Could you imagine if people would get together to shoot off their fireworks? A party of 10 would put the average paid for fireworks display to shame, and there’s going to be loads more than 10 people in your average area that would be shooting off fireworks

When people do this, they're still shooting off fireworks in your neighborhood, I don't get how this is much different from a single family shooting some off. One of my dogs gets scared that night, but he's perfectly fine the next day. I've always been a firm believer in the dogs being able to persist through a night of loud noises and have no issue with fireworks, whether or not I'm participating.
