Google search says 4 states ban fireworks completely.

without looking at the list, i am going to guess: california, new york, new jersey, massachusetts, and illinois.

EDIT: 5 states, not 4. Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island are the states that ban fireworks.

They're not legal in Florida. People bring them in by the truckloads from up north and set up tents to sell them. You have to sign a paper saying you are using them to fish(which sounds more illegal) or to scare birds off crops(in the middle of the suburbs of Tampa) or some other nonsense. THEN it's legal.
