I think the mark up is really high. Fuck Krazy Kaplan rents every single billboard on 294 from 95th street all the way to the Indiana border. And on i80 too. It's pretty comical. Fuck that Jew I will never buy fireworks from him. :lol:

 

My wife just commented on that shit last week.....fucking kaplans and their never ending sea of billboards

That shit there is not to be fucked with ........they do a large show about a half mile from my place and these guys do it every year for a crowd of people in the 500-1000 range. Last year something went wrong and a guy lost an arm and his partner had part of his lower leg blown off.

Now a 2" mortar will kill your ass dead too but the margin of error is a little greater there

I've launched more 3" and 6" shells than I can count, we used to put on a show at my buddies house that would rival some of the park district shows, when we first started we used cigars and cigs for ignition and after several years we progressed to flares on the end of a 3' stick of conduit along with face shields to stop the sunburn effect you get from launching up close. 

Yes it was dangerous and stupid but what a thrill it was to be up so close to feel the heat and the blastwave when it leaves the tube and the whole time you are in the fog of burnt gunpowder, the best part is that the people loved it :bc:

Stupid margins,  the ones here net north of 100k in the 2 weeks around the fourth and next to nothing besides hopefully cover overhead the rest of the year.  there probably 10 shops in the next town south of me as the town pretty much embraced it when no one else would.

There are enough professional shows that last 1/2 hour or so which are great and entertaining but it the toothless inbred hicks that are out a week before and a week after putting up shells at midnight that truely is not inspiring and just a nuisance.   I take great joy know many people over the fourth holiday maim themselves and there families firing shitty little fireworks off thinking they are accomplishing something special.

The people on our chain of lakes put on a great show and I like to contribute. The bigger consumer fireworks and very nice and well worth the $1000 or so we spend every year

Walmart has 12 packs of tampons on sale this week.  I think the display case is right next to the seasonal fireworks sale.

I was buying from a guy that had a store front in Valpo IN. It was just east of the mall on RT 30 about 4 miles east of 65. You could buy 4" mortars from him and special order stuff. He is a retired Chicago cop as I recall,and gives cash discounts. PM me if you need more info? He is on the up and up and won't ship to a state with fag laws. You have to pick up the big stuff at his store front.

Nice setup Sheldon :bc:

Now what can I expect to pay on the street for 3" and 6" shells?

 

I wouldn't know, I buy legally through a licensed wholesaler,  I suggest you stick with sparklers.

My bud has a connection and gets mostly 2's and 2 1/2's. That plenty if you're just doing the neighborhood show.

You can buy 3" pretty much anywhere over here. Over that you need a connection.
