Patch: Should Maryland Allow the Sale of Fireworks?

Should Maryland Allow the Sale of Fireworks?

We asked Patch readers from across Maryland what they thought - here's what you said.

Shared from the Annapolis, MD Patch By Patch Staff (Patch Staff) -  July 3, 2016


Fourth of July weekend is upon us which means parades, barbecues and of course - fireworks. The legality of fireworks varies from county to county in Maryland. Fireworks with explosives and projectiles are illegal in the state.

In some local jurisdictions, the sale and use of fireworks — even sparklers — is prohibited. Only gold-labeled sparklers, novelty items -- such as party poppers, snap pops, and snakes -- and ground-based sparkler devices are allowed in Maryland, says the state fire marshal’s office.

In Baltimore, Montgomery and Prince George's counties sparklers are also illegal, with the punishment in Montgomery County potentially escalating to a $1,000 fine or six months in jail.

Purchasing and transporting fireworks across state lines is also considered illegal in Maryland. According to the Baltimore County Government, the use of the following devices are completely forbidden: Firecrackers, Cherry Bombs, Black Cats, M-80s, Crackling Balls and Smoke Bombs, Roman Candles and Bottle Rockets. The complete list can be viewed here.


Patch asked readers and Facebook users across the state if they thought these rules and guidelines were fair, and should Maryland allow fireworks to be sold?

Westminster Patch by Kevin Dayhoff, November 25, 2013 – December 14, 2013


Sadly, for folks who have suffered a personal loss in recent years, the holidays can also be a difficult time and leave friends and family starring down a long vacant hallway (Kevin Dayhoff, October 16, 2010)
This past week marked the beginning of the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays. It is a time to celebrate the past year with our friends and family and look forward to new beginnings.

If you are feeling blue for the holidaze – reach-out for help. You might be surprised to find-out how many friends will go out on a limb to help - know the way out… Just saying. (Kevin Dayhoff, January 8, 2013 in Crete.)
However, sadly the holidays can also be a difficult time for folks who have suffered a personal loss in recent years. Especially if that personal loss occurred in the past year…

Remember Jesus is the reason for the season. And everything happens for a reason… (Kevin Dayhoff, January 8, 2013 at Suda Bay Cemetery in Crete, Greece.)
Fortunately there are many resources in the community that are available to help cope. Although Carroll Hospice has already had a “coping with the holidays” workshop, many local churches have a “Blue Christmas” service including Taylorsville United Methodist Church. (And of course, there is always “Retail Therapy - All signs point to shopping locally in Carroll County this Christmas season.”)

If you are feeling blue for the holidays, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn how many of your friends care for you and are willing to lend a hand. Don’t row this boat alone. (Kevin Dayhoff, June 8, 2013)
The service at Taylorsville will take place on December 19, 2013 at 7 p.m. at 4356 Ridge Road, Mt Airy, MD 21771.

Pastor Sarah B. Dorrance serves as the pastor at Taylorsville and writes, Blue Christmas “is a time to be celebrating the birth of our Savior even in the midst of changed circumstances that might be hard for us. It is a time to remember that Jesus changes everything, even the hurts and the pains we might be experiencing today, and the birth of our Lord is something special to be celebrated.”
