The Outlaws: What Goes Boom in the Night (But Not Legally)
- Skyrockets and Bottle Rockets: These airborne daredevils are a big no-no. Apparently, Oklahomans like their fireworks a little less, well, sky-high.
- M-80s: These little guys pack a punch that's a bit too powerful for the Sooner State. Let's leave the M-80s to the professionals, shall we?
- Sky Lanterns: These enchanting floating lights are beautiful, but they pose a real fire hazard. Stick to sparklers for your wish-making desires.
- Mail Order and Door-to-Door Fireworks: Forget the shady internet deals and the sketchy guy in a van. Only buy your fireworks from licensed retailers. Safety first, friends!
Remember: Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to fireworks. Always double-check local ordinances too, because some cities and towns might have even stricter rules.
