~~<p>Question: When I went to purchase fireworks permits last month, I was asked how many permits I wanted. Is there a limit? They are $25 apiece. Each permit is good for “5,000 individual units.” So for five boxes of #5,000, I would have to purchase five permits?</p>
<p>That would cost me $125 just in permits. That’s a conspiracy that the city has going! When you purchase a box of #5,000 firecrackers, there aren’t 5,000 individual firecrackers in the box; it’s a lot less than that. It’s a system that is used to identify the different sizes of firecrackers. What is the actual amount that can be purchased?</p>
