Default the fourth is coming who's got FIREWORKS?

So the 4th is coming up and if you're anything like me your dropping just as much $$ on fireworks as you have been on your car. I'm looking to expand from my past year's assorment. Does anyone know of a good place or two in southern WI or NW indiana? I've dealt with phantom and extreme but i'm looking to up the boom this year.

Their is a place in indiana gary indiana I believe that has some huge stuff but you have to ask for it and hope they like you. I cant remeber what roads its on of but if you have 294 to 94 into indianda youll see on your left a huge t/a gas station sign the shop itself is like a grocery store liquor store. If you exit at the t/a sign and head north it might be cline avenue im not sure It might not be north but head torwards the sign and the first major intersection you make a right their is the little shack and this guy makes alot of custom mortars and bombs. we got full sticks lastyear that basicly just shot up and blew up some had color and some didnt he sold us a custom steel tube to shoot them out of. he also has alot of m80s and 1/4 sticks 1/2 sticks and tons of regular stuff im going up their sometime next week so ill have better directions for sure

be safe guys indiana has all the big stuff just have to find the little shacks and stay away from the big guys

Man I know weve been ok their the last 4 years in a row. The guy i get the stuff from like you walk up a flight of stairs and theirs literally about 100+ bullet holes from him shooting at people trying to steal stuff. Actually we found the place from basicly the roughest ghetto black dudes you would ever meet they said you want the big stuff follow us its like 2 blocks away so we figured wat the hell. Well when we saw the place and saw when point it out and drive away we figured it was all good we got out and asked for the big stuff real quietly and he took us in a back room. All in all if you stick close to 94 and dont venture into the town youll be ok just watch yourself dont get out with 20 guys standing around and things like that we get in and out real fast but the bang for the buck is definetly worth the drive as long as all goes as planned

gary is quite dangerous though the area we go into is basicly like a truck stop area so its not too bad

be carful guys

We used to make alot of homemade stuff out of basicly a copper or thin gauge steel tube and we used rocket engines like the kind for the kids rockets that ignite we used to take out the power seal both ends of the pipe we would use and use a sparkler as the fuse we made some pretty nasty stuff. very dangerous however. If you find a sheet metal shop im sure they would be more then willing u give you alot of small scrap metal. I work for one and we toss out alot of **** not much aluminum however
goodluck and be safe

If you take 294 over the border into IN, you will see all kinds of places.
