It's been fun trying to educate the n00bs about fireworks here in CO. If you hear "gunshots", and it's +/- 1 month of July, yeah, it's probably fireworks. If you had more range time, you'd also know the difference.

I live in Westminster. We are allowed to shoot off the legal ones today and tomorrow. I think maybe even the 5th. We also have a larger list of ?legal fireworks? than most cities. Pretty much everything that is sold at a Colorado stand or store. Trust me, some of these are loud and some down right obnoxious. Took the kid to Old Glory off of federal and spent some $$$. Our culdesac has 2 dog residents and they both like fireworks. No vets. Younger couples who like fireworks. And beers. Going to be a fun few days/ nights.
My neighbor was on the board in Thornton that got us this stupid "100% of fireworks are illegal and we're going to waste city funds on dumbass signs to tell everyone" business this year. He kept pestering me to be on the board, but I knew it was going to be a bunch of dumbshit old cat ladies and other whiners weaving a beautiful tapestry of potato decisions, so I passed. Sorry Thornton.Quote:

Anyway, as to the quoted post, that seems to be what they do in Nebraska. Blow off what you like for two-three days surrounding the Fourth with strict time limits, and they don't have the problem of people being obnoxious for a month on either side of the holiday.
I read this in my head to the tune of Please Don't Judas Me... LOLQuote:

Friend who lives in Montana is trying to brag up how much freedom is out there all the time. Tonight he is bragging about big fireworks the night before the 4th. I laughed and told him that since they are totally illegal here, we get to hear them for a month before, and a month after the 4th. No joke in my neighborhood.
Like clockwork, some idiot posted up they heard "gunshots" at 8:45pm. I did find out I have some pretty funny neighbors.
"Sounded like an Uzi. Do you think it was an Uzi?"
"Have you ever actually heard a gunshot? Fireworks sound exactly nothing like a gunshot. This is Highlands Ranch, not Compton."
"Sounded like an Uzi?"
"Definitely a friggen Uzi near 4th of July. Oh lord."
"I know the Highlands Ranch crips and the Lone Tree bloods have been fighting over turf. It's probably them. Hard to tell."
"Put your phone down, go outside, and enjoy the show."
"Hide your wife, hide your kids, the Ranch is getting shot up!!"
"Own a calendar???"
"Yeah, definitely an Uzi."
"Ah, thank you. It had been like 4 days without a 'anyone else hear gun shots?!' post. I'm so glad we got at least one more in before the 4th. Happy birthday America!"
"Totally a fire fight...thought I even caught a M2 and Mk19 volley of fire."
"I heard a bomb go off! But I'm pretty sure it was my wife exploding after I told her the salad tastes horrible. If I were you I would hide behind your Prius, I heard the batteries are eco friendly."
"I heard a cruise missile fly overhead but no gunshots."
Now that's damm funny!
I have managed to keep my mouth shut on Nextdoor so far, but it is very hard. Boulder libs aren't quite sure what to do when somebody takes a dump in their echo chamber

And I get to go to some sketchy shit holes...
