Reversed Fireworks Law?

[Jinx]

My wife claims she heard that the State of MD reversed its ban on fireworks. Did anyone else hear this, too? If so, what’s the scoop…to defend our homes and prove our flag is still there?

Not to the best of my knowledge, and I would think that something like that would be common knowledge. I don’t see MD changing their laws on fireworks any time soon though I could be wrong. I’ve lived in MD all my life FTR.

I think my wife must have heard wrong, even though MD ranks high in being the nation’s supplier of professional pyrotechnics. …Don’t know what she must have heard!

Blurb from “order this issue now!” page. I can’t find this anywhere else.

Fireworks issue 40
Maryland legislates in favour of firework freedom;

http://www.patrioticfireworks.com/q-and-a.htm

Under no circumstances will we sell fireworks to residents of the state of Maryland unless they possess a current permit signed by the Maryland State Fire Marshal.

Is that maybe a change?

Due to our state laws, we are prohibited from selling fireworks to residents of the State of Maryland and there are no exceptions to this rule [except if you have a permit from the State Fire Marshal, evidently]. Anyone else is welcome to visit our plant/ warehouse, but we prefer you place your order in advance, so we can have it pulled and ready for you. You will be asked for proof of residence and that you are over 18 years old (driver’s license). All sales are at wholesale and must be immediately removed from the State of Maryland.

Is this maybe a new loophole?
