I can see that. Obviously, in many places existing blanket bans on consumer fireworks (both sales and use) came a long time back, and more from authoritarian stick-in-the-mud types who always presume...

@BMoore, thanks for that clarification on the various subclassifications of 1.4. I'd not looked at those closely before now, and the "need to know" didn't present itself until I received this email....
I've noted the different subclassifications of 1.4 listed in the email, but am unsure how that relates specifically to AP product at this point. Is any/most/all AP categorized as UN0336? Or does...
That's pretty well how I look at it. As to buying elsewhere, I wasn't going to buy AP from SO76, but from one of Dave's sponsors who recognize his training certificate. I still plan to do so, but now...
I wholeheartedly agree with that assertion, but would guess that SO76 will be following this policy based upon what they assume to be the final, approved legislation. If it gets amended (or killed...
I've no idea where the push came from, nor was I aware until I read this email that any such changes were on tap. As the email stated, the state assembly and the state fire marshall are in the midst...
I recently received an email from Spirit of 76 regarding the requirements for purchasing or using (legally, anyway) AP products in the state of Missouri. I'll attach the pertinent portion below:
>...
I share the concern over the effect of humidity on product and fusing, as I'm in St Louis, MO where we typically have bad humidity (often 90%+ by early to mid June most years). That said, we have...
I don't really have a problem with this even though I bought Cobra hardware to start. Ignite wasn't out yet when I made my initial foray into electronic firing, and I'd not have bought Ignite in lieu...
I'm still very much small scale operation. Have grown my Cobra hardware to 216 total cues (planning for more, but not for this year most likely) and an audio box. Not certain if I'll use the audio...
Not sure yet if mine will be on the 4th proper, or on the 5th. I really dislike doing an mid-week shoot, as it ends up feeling rushed to tear down and clean up afterwards. At least that's how it...
Could it be a toy waking cane that fires a cap? Kind of a James Bondesque disguised prop type gun? Never seen this referred to in print before, but I seem to have a distant memory of a walking stick...
That's a bit unsettling. I think I'd prefer you to continue doing your own presentations. You are far more entertaining than little miss AI from HR.
Besides, she doesn't look like she has ever...
Ouch, a whole series of tough breaks there, it hurt just reading it. I've been hit with some personal setbacks recently as well, but nothing on that scale. It's good though that you have found the...
I don't think AP does much to imperil straight consumer product. Further regulation by busybodies at the behest of paranoid Karen's (and number of stupid accidents that get publicized) will probably...
There was some footage in the one news report that showed a few spent cakes, but nothing I could see either in terms of evidence ematch was used. I surmise this done off a hand lit fuse. Which means...
Where I've shot the last couple of years gives me 50-75' max from dwellings. Not ideal, but is within the requirements set forth here for discharge of consumer fireworks. I'm trying to nail down a...
Interesting to me that while what was shown in spent cakes was consumer packaged product, the video footage shows what looks like a lot of color tail to thunder (snowball) type breaks. So, apparently...
Got it. SO76 is my geographically closest wholesaler. I bought from them last year (all consumer case packs, no AP), and picked up in person. I was generally satisfied with what I got for the money...
Thanks for that, it offers some clarity on what the vendors are expecting in terms of proving oneself qualified. I've no aversion to taking a PGI course if/when I find one locally. I just wanted to...
Having just read the recently posted thread here on "value of PGI training class", I now am of the understanding that these courses apparently don't even address 1.4G AP specifically. Are most...
I'm looking forward to ordering and using some AP product this year, and have taken Dave's course so now have the needed "credential" to do so from vendors he has made appropriate arrangements with....
I keep unused product in plastic storage totes with a snap on lid. I keep those inside a metal storage cabinet (not fire resistant, though I wish it were). They are in a climate controlled area, so...
That's actually reassuring. I worry a bit about shooting product that's just a year or two old, as I frequently have left over stock I need to use every July.
I'm especially concerned about...
Ok, good to know. I don't recall seeing them do one last year, but I may have missed it.
