Would you rather shoot fireworks or watch a fireworks show on the 4th of July?

Now I watch my grandkids. When I was a kid, I loved shooting them.

I’d rather shoot them off. At least I’d have something to do besides just stare and “oooh” and “aaah”

I don’t like fireworks anymore. They’re traumatizing to animals.

Are you an animal?

My dogs love fireworks, but then they are used to having a shotgun shot over them. Big noises means it is time to work for them

My dog loves fireworks. He barks at them but is wagging his tail and watching them. If he can’t see them because they are nearby but not visible, he will run around to different windows to try to see them.

Dang. You guys are a tough crowd. Bigjewfus, what does me being an animal have to do with it?

Shoot but rarely have the opportunity due to restrictions

I’d lose some fingers launching fireworks…

I love the 4th and live in an extremely firework friendly location. I have my own 12 position mortar stand and ignition control board. All these years and still have all my digits👍🇺🇸🧨

I prefer to watch hubby set off fireworks. He has so much fun doing it. The show is just as neat. I don’t have to leave my backyard. I don’t have to deal with traffic, crowds, or strangers.

Our first full July in this house, we had an amazing 4th of July party. Hubby and 2 of his buddies did the fireworks show. We had games sand toys for the kids. We fed everyone with a taco bar. I think we had about 100 people that year.

Pretty much the same here. We do a big party in our cul de sac and my husband and sons in law shoot off the fireworks. My dog loves them too! He barks at them but is wagging his tail and watches them.

It is much cheaper too watch.
