Missouri’s Fireworks Laws Just Got a Heck of a Lot Stricter

Have you heard about the changes that Missouri just made to the state's fireworks laws? Let's put it this way. Selling and using fireworks just got a whole lot stricter and I predict some will not be happy about it.

I think it was Fox 2 in St. Louis that I first saw share the word that Missouri Senate Bill SB81 had passed. Since I'm not a lawyer and don't want to misinterpret what lawmakers just decided. Here are the exact words from Missouri Senate Bill 81 for you to make up your own mind about.

While I'll gladly remain neutral on the pros and cons of this Missouri Senate bill, I will say that in general I'm always in favor of erring on the side of safety. Whether this new Missouri bill tightens the restrictions too tight...well, I'll leave that for you to decide for yourself.
