i was talking to a friend about this topic and i was just curious to see if anyone knew what the laws exactly were… i know that you can purchase some of the tiny firecrackers from within the state… but when it comes to people bringing in fireworks and such from ohio, what are the laws that regulate it, and what do the police do if they catch you?

btw, i don’t own any illegal fireworks or plan or importing them from ohio 😉

this is what i got…

"1. PA Law states that any governing official from a town or municipality can grant permission to obtain and display fireworks for personal, public recreational or agricultural use. This is under the PA Fireworks Law Act of 1939. Remember, you must get your permit signed first before buying your fireworks and have it with you at the time of purchase.

1. Who is a governing official or who can sign the permit?

2. Why do we need a permit?

3. Who is Liable?

4. Are permits good for multiple transactions?

5. Once your permit is signed, you have one year to purchase fireworks. Remember, obtaining a permit is a PRIVILEGE, so use it wisely. Above all, use COMMON SENSE and BE SAFE! Enjoy, Fireworks are an American Tradition, so make your next festive event the safest, happiest holiday ever!"
