uhhh. can't it reach terminal velocity which is 300 ft/s ... and yea, i think that would mess you up pretty badly

anyways, i got some fireworks.... legal ones

WRONG! (partly)

From Mythbusters Episode 50: "Bullets Fired Up"

Bullets fired into the air maintain their lethal capability when they eventually fall back down.

busted / plausible / confirmed

In the case of a bullet fired at a precisely vertical angle (something extremely difficult for a human being to duplicate), the bullet would tumble, lose its spin, and fall at a much slower speed due to terminal velocity and is therefore rendered less than lethal on impact. However, if a bullet is fired upward at a non-vertical angle (a far more probable possibility), it will maintain its spin and will reach a high enough speed to be lethal on impact. Because of this potentiality, firing a gun into the air is illegal in most states, and even in the states that it is legal, it is not recommended by the police. Also the MythBusters were able to identify two people who had been injured by falling bullets, one of them fatally injured. To date, this is the only myth to receive all three ratings at the same time.

Big fireworks are illegal in Illinois... so I remember back in the day me & a few friends would drive over to Indiana and spend $500+ on them. On the way back, cops would ALWAYS stop and look to make sure we arent bringing them over.
The guys at the stores would package them in brown boxes labled "Kitchen Utensils" or would give a nice big 40'' tv box filled with fireworks to make sure we didnt get caught. Luckily we never did.

But anyway, I realized that spending money on fireworks is a BIG waste. Why spend that much money for something that'll last me an hour, when I can go downtown Chicago and watch REAL fireworks.

A cop can't just search your car because they suspect you have something illegal without some real reason. Just because you're crossing the state border isn't enough. Put it in your trunk and you're good to go. Not only that, but I don't even think it's illegal to buy illegal firework out of state and bring them back, only firing them off is (as far as I know).

but they could have probable cause for anything, they could say we smell gun powder, alcohol on your breath, or sex in your car and say do you have a prostitue haha, i got searced for some bs reason like that 4 years ago, and they cannot make you open your trunk as long as you are not being incarcerated already, but they will try to trick you to opening it, same with your shoes....well this is in texas
