Fireworks.... Not For Sale

We were driving to my appointment with the allergist this morning when we passed a fireworks store on Chester Pike in Eddystone. It's a real brick and mortar building, not just one of those tents you see on country roads in parts of Pennsyltucky. I had seen a billboard for same store along I-95 in Upper Chi and wondered, "Did they make fireworks legal in PA now?" As it turns out, no, they remain illegal. What's the point, you ask? Well, there's a big sign on the front of the building that says something to the effect of, "Sales to PA residents not permitted." Hmmm. So you can sell fireworks in Pennsylvania to non-Pennsylvanians who are going to take the explosives back to their home state (supposedly) to shoot them off. Neat. And sort of dumbtarded also. Oh well.
