Fireworks ban statewide!

[El Supremo]

17. I have no idea what the laws in Cortez are...

But in metro Denver all private fireworks are banned. You can pay a hefty fine and get them confiscated. In some neighborhoods, like mine, so many people ignore the law that the police can't do much enforcement.

Another problem with this is that many people don't call and complain out of fear of retaliation. There is a veterinarian across the street from me who rescues Great Danes and is afraid of her back door neighbors doing something to her dogs. So she does not call the police. She just hides in the basement with her dogs every night. This is not right!
