My husband and daughter are going to alabama to buy some. I'm not thinking its a good idea. Our whole 16 acres is woods with lots of underbrush afraid of catching Fire.

I don't get the AJC so I can't read the story. Does this mean that the public can buys real fireworks now?
Yeah, but not many places have been able to get a license in time. 2016 will be a better year for availability.

Sheltons is great, i used to make firework runs for a group of judges each year and I got to spend all the "reward" cash Sheltons gives out, I usually got to take home $500 in fireworks

Looks like there is a Phantom Fireworks store in Morrow (shows several stores in GA), might swing by there and see if they have any good stuff.

Stopped by the Phantom Shop, its in an old Rooms To Go store; prices are pretty high on some items compared to Alabama stores, some stuff is flat out outrageously expensive, but I saw a lot of items that are close to AL. pricing. Nearly everything is buy one get one free. So I guess if you don't want to make the drive to the border, it's not too bad.

At Phantom you have to regster to buy fireworks and they want to copy your DL.Also that buy one get one is already added to there prices.Exp they sale $15 firecrackers at Sheltons and are $29 at phantom but, but you get one free.Ah no ya dont its already in phantoms pricing.

Just soak em in water before you shoot em and they should be fine.

Agree 100%, the Buy one get one free is just a gimmick to lessen the sticker shock to those that don't know any better, but obviously factored in. As I said, prices were much higher than the border spots, so it really comes down to convenience Vs price.

I didn't have to "register", but they do want to see your DL and you have to sign a paper that says you are over 18 to purchase, which I believe is a part of the new GA law (not 100% sure on that).

Personally, I don't mind spending a little more and scaling down my overall purchase rather than driving to the border. Now if I were already over that way, no brainer. I'm sure that by next year competition will help drive prices down.
