Independence Day celebrations across the country feature grand displays of fireworks, often sponsored by the local city or county government.  Lots of folks love to join in and light their own fireworks in backyards, beaches, and lakefronts. There are a multitude of fireworks stores where you can buy fireworks legally, but increasingly, buying fireworks online is an attractive option for many. However, be very careful if you choose to try to buy fireworks online. Many states explicitly prohibit shipping of fireworks even when buying fireworks and using them is legal. Others set up specific permitting to allow shipment. Ohio, for example, requires a shipping permit be obtained by the shipping party (along with a fee of over $2000!).

If you want to buy fireworks online, do your homework first to avoid serious legal issues and penalities.  For more information on fireworks laws in your state, visit Fireworks.com.
