......arrgghhhh.....I'll probably get slammed for bringing this item up but here goes .....here's a New Hampshire connection to the Boston Marathon bombing......On February 6, 2013, the older brother purchased a $199.99 firework item containing four launch tubes and 24 black powder shells from Phantom Fireworks in Seabrook, NH. For buying this one item, he received a second similar item for free in a 'buy one-get one free promo deal.'
Do Massachusetts stores have fireworks items like this item for sale?
Maybe he travelled the 45-minutes to one hour-drive time from Cambridge, MA to Seabrook, NH, depending on traffic, to avoid the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax or more likely, it's because Mass has no fireworks stores (is this correct?)?
Suggest you read about it in today's April 24 New York Daily News which includes a photo of the fireworks item and the store in Seabrook, NH.

This particular firework item is described on the box as "barely legal."
