I don't get the AJC so I can't read the story. Does this mean that the public can buys real fireworks now?
New fireworks law
- Thread starter Gunsite Grad
- Start date
Yeah, but not many places have been able to get a license in time. 2016 will be a better year for availability.
Sheltons has always been good to me.Ive been to phantom , big zacks, fireworks city and crazy steves.Sheltons get my money best selection and prices imo.
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
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.
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.
