While I hope that you would never find yourself in a position where you need to defend your hobby activities, I also hope that you are prepared in the event it becomes necessary.

Kenneth L. Kosanke, Ph.D. authored a paper containing some very good advice and granted permission for it to be presented here. Knowing what can get you into trouble is just as valuable as knowing what to do in the event you find youself in a confrontation with the authorities. Please read this information carefully.

If you have any question about the process that awaits an individual who has an encounter with the authorities regarding your fireworks hobby, I would suggest taking the time to view this linked 48 minute video presentation which requires Windows Media Player 9 or newer.

Please read, watch, and heed this advice! It may help you to avoid problems.
