Go back to sleep, folks; there's nothing to see here...

You know it!

I feel for the police and fire depts this week........they are going to hear ALL sorts of excuses.  Even the ER, get all the idiots who find a way to blow themselves up every fourth and go to the ER to get fixed.

Not sure what you mean?

  Did he say that if he had fireworks he was going to use them.  Or that what I thought he said.  Right?   

[Palehorse]

they cannot ban the sell, but those caught lighting fireworks on their own property could be charged with a misdemeanor....they have the authority to protect the public's safety.

It is going to be a long week for firefighters and local police.

Wrong! They cannot ban the sale or use of fireworks - period! Check it out if u don't believe me. I am correct. And there are several Indiana communities about to be taken to court over it if these bans on fireworks stay in place between June 29 and July 9. By the all mighty fireworks association in Indiana, who bought and paid for that legislative law.

Those of you planning on attending our annual 4th of July celebration; there will be NO fireworks this year. Due to the incredibly dry conditions right now, my wife and I are unwilling to put any of our neighbors at risk for an unintended fire. Madison County is currently under a county-wide burn ban, and while state law does not allow specific banning of fireworks during the July 4th time-frame, we intend to respect the ban out of an abundance of caution. Maybe next year. . .

Is exactly what I said.

We are going to see about this one....there are also laws for  "emergency disaster declaration" that many counties are going to be use, IF there is no rain by the end of the month...this is according to the State Fire Marshal, Jim Greeson...I heard him this morning talking about this very issue. 

Once agian, ignorant laws supersede common sense....I'm not trying to call you out, but I know what I heard, so becareful using the word "period".  I hope this DOES go to court, and ignorance gets its ass kicked.  There has got to be exceptions to such rules for the safety of people.

If only more people had this kind of respect, there would be no worry about inducing any bans.  But, unfortunatly, too many ignorant people out there will end up starting a fire, and people WILL be hurt this year....due to an ignorant law.

  Ain't he sweet Horse, he sure is good at buttering someone up.      Just think how good he is at it with his boss.

It's not just me saying it. . .


Faced with what could be the driest June in history — and the potential for significant fire danger — officials in a growing number of Indiana counties have temporarily banned the use of fireworks.

But if they continue to do so, they could end up running afoul of a state law that, in essence, prohibits fireworks bans around the Fourth of July.

They might also soon find themselves in court facing a legal challenge from the group that pushed that law — the state's powerful fireworks lobby.

Amid pressure from Indiana's commercial fireworks dealers, state lawmakers in 2006 approved a law making it legal for Hoosiers to shoot off fireworks from June 29 to July 9, even in areas under open burn bans, like the ones currently issued by more than two-thirds of the state's counties.

This summer, at least 10 Indiana counties also have explicitly banned fireworks until further notice. The trickier decision, though, is whether to extend those restrictions past Friday and, thus, into the time period protected by law.

None of the counties has tried to stop dealers from selling fireworks or people from purchasing them. The bans, though, make it against the law to set them off.

Indiana State Fire Marshal Jim Greeson said some counties have issued their fireworks bans in conjunction with emergency drought disaster declarations. Such a declaration, officials hope, will override the state fireworks laws.

Greeson said no one has yet challenged one of the local bans in court.

That might change.

John Brooke, the Muncie-based general counsel of the Indiana Fireworks Dealers Association, said the trade group is considering asking a judge for an injunction that would halt the ban.

"My position is the counties are overstepping their bounds," Brooke said. "I believe some of them know that, but they're willing to go for it anyway."

I'n not saying it is just you.  I'm just saying what the State Fire Marshal said.

I'm just thankful the idiot kids in the neighborhood, well the idiot parents and the idiot kids, aren't shooting off fireworks like they normally do.  We'll see this weekend what happens though.

Don't worry. They're just waiting for Friday when the "ban" itself becomes illegal. Then in true Madison County fashion the residents will demonstrate their ignorance, in the guise of patriotism, and begin setting fires via their use of pyrotechnics.

Welcome to Hell! 

Then, also in true Madison County fashion, the city of Anderson will begin arresting the population and spending money it does not have to prosecute violators of their own violation of the law.
