There is a local fireworks store about 6 miles from my house. (Pro Fireworks). In May they will start selling ammunition & exploding rifle targets. Just thought that was a bit odd.

I don't think it's too unusual. I've been in stores that didn't sell fireworks alone. One sold garden ornaments, a second sold plants and another sold local souvenirs. I've seen some places that are basically gas stations that sell fireworks. I've also seen a place that sells golfing stuff or at least I think that's what they do. While you will find large fireworks chains and stores, I think you'll find just as many if not more smaller stores that sell more than just fireworks.

That sounds like Eastern Oregon. Combination Espresso bar, strip club and lumberjack supply store. And gas, which you aren't allowed to pump yourself.

Get this....our gas station sells liquor, guns and ammo, and fireworks. I'm wondering if the phrase "Hey hold my beer and watch this!!!" originated from there, lol!

They have been selling exploding targets for a while now. As far as I know they've been selling Ammunition all this month.

I know at least one large fireworks chain that sells exploding rifle targets. I think a fair percentage of fireworks enthusiasts are also gun enthusiasts. In fact, I've had more than one person when finding out that I shoot fireworks ask me if I know places to buy Tannerite rifle targets. So there is at least some public perception that firework distributors may be a source for rifle targets.

As far as ammunition, keep in mind that gun and ammunition sales are essential businesses. This particular store may have figured that there is enough cross over business to use this as a means of staying open during the pandemic. Ammo is a hot commodity right now so it may have been a very wise business decision actually.

There's a little shop in Poland, that sells
a wide selection of European fireworks along with energy drinks, cigarettes, alcohol and adult "items".
