When the Oklahoma thing happened, I quit making homade fireworks. I used to make the most beautiful James Bond fireball type things and set them off out on a barge in the Bay hidden in the fog. I never hurt a thing, I just liked a good light show. After OKC, everything got serious and anyone who can make anything is suspect. I've been too scared to make a sparkler since. Buy them in Wyoming. Or on the Indian reservation from that three fingered guy with one eye.
