There's an old saying, "You can foolproof the tool, but you can't toolproof the fool. Some people shouldn't handle fireworks. Some can. The State has maintained only State supervised displays are safe. As we saw recently, they can't be safe 100 percent of the time. Other states allow fireworks and don't seem to have a problem with it. There are always going to be accidents, but when do we let the few decide the fate of many? If 1 person in NC can't handle fireworks, do the rest have to suffer.
