Can you do your own fireworks in New Jersey?

Answer 1

The laws in every state are different, and different types of fireworks are banned in different places. Some states allow all or most types of consumer fireworks (formerly known as class C fireworks). These include shells and mortars, multiple tube devices, Roman candles, rockets, sparklers, firecrackers with no more than 50 milligrams of powder, and novelty items, such as snakes, airplanes, ground spinners, helicopters, fountains, and party poppers.

To show you the laws in each state, I have included a list of all states regulations. As you will notice, only a couple states have complete bans on any fireworks.

Other states only allow novelty fireworks or ban fireworks completely.
