Very true, kind of. You can get the generic fireworks here in PA that a 3 year old wouldn't OOOOOH and AAAAHHHH over, but if you cross the border into Ohio, you can buy everything short of military rocket launchers and dynamite if you prove that you live in PA. (Actually you can get that best fireworks if you buy from a state that you DON'T live in.)

A couple of years ago in Michigan a guy was convicted of this after he fell out of his canoe and started swearing within earshot of some kids....not all of these laws are as dead as you would imagine.
