Until only a few years ago Ohio fireworks purchasers had to sign the "I won't use them in Ohio" form. That's gone now but there is still the local option to ban their use.You know what's funny... fireworks were illegal to use in Ohio back then, yet you could buy them there. I think the store was in Lima, perhaps?
Remember years back here when you could buy fireworks in Indiana as long as you signed a paper saying you wouldn't use them here?
Then they legalized them, as the loophole was pretty stupid.
I read somewhere that since the legalization in Indiana, fireworks related injuries went down.
No one listens anyway and July 4th in Ohio is wall-to-wall fireworks. If it's not too dry one neighbor sets off the equivalent of a small town fireworks display over his fields. Exploding rockets and sky high missiles. Most towns also have a display if not too dry and with the flat ground you can see them for miles.I also think injuries are down with fewer restrictions.
