FIREWORKS: Personal 'rights' vs. common sense

| July 1, 2026 1:00 AM

I am a 20-year military veteran who supports our Constitutional rights wholeheartedly. I believe in the rule of law, and I think I understand the dance of enforcing weak ordinances in relation to priorities and manpower. 

Therefore, can I make a recommendation (hopefully someone can come up with an even better one). Since noise ordinances and disturbing the peace are a very low priority (especially in no man’s land Hayden), I suggest getting acquainted with your neighbors or contacting your precinct committeeman and flooding the non-emergency phone lines when someone thinks it’s their Constitutional right to shoot fireworks ad nauseam after midnight for 2 weeks before and after July 4th.
