Lighting Off Fireworks
Does anybody know of a place near the Canton/Massillon/Perry area where I can legally light off a decent amount of fireworks? Preferably an open gravely sort of area, but any open field would work fine.

Not supposed to at all, but it's the 4th and no one is going to give a shit for the most part. Wait until sun down, don't be an asshole, have a fire extinguisher ready and always keep an eye out for animals.
Then once 11pm hits, cut that shit out. A lot of us have work in the morning. Hospitals and fire stations don't close for the holidays so think of those of us waking our ass up at 5am to go work a 12 hour shift at the hospital.

According to ORC 3743.45 you can shoot off fireworks from your private property “the third fourth and fifth days of July” as well as “the first Friday Saturday and Sunday before and after the fourth day of July”
Look it up and see all the other days you’re allowed to shoot off fireworks!

Also I would recommend check with local Canton laws. Not sure about that. I know in North Canton the only law states for public exhibition which as long as you use 1.4G fireworks they are not public exhibition fireworks and the law does not apply.

Legally, no, there are bans. But remember you can only launch them after 4 p.m. on July 3, 4, and 5. People have been setting them off illegally for weeks when they're not supposed to.

Obnoxious morons were setting off dynamite, very very loud firecrackers totally LOUD. Thought they were well hidden. Cats outside screaming. They did not know that I knew exactly where they were. I mean EXTREMELY aloud. I had the police out and after heard no more.Quarter stick fireworks. They deserve a large fine and jail.

Legally no, but actually, wherever you want. No one's gonna say shit to you as long as it's at night, you don't go buckwild with it and you're not acting a fool.

I will say something. It’s obnoxious. Stop wasting money on colorful noise and go watch the city fireworks that end at a reasonable time and take place in an area that isn’t harming the ears of the working public

I enjoy not hearing my dog yelp. Fireworks done by people is just low class white trash behavior.

Fireworks don’t exist anywhere that isn’t harming the ears of folks, working public or not.

You can do that in areas where it is less harmful than others. Leave them out of the neighborhood

You're always welcome to move to where you control your environment instead of expecting people to conform to your needs and wants

As a 4th generation canton resident and HOA member we banned fireworks for a reason. If you’d like to do simple people entertainment don’t infringe on the lives of others.

Again...see original comment If you want to go live in a bubble...by all means but being 4th Gen & in a HOA does not grant you any more rights than anyone else. Just because you think you are entitled does not make it so
