Please stop the use of fireworks – especially near equestrian communities – horses are severely bothered and can cause themselves deadly injury with the use of fireworks where people are negligent and basically don’t care about the horses or the dogs or veterans with PTSD – it’s difficult to get the public to understand that horses don’t care that fireworks are so pretty but trying to calm a horse with an injury while the neighbors fire off rockets and bombs is going to cause injury to both the horse and the owner trying to calm the animal. Please make fireworks illegal in Florida – we don’t need to have fireworks handled unprofessionally – something that isn’t important not to mention a fire hazard where we live in citrus county where we haven’t had a soaking rain in months.

I have 4 horses and ponies. 2 are terrified of the very loud bombs that go high in the sky. I had one get injured last year trying to jump a fence to escape the sudden boom. Where is your head Governor DeSantis? We have many veterans with PTSD that are triggered by these loud booms. My horses are my life, registered and full blooded non registered. Who pays if fireworks cause an injury or death? I am surrounded by private homes and subdivisions that once were empty fields. And the morons who live in them set these things off for a week at a time. Where is my right to peace and quiet and the safety of my animals? Will YOU be responsible to compensate me for the loss of an irreplaceable horse that is dearly loved? My property is full of trees as well. What happens if one catches fire? There should be a law that they cannot be allowed within a mile of livestock of any kind.. Dairy farmers, egg farms etc all lose income when their animals are frightened enough not to be able to produce.

With everything going on in our world right now this was a very bad decision!! We have so much gun firing going on and now I’ve heard they will use the fireworks to cover up the noise of gunfire, plz reconsider and stop this, it’s a very bad idea.

As a Floridian and a Owner of a firework company I am glad that this has passed. I was not comfortable having people sign a waver so I only sold Sparklers in Florida. But now that this is law I will be selling all types just Like I do In Alabama and in Mississippi. I hope that you guys learn about the proper process in lighting them and stay safe. If anyone has any questions your welcome to contact us and we have brief train session at our stores. Be Safe and Have Fun

REGARDING:
“moving quickly toward inverted totalitarianism.”

Please tell us more about “inverted totalitarianism.” It sounds like fun.

REGARDING:
“Any fireworks?”

I had to laugh. I pictured Henry tossing sticks of dynamite.

Then I remembered at one time it was against the law to set off firecrackers but you could still buy dynamite at any hardware store and use it. You COULD, but Daddy wouldn’t let me. (pout)

When I think how many of us have broken the fireworks law over the years, I am reminded we are a nation of outlaws. And that’s a good thing.

Now if people can just learn how to NOT blow off fingers…

David for freedom, wisely used

Maybe now we can buy the fireworks within state borders and quit stimulating the Wilcox Road firework economy every year.
