My brother told me up in Ohio to buy fireworks; you had to be checked at the door by a sheriff and sign waivers and could only be 18 or above to touch. You could have a gun, lighter, vape, or anything. Full pat-down.

Meanwhile, in TN there are open-air tents with shirtless dudes smoking and asking you to hold their gun while a 5yo picks up a mortar that weighs more than they do.
