Five Day Waiting Period for Sparklers?
Per the Daily Times:
Yet, some retailers like Gorilla Fireworks and Atomic Fireworks of South Pittsburg, which supplies Fireworks Super Store in Lenoir City, have reported some regular customers hesitated to buy fireworks this year because of unwarranted concerns they need a license.
A license is not required to buy fireworks.
Despite the confusion, Suttles reported brisk sales, especially this week.
At Fireworks Super Store, manager Teresa Brock said the only real change she’s noticed this year is a visit from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA stopped by to drop off posters alerting customers that they cannot fly with fireworks.
Apparently, the new rules only apply to people putting on fireworks shows and not individuals purchasing fireworks. People putting on fireworks shows must go through the same process as people purchasing explosives.

Some of the people putting on shows probably need to go through ‘fireworks safety training’ too.
