Yes. Now imagine trying to console two 90-pound German shepherds as they shake and cry and try to go through a window or wall to get away from them (not realizing they're coming from outside in the first place). And the idiots across the street set off M-80s every year. They were quiet, law-abiding, God-fearing Baptists the rest of the year, but boy, come July 4th, all hell broke loose in their front yard. And no amount of pleasantly asking them to please keep it down to a dull roar would curtail them (they didn't have dogs).
And yeah, they're illegal here, too. It's legal to sell/buy them, but not to set them off. How much sense does that make? Stupid state.
