does this every year, and he spends hundreds on this (like 400-500 easily), and I spend $0.00 to enjoy the show. That is how I like it.

Yea lemme get up off my bad recliner that’s about busted so it takes more effort than it should just so I can waddle my fatass into the kitchen and pull out the drawer of assorted random ****, dig through and find not just one but TWO ear plugs to put in my ears and waddle back to my *** groove in the seat all in the span of one commercial break just because someone else is an inconsiderate degenerate piece of **** that should suck start the barrel of a shotgun.
I don't hate fireworks, but I don't love them either. When used responsibly and not for weeks on end, they're fine. However, live in a place where they're set off for hours for literally weeks and you have to worry about some hilljack setting your house on fire, they can get tiresome real quick.

(You're awesome but quit being a c***, imo. It has been a rough two years -- who cares if people enjoy themselves in a slightly irritating manner. This isn't like your kids going to Drag Queen Story Hour at the local library or whatever. Live a little.)
I figured. Better than paying for it.
I don't think I would feel any better about eating **** for free than I would paying for it.
My brother in law spent 4K this year on fireworks - theirs get so loud it sets off car alarms
As a young boy I'd save up my grass cutting money to buy fireworks (early 70s). Dad would drive out of his way from our yearly Florida vacation just so I could splurge in Tennessee. Love the man!

Rednecks and shiny, loud **** are quite the pair.
I outgrew fireworks around age 15, but glad my neighbors had a good time. Not a single sleeve to be found on any of those shirts. Several wicks lit with cigarettes. They were still going strong at 1 am. I just drowned them out with white noise and a louder TV.
Old man in me thought about calling the cops. Then, I remembered I was an inconsiderate POS in my younger days as well and let it slide.

As someone who’s had mortar rounds launched at them for 9 months straight before, not a fan when I’m not expecting them. At night during the week before/after the 4th I’m good with them…just don’t set them off in the middle of the f*cking day as well.
