It depends on enforcement. Where I live it's pretty strictly enforced. I do wish the big fireworks show was on the edge of town rather than in the middle of it but I still want the show. Just as responsibly as possible.

Where I am from, civilian fireworks are pretty much happening only during NYE. It is roughly 2 hours. The rest of the year fireworks are pretty much happening on some special shows or celebrations. You almost never hear fireworks the rest of the year.

Where I live now people like to shoot fireworks at random. I used to live near private small garden area and fireworks would fire on weekly basis all year long. It is even forbidden to do it at random, but that is not stopping people for some reason.

Wanted to add also that in my homeland fireworks are sold typically in hunting shops and I guess are strictly regulated while at the country I am at right now you can buy loads if fireworks in a grocery store if some sort of a festive celebration is around the corner.

Large town in Sweden. I'd say 95% is within the legal time span in our neighborhood and from what I've seen elsewhere it's fairly similar.

This is excepting no-go zones & rougher neighborhoods, but in some of these areas they literally attack first responders with fireworks so I'm not counting them.

Where do you live? That's excessive.

Worst I've seen in rural Michigan, is occasional fireworks the week before and after the 4th.

Now that I'm in the suburbs? Maybe a day before and after. Eh, could be worse.

I love this time of year. It drowns out the sound of gunfire.

Well, that's how it is in my country, and mostly respected outside no-go zones :)

Slightly different per municipality, but in general it's permitted 23-01 around the new year. Outside that, you need to apply to the police for permission.
