Here's what Freedom did
Pass this ordinance, enacted in 2010:
TOWN OF FREEDOM, NH
FIREWORKS ORDINANCE
Pursuant to RSA 160-B:10 and RSA 160-C:6, the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Freedom, New Hampshire, hereby ordains as follows for the purpose of providing a tool for law enforcement and fire officials to deal with complaints, and to allow people to enjoy their property without diminishing the rights or safety of all others.
Non commercial displays of fireworks within the town of Freedom is prohibited. Commercial displays shall be required a permit through the Fire and Police Chief.
Non commercial fireworks will be permitted for a period of nine (9) days including four (4) days prior to July 4th and four (4) days after; New Years Eve up to 2am, New Years Day and 24 hours following the final out when the Red Sox win the world series; provided they are used in a safe manner, in a non-densely populated area (as determined by the enforcing officer). No fireworks will be permitted after 10pm.
No minors may use fireworks without direct adult supervision.
I guess they don't like the NE Pats though cause you can't use fireworks if they win the super bowl. And New Years is a bit confusing cause it says you can use fireworks until 2am but the last line says "No fireworks will be permitted after 10pm."
