RE: Fourth of July journaling from the east coast!
Happy independence Day! A good read about your feelings and the day. They finally legalized the purchase of fireworks here in IOWA. I guess Iowa is slower than the rest of the USA LOL Thanks for your post.
Wait a minute so you are telling me you have only now just been allowed to legally buy fireworks in Iowa but you can walk into a Walmart and purchase a firearm? Wow things are weird in the States.
That is true. For years we have had to go to Missouri to buy fireworks and shoot them in Iowa. This year we can legally buy them in Iowa.. Please note they are still much cheaper in Missouri. LOL
So you are allowed to set them off, just not buy them? What if you get caught smuggling them across state lines? Do they throw you in prison? 😜
It is legal this year to buy them in Iowa only during certain dates and times. In past years everyone bought them in Missouri and smuggled them into Iowa. I have not heard of going to prison, however you may need to apply for a licence to legally use them.
You're in Iowa, @enjoywithtroy? We're neighbors [kinda]. In Minnesota, every one goes over the border and buys them in Wisconsin :P
So many folks are surprised that buying fireworks require crossing state lines. As if we are going to get in trouble for that. That has been our norm for years. My cousin lives in Burnsville and once had an aunt and uncle in Apple Valley. Been through Fairmont and rochester many times. Blessings - Troy
